Variations in the solar resource are probably the first and main consideration. You can use local weather stations where available, otherwise satellite data (eg from NASA's website) or commercial databases such as Meteonorm. Also there is quite a comprehensive set of data files in the SAM software
Other important considerations are
local environment: plants and animals that could be affected by the system; community support and buy-in.wind, hail, rain, snow profile for the location in question. if there are high/tropical winds then it will increase the plant cost.flight paths and roads near the plant which could be affected by glint and glareproximity to a local town where staff will be able to live both during construction and later during operationproximity to a electricity transmission line with available capacityavailability of water for mirror cleaning and steam blowdown.cost (and availability) of electricity in the area. If remote, electricity/energy may be very expensive, which will enable a high price for electricity sold from the plant.quality of road to the plant, required to bring equipment and materials to sitepolitical stability of the region -- potential impact on perceived bankability of the project.
Many of these items will have a large influence on the cost of the plant and/or the revenue it will generate during its life. Others relate to environmental and risk factors and are also critically important to consider.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
[Ne] 3s² 3p²
Explanation:
Silicon atoms have 14 electrons. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral silicon is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p².
Using noble gas shorthand, the electronic configuration is reduced to;
[Ne] 3s² 3p². Ne s the nearest noble gas to silicon, Ne contains 8 electrons, this means there's still 4 more electrons to fill. The s orrbital can only hold 2, hence the reaing two is transferred to the p orbital.
Idk but look it up on google
Answer: Matter is heated, and its particles spread out more
Explanation:
Thermal expansion occurs when there's an expansion of an object or material or when an object becomes bigger because of a rise in its temperature. This brings about the faster movement of the heated molecules and the atoms spreading out.
Therefore, the cause and effect of thermal expansion will be that when matter is heated, and its particles spread out more.
