You are considering building a residential wind power system to produce 6,000 kWh of electricity each year. The installed cost o

f the system is $1.50/Winstalled. The system is estimated to have a capacity factor of 22% and a 10 year life. The interest rate is 8% with an operations and maintenance cost of $0.04/kWhgenerated. What is the leveled cost of electricity for the system ($/kWh)?

Answer:

leveled cost of electricity LCOE is 0.1159/kwh

Explanation:

given data:

installation cost of system = $1.50/winstalled

capacity factor = 22%

life = 10 year

rate of interest 8%

operation and maintenance cost = $0.04 / kwh generated

capcaitence recovery factorCRF = \frac{i(i+1)^n}{(i+1)^n -1}

i= rate of interest

n = annuity period

CRF = \frac{0.08(1+0.08)^10}}{(1+0.08)^{10} -1} = 0.14903

LCOE = \frac{cost\ of \installation \times CRF}{hours/ available \times capacity\ factor} + variable\ o&M\ cost

=  \frac{1.50\times 1000/kw \times 0.14903}{8760\times 0.22} + 0.04/kwh

          = 0.1159/kwh + 0.04 /kwh

          = 0.1559 /kwh

What is an advantage of a nuclear-fission reactor?.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Nuclear fission is almost 8,000 times more efficient than traditional fossil fuels at producing energy. That's a lot of energy packed into a small space. Nuclear energy is more efficient, which means it uses less fuel to power the plant and produces less waste.


advantages:
-produces no polluting gases
-does not contribute to global warming
-very low fuel costs
-Low fuel quantity reduces mining and transportation effects on environment
-High technology research required benefits other industries
-Power station has very long lifetime

Disadvantages:
-Waste is radioactive and safe disposal is very difficult and expensive
-Local thermal pollution from wastewater affects marine life
-Large-scale accidents can be catastrophic
-Public perception of nuclear power is negative
-Costs of building and safely decommissioning are very high
-Cannot react quickly to changes in electricity demand

List and describe three classifications of burns to the body.
DiKsa [7]

AnswerWhat Are the Classifications of Burns? Burns are classified as first-, second-, or third-degree, depending on how deep and severe they penetrate the skin's surface. First-degree burns affect only the epidermis, or outer layer of skin. The burn site is red, painful, dry, and with no blisters.
