Question

How many wind turbines are required to replace energy provide by a power plant on campus?Assume a wind turbine power rating of 3 MW, a capacity factor of 30%. (the power plant on campus provides around 25,000 MWh) How many of these wind turbines would be required to generate all of the energy (on-campus + utility)?The total electricity consumption on campus was around 200,000 MWh. Assume the same energy needs and transmission loss. I If utility carbon emissions for campus electricity are 1.38 lb CO2/kWh based on secondary power plant energy, how many tons/yr CO2 are avoided if the total campus electricity consumption in part 2 comes from wind power? Assume 5% transmission loss for the utility and all electricity comes from the utility.
