  1. Opportunities for Renewable Power Resources in Florida What are our options? Prepared by Sun Energy Engineering, LLC

  2. Renewable Resources • Hydroelectric (run of river or storage) • Pumped storage hydro • Photovoltaic solar • Solar thermal • Organic waste combustion (i.e., MSW, wood harvest scrap, landfill methane) • Wind • Geothermal • Ocean Current/tides

  3. Renewable ResourcesAvailable in Florida • Hydroelectric (run of river or storage) • Pumped storage hydro • Photovoltaic solar • Solar thermal • Organic waste combustion (i.e., MSW, wood harvest scrap, landfill methane) • Wind • Geothermal • Ocean Current/tides

  4. Renewable ResourcesAvailable in Florida • Hydroelectric (run of river or storage) • Pumped storage hydro • Photovoltaic solar • Solar thermal • Organic waste combustion (i.e., MSW, wood harvest scrap, landfill methane) • Wind • Geothermal • Ocean Current/tides

  5. Renewable ResourcesAvailable in FloridaAdvantages and Disadvantages • Photovoltaic solar • Solar thermal • Organic waste combustion (i.e., wood harvest scrap, landfill methane)

  6. Renewable ResourcesAvailable in FloridaAdvantages and Disadvantages • Photovoltaic solar • PRO • No greenhouse gas emissions • Well-understood technology • Close to point of consumption • Flexible installation options (Central or dispersed) • Energy Storage capability (batteries, inverter) • CON • High cost per kW/kWh • High storage cost

  7. Renewable ResourcesAvailable in FloridaAdvantages and Disadvantages • Solar • PRO • No greenhouse gas emissions • Moderate cost per kWh/kW • Energy Storage capability (mineral oil storage) • Flexible sizing and location of large installations • CON • New and poorly understood technology • Utility level generation (not close to load)

  8. Renewable ResourcesAvailable in FloridaAdvantages and Disadvantages • Organic waste combustion • PRO • Moderate cost per kW/kWh • Dispatchable • CON • Greenhouse gas emissions • Not close to load • Limited fuel supply

  9. Renewables in FloridaSuggested Order of Preference • Solar Thermal • Lower Cost per kWh • Large Scale • Solar Photovoltaic • Higher Cost per kWh • Many small packages • Organic Waste Combustion • Waste material must be disposed of anyway
