MUN #: Q2. Some technical specifications of a 20kW wind turbine are given in the Table 1 above. Propose a control system for this wind turbine. (i.e. Draw control system block diagram, explain its supervisory/ dynamic controller and list a typical sequence of operation from startup to shutdown.) (3+2+3)Name: MUN # Q3. Calculate daily and yearly electricity requirements of your laptop, We want to meet that electricity requirement using a fixed rooftop solar panel and an isolated battery based system. Average annual solar insolation in St. John’s is 3.25kWhi(m* day). Assume 15% efficient fixed solar panels facing south. Calculate the total area of the required solar array. Explain what else is needed to build such a system and draw a circuit diagram of the proposed system (2424242)Name: Q4.

A man is interested in powering his house using a micro hydro system, He has a small river nearby. With a penstock length of about 30m he can have a head of Sm and flow rate about 600 litres per second. Assume turbine and generator are 80% efficient and penstock losses are 10%. Calculate the possible power output and propose a system for him. i.e Suggest type of turbine, generator ac/de, contro! method, possible grid interface and draw a block diagram of the proposed system.
