  1. Garima Raheja, Miguel Martinez, Patrick Baker, Victoria Salova July 2013 Cluster 3 With Special Thanks to Prof. Jan Kleissl, Mr. Filipe Mejia, Dr. Joel Norris, Ms. Megan Jones The Key to a Sustainable Future: Wind and Solar Energy

  2. Background • Renewable energy • wind • solar • 11.86% of world's energy: • 1.7% is solar energy • 12.6% is wind power • Problem: Storage • Electrical demand in California is largest on hot and humid days when people turn on air conditioning. Are solar power and wind power also large on hot and humid days?

  3. Methods

  4. With every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature, the increase in the solar radiation is 198 Watts/m2 (±31). With every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature, there is an increase in wind speed of 0.36 meters/second (±0.14) With every 1 degree Celsius increase in dew point, the solar radiation increases by 231 Watts/m2(±71). With every 1 degree Celsius increase in dew point, there is an increase in wind speed of 0.32 meters/second (±1.6)

  5. Conclusion • Solar radiation • Wind power • Limitations • Time constraints • Place constraints • Future experiments
