  1. Adam Benjamin Kevin Brokish Joel Wiechmann Joseph Wang Eric Wilson Capstone – Spring 2007 - PDR

  2. Presentation Objectives • Propose and Present the Project • Convince of feasibility • Demonstrate appropriate complexity

  3. Presentation Outline • Vision • Mission • Strategy • Implementation

  4. Vision Inspiring a Vision

  5. Vision

  6. Mission Purpose of Existence

  7. Mission Statement The mission of SimBoulder is to demonstrate the effective integration of renewable energy power sources

  8. Baseline Objectives • Model City Power Infrastructure • residential, industrial, commercial and transportation • varying load characteristics • varying power usage based on time of day • Integrate renewable and traditional power sources • sense and control percentage of power taken from each source • integration of renewable and traditional sources • storage of renewable and grid power

  9. Baseline Objectives • Measurement and Display • traditional vs. renewable energy sources • real-time power consumption • Cost & Environmental foot print comparisons • Energy Management Demo • incandescent vs. fluorescent • insulation • conservation

  10. Boulder Pop. = 90,000 Power consumption = 200 MW Size = 30 square miles Time = 24 hrs SimBoulder Population = 0 Power consumption = 2 W Size = 8 square feet Time = 2.4 min Function Specifications Ratio Power consumption & Area = 100,000,000:1 Time = 600 : 1

  11. Functional Specifications • Division of Energy • Residential – 22% • Industrial – 32% • Transportation – 28% • Commercial – 18%

  12. Functional Specifications

  13. Solar Specs • 6 solar panels • Rated 4V and 100 mA • Lamp = “Sun”

  14. Reservoir Specs • Two fish tanks, a pump and a generator • Build generator • Don’t know yet generator specs or power production capabilities

  15. Possible Extensions • Add wind power • Advanced Peak Power Tracker • More energy efficient loads • Change from DC to AC • Weather Simulations: - Shadowing Effect (cloudy day) - Drought (reservoir runs dry)

  16. Strategic Approach Creating a Strategy
