3 VA Electricity Prices The average homeowner in Virginia pays $130 every month and this price continues to increase. [1] Virginia homeowners pay 14% more than the national average. The variance in monthly bills is about $54, causing an uncertainty for homeowners. [1] This variance can be reduced by supplementing energy generated by wind turbines 3

4 Virginia Electricity Price Variability Variable Weather Stable Weather 4

5 Wind vs Solar Ability to generate energy when direct sunlight is not available. Round the clock energy generation Can be installed above or around obstructions Residential wind turbines offer the ability to save money, decrease pollution and to increase the use of alternate renewable sources. Energy Source Rate of Power Generation Time period of power generation Power Output Solar Panels Wind Turbine 2 kw 2 kw Average over 12 hours [2] Average over 24 hours 9.22 kwh 12.24kWh 5

6 Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) Direct Industry Propulsion generated through lift [3] Wind Turbine Design Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) quietrevolution Propulsion generated through drag [4] 6

9 Problem Statement Residential electricity costs are continuously increasing. There exists a variability in the monthly utility bills because of high peaks of demand of electricity during the summer and winter months with a variance cost of $54. According to Energy Information Administration (EIA) prices will increase by 18% in the next 23 years. [7] The use of fossil fuels which include coal, natural gas and nuclear energy cause climate change. An alternative method of generating energy is through renewable sources (e.g. wind). Currently, the residential wind turbine technology market is developing and has improved throughout the years. [7] 9

10 Need Statement Reduce cost and variability of utility bills for residential owners. Protect the environment by utilizing alternate renewable sources of energy to further reduce the carbon footprint. Take advantage of microclimate fixed locations with potential wind power and exploit Venturi effect, if present. Taking these factors into consideration, a set of best turbine configurations (based on cost & power output) will be recommended to homeowners in order to install at that specific location. 10

30 #3 Power Model Definition: The Venturi effect, published in 1797 by Giovanni Venturi As the fluid flows through the constriction, the fluid molecules speed up. sciphile.org Why is it important? The force of funneling wind between two objects causings and increase in the wind's velocity therefore generating more energy. Image source: sciphile.org/ [10] We will be looking to exploit this effect to produce higher outputs of energy Propertycasualty360.com [11] 30

49 Business Plan No system exists that uses micro-climate data to make decisions on the best turbine for a specific location. Customers include green builders and members and business owners located in residential areas who have an invested interest in renewable technologies. Users will access the system through the company s website. Upon completion of the required information for the RWTDDSS, users will receive their Optimal Wind Turbine Package. Package consists of: Expected Annual Wind Profile List of Existing turbines that with design characteristics(swept area, coefficient of power, cut-in speed) that will capture the the greatest amount of wind energy available Each turbine will have total cost installed, expected annual power output and financial breakdown of savings per year and expected break-even point 49

50 Business Model The method of profit will be through commission on the sale of the wind turbines in the Wind Turbine Inventory. In addition the system will be paired with green builders in the Mid-Atlantic region to offer a one stop solution for both purchase and installation. Green builders have built tens of thousands homes in the past ten years in the Mid-Atlantic. Wind turbine manufactures will be allowed to have their wind turbines as part of the inventory of the RWTDDSS with the agreement that 10% of sales through the system will be kept by the RWTDDSS Company. Wind turbine manufacturers will save money and generate an increase in revenue by using the RWTDDSS by eliminating need for person to be paid for on-site surveys. An increase in revenue will be seen through growth in a market that is currently not be exploited on a large scale. NREL estimates that by 2020 that small wind turbines have the potential to contribute to 8% of the U.S. electrical demand. 50
