If we wanted to supply all the electricity needs for New York City (NYC), with a popula- tion of about 10 million people, using photovoltaics technology, how much land area would we need? What other elements would be required for such an idea to work for NYC? How large of an investment would this involve, and how would the price of electricity in ¢ per kWeh have to increase in order to recover that investment in 10 years at an interest rate of 8%? For comparison, the average New Yorker paid 12¢/kWeh in 2002.

1d) A house has an electric resistance heater with an efficiency of 95%. The house is in a cold climate with heating requirement of 120 million BTU/year and no need for air conditioning in the summer. If a 14 costs $10700, what heat pump with an HSPF is the payback time in years (2 significant digits) for the heating savings compared to keeping the current resistance heater assuming electricity costs of $0.12/kWh?
ter 2) i Saved versity campus has 200 classrooms and 400 faculty offices. The classrooms are equipped with 12 fluorescent tubes, each uming 110 W, including the electricity used by the ballasts. The faculty offices, on average, have half as many tubes. The us is open 240 days a year. The classrooms and faculty offices are not occupied for an average of 4 h a day, but the lights are on. If the unit cost of electricity is $0.175/kWh, determine how much the campus will save a year if the lights in the classrooms aculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods. lights in the classrooms and faculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods, the campus will save $ per yr. 2 (Chapte

How many Btu of heat can be produced by 4 kWh ofelectricity?
Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU: 1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu Oil BTU = 71512440 Btu The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu. Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…
