Scenario approach

After our meeting with Mr. Paatero we have now decided to continue the project with a scenario approach. We will work with three different scenarios. The scenarios will be called "Green", "Grid" and "Generator".

The "Green" scenario will consist of, as the name suggests, only renewable and clean energy resources. In this scenario we will try to design a energy system consisting of solar-, wind- and bioenergy. The "Grid" scenario will consist of wind- and bioenergy but also assuming that the village would be connected to the grid. The aim is produce as much as possible from the wind but complementing with electricity from the grid when the production from wind power drops. The "Generator" scenario will otherwise be like the "Grid" scenario but instead of complementing with electricity from the grid the village would have a diesel generator with an effect ranging between 100-150 kW.

All of the scenarios have their own pros and cons and we will try to indentify these and make some rough estimates of the total cost per kWh for the different scenarios.
