Case Study Data Minimize


Production Output


Home Energy Consumption Comparison


Return on Investment Analysis

Production Output

This data will present whether the generation facility is producing as it is designed to do so. In order to show this, graphs of daily and hourly demand outputs from the generation facility are to be developed.

This data on Production Output is on the SES gateway on MySource and is available to SES Partners. To become an SES parner, click here.

Home Energy Consumption Comparison

With the installation of a distributed generation facility, it is natural for the owner to reduce their electric usage within the domicile through energy use habit changes. Also SES granted facilities were required to have an energy audit performed at the domicile prior to the grant funding distribution which can alter energy use if advice was heeded. In order to show this phenomenon, graphs of daily, monthly and hourly energy net use and generated energy use is to be compared.

Return on Investment Analysis

As with any plant investment, the owner wants to ensure that they will see a return on that particular investment.  The Return on Investment analysis will show the financial feasibility of each of these SES granted installation sites.

AE 4.5 Wind 7.5 kW

This SES case study will focus on a 7.5 kW wind turbine system and will attempt to identify challenges and opportunities faced by both the consumer and the utility involved. The case study will provide information leading to understanding the current technologies, advances and/or challenges in technologies, standards, policies and additional costs. Not only will this SES case study evaluate information concerning the consumer, but also will look into the effects the wind turbine system may have on the utility involved.
