Energy Studies – Assignment 2:
An isolated island far from the mainland is looking at switching to a renewable electricity generation. Resource data for Wind (onshore and offshore), Solar and the load profile for the island are provided in the file “Resources.xls” on Vision. The island also appreciates significant elevation difference and many plateaus across its surface (elevation map of island on Vision).
Based on this data,
1. Try to find a configuration of renewable generation technologies (wind, wind and solar, solar only, hydro, biomass,) that provides electricity for the island based only on the yearly consumption.
[10 marks]
2. Make a detailed analysis of the load profile. Does the electricity configuration of your results from question 1 still give a stable power supply?
To answer this question, look at:
• The seasonal variation (winter and summer) in your electricity generation; What is the seasonal variation (winter and summer) in your load data?
• Does your configuration provide enough electricity during both winter (December to March) and summer (June to September) months?
• The days with the highest and the lowest demand in the year, respectively, to test your system.
Your system should provide enough electricity for every hour throughout the year; For a stable grid you need to cover both periods of surplus when you generate too much electricity (where does it go?) as well as cover for periods where you do not generate enough electricity (should people sit in the dark of can you provide an alternative?).
[25 marks]
3. Suggest a solution for a stable power supply on your island. This includes electricity generation, energy storage and supporting demand management measures.
• Choose an appropriate configuration for electricity generation.
[30 marks]
• Chose the most appropriate energy storage technology four your grid and justify your choice
[15 marks]
• What size do you need for your Energy Storage to have a stable grid?
[15 marks]

Proper Referencing will be marked as well!
[5 marks]

The assignment is an individual assignment.

NOTE:
You need to provide references in the body of your work. References have to be used whenever you quote facts and/or figures that are not general knowledge, in each section of your paper/report (including introduction). References MUST have corresponding notes (depending on the reference style you have chosen) in the text. A simple bibliography at the end of the article is not sufficient.
The same holds for figures: each figure MUST have a number (and be referred to in the text), a figure caption that describes it and a reference to the source you have taken it from (except, of course, if you gathered the data and made the graph yourself).

Consider the connection between critical thinking, nursing practice, and scholarship.

Post your observations on how critical thinking is used in clinical practice (provide examples); how you employ critical thinking strategies to improve clinical competence; and your thoughts on the connections between critical thinking, scholarship, and practice.

Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the Six Aims for Improvement presented in the landmark report “Crossing the Quality Chasm: The IOM Health Care Quality Initiative.”
Consider these six aims with regard to your current organization, or one with which you are familiar. In what areas have you seen improvement? What areas still present challenges? As a nurse leader, how can you contribute to improving the organization’s achievement of these aims?
Select one specific quality or safety issue that is presenting a challenge in the organization. Consider at least one quality improvement strategy that could be used to address the issue, as well as which of the six aims for improvement would then be addressed.
Reflect on your professional practice and your experiences with inter-professional collaboration to improve quality and safety. How has inter-professional collaboration contributed to your organization’s efforts to realize the IOM’s six aims for improving health care? Where has inter-professional collaboration been lacking?

Post a description of the quality or safety issue you selected and a brief summary of the impact that this issue has on health care delivery. Describe at least one quality improvement strategy used to address this issue. Then explain which of the six “aims for improvement” are addressed by the strategy. Finally, explain how inter-professional collaboration helps improve quality in this area.
