  1. Sustainable Energy Development for Albacete Assignment 1, Part 2 Mimi Zhang Astrid Wood September 18, 2007

  2. Best Scenario: BedZed, UK • Beddington Zero Energy Development in Wallington, Surrey • Buildings all have solar panels and “wind catchers” • 109kW of PV for 82 units • 100 unit development is powered by a 130kW combined heat and power biomass plant • Parking spaces are expensive • Community has a car-pool scheme and plug-in spots for electric cars • 700 people signed up for future zero energy housing http://www.nesea.org/publications/NESun/BedZED.html

  3. Best Scenario: Dyfi, Wales • Ecodyfi, mid-Wales, UK • Community owned and developed renewable energy: • 120kW from hydro-power • 75KW and 340KW wind turbines • Around 40kW of installed solar power • More in development http://www.ecodyfi.org.uk/energy/renewables.htm

  4. Worst Scenario: Linfen, China • Linfen city in Shanxi, China • World’s most polluted city for many years • Home to a hundreds of coke ovens, coal • processing plants, pharmaceutical factory, among others • Residents suffer from chronic respiratory problems, high rate of cancer Source: NPR

  5. How does Albacete fit? • Albacete can strive to: • Make new developments as green as BedZed, encouraging efficient buildings • Build urban solar and wind generation • Development biomass energy and combined heat and power generation • Decrease coal usage by co-firing coal with biomass • Development cleaner methods of transportation such as public transit that runs on natural gas or biofuels, and eventually, even hydrogen

  6. Data for energy analysis • Which existing class GIS data would be needed? • Solar data • Biofuels data • Any existing energy-use data • Land-use data • Additional required data • Location and voltage of transmission lines • Location of transformers • Location and size of wind farms, individual turbines • Location, size, and type of coal power plants • Location of gas stations (for integrating hydrogen cars) • Locations of renewable manufacturing plants
