Project Title• Feasibility study for the installation of an Archimedes screw in Teviot River for the power supply of a nearby high school.Achievements• Literature review on Archimedes Screw and time series analysis.• Solicitation of companies in order to obtain river data and the school consumption.• Data Analysis and identification of the hydro scheme’s energy production scenarios and the corresponding high school electricity demand. • Study of the implementation of… Show more Project Title• Feasibility study for the installation of an Archimedes screw in Teviot River for the power supply of a nearby high school.Achievements• Literature review on Archimedes Screw and time series analysis.• Solicitation of companies in order to obtain river data and the school consumption.• Data Analysis and identification of the hydro scheme’s energy production scenarios and the corresponding high school electricity demand. • Study of the implementation of storage or export systems on the energy output of the project.• Financial Appraisal of the project (Discounted Payback Period and Net Present Value for different scenarios and discount rates)Results• A sustainable solution reducing the high school energy imports from the grid (41% of the electricity needs covered by the hydro scheme without storage nor export) • A risky investment due to the high CAPEX of the project and low incomes. Need for a grant such as the European Regional Development Fund to lower the risks.Technical Environment• Software : Spyder, Microsoft Excel, Jupyter Notebook• Language : PYTHONSupervisor: Andrew MAYBURY Show less
