Residential Solar Energy Systems Power the Witchcliffe Eco-Village
Residential Solar energy systems do not need to be isolated systems providing power for one individual home. They are most effective when grouped to service a complete land development or sub-division. A prime example of this can be seen in a new eco-village development at Witchcliffe, near Margaret River, Western Australia.Sustainable Green Building DesignIf most Australians were aware of what was going to happen to planet earth this century, they would be lining up to buy a house and land package in an environmentally sustainable eco-village.Shaping such a development is not a simple task. A developer needs to be fully aware of how to design a sustainable residential subdivision and set guidelines that will work. Correct green building design must be incorporated into every unit. It is imperative that solid guidelines are attached to property developments to deliver outcomes that are a win for the residents, the community and the environment, by reducing energy and water and conserving the natural world.For a small developer, joining forces with a major real estate development company with high ethics is a smart move for all involved. In this case it gave the smaller developer of the project the financial clout it needed to succeed. Whilst so many dream, very few successfully act and deliver.Affordable HousingA developer needs to start by considering the needs and best interests of the community. In Margaret River, not everyone is a retired real estate agent or doctor, or has a large bank account. They may not be rich in financial resources but they are good, down-to-earth people who greatly appreciate nature and want to help co-exist with it.Unfortunately the huge explosion in the demand for large expensive houses by those mainly benefiting from the mining boom in Western Australia, has pushed up consumption, energy use and the sizes of houses.With building costs skyrocketing over the last few years, many people have had the dream of owning their own home all but destroyed. This particular developer in Margaret River decided from the beginning when buying the land, to not only to do something for the environment, but to also tackle the issue of affordability. By producing correctly designed, small blocks as part of a wider community, he has combined economies of scale and collective action, to reduce the costs of a house and land to within the reach of the average person in the region. At the same time it makes it attractive for similar people in the city to opt for an alternative style of living.His timing is impeccable. Energy use is set to increase by 50% world-wide thus compounding the greenhouse effect. It will also produce huge increases in energy prices in the next couple of decades, as all known sources of energy are depleted. The cost-effective residential solar energy systems used provide power for a groups of homes, not just single units.Alternative LifestyleWhat we now call an ‘alternative’ lifestyle may not be described this way for much longer. If the world keeps going the way it is, then we are going to need more of this style of living. The growth of energy use and the depletion of the world’s energy resources will ensure that conventional lifestyles will not be afforded by anyone except the wealthy and those lacking public consciousness.Healthy food and fresh clean water is the key to a healthy life and through cutting-edge water technology and productive landscaping, a well designed development such as this will deliver these precious commodities to all residents. Food and water bills will be kept to a minimum. This will be a great environment to bring up children and create a generation of socially and scientifically, sustainable people.Green by DesignThe developers also had the good sense to enlist an environmentalist and expert sustainable landscape designer and gardener, to ensure that the gardens and landscape are designed in detail to complement their vision for the estate.The vision for this eco-village is to create a world leading sustainable community in Witchcliffe. The village will comprise 180 strata titled home sites with an extensive range of on-site infrastructure and services to create a world-leading example of sustainable development that achieves: • 100% net power generation on site with Solar Pv and wind turbines,• 100% self-sufficiency in water through on-site rainwater harvesting,• 100% production of seasonal fresh produce on site,• Class A recycled water for household garden and toilets,• all homes to face expansive open space and community gardens,• high-efficiency, solar passive homes,• affordable house and land packages,• on-

Solar Thermal: Solar Thermal Energy $28.83 Chapters: Solar Thermal Energy. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 149. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Solar thermal energy (STE) is a technology for harnessing solar energy for thermal energy (heat). Solar thermal collectors are defined by the USA Energy Information Administration as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors. Low temperature collectors are flat plates generally used to heat swimming pools. Medium-temperature collectors are also usually flat plates but are used for creating hot water for residential and commercial use. High temperature collectors concentrate sunlight using mirrors or lenses and are generally used for electric power production. STE is different from photovoltaics, which convert solar energy directly into electricity. While only 600 megawatts of solar thermal power is up and running worldwide in October 2009 according to Dr David Mills of Ausra, another 400 megawatts is under construction and there are 14,000 megawatts of the more serious concentrating solar thermal (CST) projects being developed. Of the 21,000,000 square feet (2,000,000 m) of solar thermal collectors produced in the United States in 2006, 16,000,000 square feet (1,500,000 m) were of the low-temperature variety. Low-temperature collectors are generally installed to heat swimming pools, although they can also be used for space heating. Collectors can use air or water as the medium to transfer the heat to their destination. MIT’s Solar House #1 built in 1939 used seasonal thermal storage for year round heating.In the United States, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems account for over 25 percent (4.75 EJ) of the energy used in commercial buildings and nearly half (10.1 EJ) of the energy used in residential buildings.

Solar Photovoltaic Financing: Residential Sector Deployment $27.59 Original publisher: Golden, Colo.: National Renewable Energy Laboratory, 2009] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)318064046 Subject: Solar energy — United States — Finance. Excerpt: …The actual residential retail rate per kWh avoided by generating on-site power depends on the 4 location of the customer and possibly the season and time of day. As illustrated in Figure 2, the average price of retail electricity in the U.S. for residential consumers varies tremendously across the continental United States, ranging from $ 0.075 per kWh in West Virginia to $ 0.209 per kWh in Connecticut ( EIA 2009 ). Hawaii, with its dependence on petroleum for most of its electricity needs, has very expensive electricity with state residents paying approximately $ 0.36 per kWh for their power ( EIA 2009 ). Average Retail Price of Electricity National Average Residential Customers ( August 2008 ) ( Cents per Kilowatthour ) 12.1 / kWh 7.8 14.7 16.1 9.9 8.3 10.0 16.0 8.6 11.7 20.9 18.0 8.8 7.6 11.8 8.7 18.2 12.0 10.6 20.9 9.1 10.8 18.0 11.2 10.8 9.1 8.9 14.5 7.5 11.1 10.8 14.4 9.1 9.9 8.0 15.1 10.0 8.7 10.6 10.8 11.1 10.0 10.4 11.1 10.9 11.2 13.8 17.0 11.9 12.1 17 + 15.0-16.9 13.0-14.9 36.0 11.0-12.9 9.0-10.9 7.0-8.9 Source: EIA Electric Power Monthly – Table 5.6. A – Average Retail Price of Electricity to Ultimate Customers by End-User Sector, by State for August 2008 Figure 2. Average residential retail electricity price in August 2008 Source: EIA Electric Power Monthly – Table 5.6. A – Average Retail Price of Electricity to Ultimate Customers by End-User Sector, by State for August 2008 In economic terms, it is more cost effective for homeowners to offset expensive electricity than cheap electricity. For example, substituting one kWh of PV-generated electricity for one kWh of retail electricity that costs $ 0.25 is more valuable to the homeowner than using PV to offset electricity priced at $ 0.09 / kWh. Therefore, it stands to reason that the value of on-site electricity generation in … |

Electricity sector in Mexico $36 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The energy sector in Mexico has certain limitations in terms of private participation and foreign companies are allowed to operate in the country only through specific service contracts. As required by the Constitution, the electricity sector is federally owned, with the Federal Electricity Commission essentially controlling the whole sector. Attempts to reform the sector have traditionally faced strong political and social resistance in Mexico, where subsidies for residential consumers absorb substantial fiscal resources. The electricity sector in Mexico relies heavily on thermal sources, followed by hydropower generation. Although exploitation of solar, wind, and biomass resources has a large potential, geothermal energy is the only renewable source with a significant contribution to the energy mix. Expansion plans for the period 2006-2015 estimate the addition of some 14.8 GW of new generation capacity by the public sector, with a predominance of combined cycles. |

Energy Free: Homes for a Small Planet $25 2011 International Book Awards Award-Winning Finalist in the “Environment: Green/Alternative Energy/Conservation”Energy Free is designed to equip building professionals and homeowners alike with a toolkit for creating homes that use no more energy than they produce–this means homes that are free from the vagaries of energy-price fluctuations and that help to free society of the high political and environmental costs of fossil fuels.Individuals and institutions have been working toward “zero-energy” homes for decades. This volume is the first record of those collective efforts, distilling their experience into a practical and comprehensive how-to guide. The author includes resource information and step-by-step guidance on how to make decisions that will yield an energy-free residential project, whether a single-family home or multifamily building, new or existing, in an urban or a rural setting. The unique needs and opportunities of each context are addressed.The principal topics include:Project boundaries (why you have to consider not only your home’s behavior, but also your own)Prioritizing strategies (e.g., insulation vs. photovoltaics)Economics (including payback periods and incentives)How to minimize a building’s energy needsHow to minimize your energy needsHow to power the energy needs that remainThe critical role of integrated project planningEnergy Free offers a wide array of resource information, including detailed window and insulation comparisons; assessments of the relative contribution of different building elements; and overall performance. It draws on research and empirical data from myriad sources, including the Department of Energy’s Building America program; Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s House of the Future; Passiv Haus Institute in Europe and the Passive House Institute of the U.S.; Florida Solar Energy Center; Living |

Energy Harvesting: Solar, Wind, and Ocean Energy Conversion Systems $139.95 Also called energy scavenging, energy harvesting captures, stores, and uses “clean” energy sources by employing interfaces, storage devices, and other units. Unlike conventional electric power generation systems, renewable energy harvesting does not use fossil fuels and the generation units can be decentralized, thereby significantly reducing transmission and distribution losses. But advanced technical methods must be developed to increase the efficiency of devices in harvesting energy from environmentally friendly, “green” resources and converting them into electrical energy.Recognizing this need, Energy Harvesting: Solar, Wind, and Ocean Energy Conversion Systems describes various energy harvesting technologies, different topologies, and many types of power electronic interfaces for stand-alone utilization or grid connection of energy harvesting applications. Along with providing all the necessary concepts and theoretical background, the authors develop simulation models throughout the text to build a practical understanding of system analysis and modeling.With a focus on solar energy, the first chapter discusses the I−V characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) systems, PV models and equivalent circuits, sun tracking systems, maximum power point tracking systems, shading effects, and power electronic interfaces for grid-connected and stand-alone PV systems. It also presents sizing criteria for applications and modern solar energy applications, including residential, vehicular, naval, and space applications. The next chapter reviews different types of wind turbines and electrical machines as well as various power electronic interfaces. After explaining the energy generation technologies, optimal operation principles, and possible utilization techniques of ocean tidal energy harvesting, the book explores near- and offshore approaches for harvesting the kinetic and potential energy of ocean waves. It also describes the required |
