(4 Marks) (a) Explain what an energy storage system is and why it is important to be integrated with renewable energy and not with non-renewable energy. (6 Marks) (b) A new power plant based on waste mix will be developed at Kampung Pasir, Skudai to supply approximately 850kWh per person annually. Assuming the daily total weight of the waste mix is 250kg, comprises 20% of paper, 45% of PVC, 10% of medical waste, 15% of bottle glasses and 10% of aluminum metal sheets. The heat rate of this plant is 35MJ/kWh. i. Determine the amount of power produced from this plant annually. (10 Marks) ii. Using the answer in (i), estimate how many people in Kampung Pasir can be served annually? (4 Marks) (a) State four examples of Renewable Energy and describe how each renewable energy can be harvested and converted to generate electricity. (8 Marks) (b) As an engineer who has a background in energy conversion technology; propose at least three types of renewable energy resources besides Hydropower and Biomass that are suitable to be tapped into the grid system in Malaysia. Justify your answers. (7 Marks) (a) Discuss the comparison and similarities between Solid Biomass and Waste-to-Energy technologies. (5 Marks) (b) A residential home was installed with a wind turbine and solar panel for electricity generation through renewable energy resources. By using the specification details in Figures 1 and 2 of the wind turbine and solar panel, calculate the total power produced from both renewable energy sources. (6 Marks) Specifications: Blade length =150cm Maximum wind speed =8ms1 Coefficient performance =0.35 Figure 1: Wind Turbine specifications
