ENEM012 Assignment -2
1GW off grid Agri-Solar Farm for Hydrogen Powered FCEVehicle (HPFCEV) Charging Station
AHEP4 learning outcomes assessed:
M6 & M6-FL: Apply an integrated or system approach to the solution of complex problems
M16 & M16-FL: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance
Submission format: Electronic, via ELE
Feedback will be written feedback for each individual group submission, within three weeks of submission. There will be group marking and final marking of each group member will depends on the peer assessment score.
This assignment is worth 60% of the overall module mark.
Assignment guidance
• You should produce an academic journal type report to build a 1GW off grid solar farm (Agri-PV) in a given location for Hydrogen Powered Vehicle charging station. The report should be minimum of 4,000 words and maximum 6,000/7000 words equivalent.
• PV should be bifacial PV type (could be silicon, thin film type)
• Should have clear method and results for APV, number of hydrogen vehicles is possible to charge based on particular type of charging pattern.
• Charging pattern is similar to refuelling of hydrogen vehicle from hydrogen gas station
• This will be group work and later each individual will score each of their group member. Group score will then change based on the peer assessment score hence each individual will have different score than the group score.
Assignment details
Content:
The main aim of the report is to design minimum of 1 GW (maximum can be anything) off grid Agri-solar farm, and analyse the number of hydrogen vehicles will be charged from this farm. The specific objectives are as follows
1. Power generation from Agri-Solar farm for a particular location (you can use PVSYST for this or any software from where you can generate PV power for a particular location )
2. You need crop model tool. Some tools for crop model [APSIM, APEX (Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender), CROPWAT 8.0, CLIMWAT, DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer), GroIMP (Growth Grammar related Interactive Modeling Platform), STICS (Simulateur mulTI-disciplinaire pour lesCultures Standard)]
3. Logical reason behind the selection of the location and type of PV systems
4. Find at least 6 hydrogen vehicles charging pattern (demographic variability will be appreciated) e.g petrol station, and other 5 types from different region.
5. Find out how many hydrogen-powered vehicle can be charged from this 1GW or more Agri-solar farm for that particular location employing different Hydrogen powered FCEV charging pattern
6. Essential elements are LCOE, LCOA, LCOH, LER however other elements are also important but these four must be present.
Report writing details:
• STRUCTURE: there is no prescribed structure for the report but you should ensure a logical flow of information
• Word LIMIT: minimum 4000 words and maximum 6000/7000 words with margins of 2.54 cm on the left, right, top, bottom
• FONT: font for the main body of the report should be size 11 and font Times New Roman
• LINE SPACING: no less than 1.15 line spacing for the main body of the report
• TABLES AND FIGURES: you are encouraged to use tables and figures where appropriate. Make sure you label them properly and refer to them in the text.
• REFERENCES: you should consider citing academic papers, technical reports and other relevant documents to strengthen your analysis. Make sure you properly reference any material cited (including tables and figures if you didn’t make them yourself) to avoid plagiarism! Use a consistent reference style of your choice.
• SUBMISSION: electronic submission to both E-BART and turnitin. Deadline for submission is midday (12:00) 28th March 2025
