Power Generation CEP: Generating Station Design

Generating station costing and design for load profiles of 10 real-world load profiles.

Prepared as a Complex Engineering Problem (CEP)-based end-of-semester project for EE-411 Power Generation (Fall 2019) as part of BE-Electrical Engineering at NEDUET.

Deliverables

MATLAB GUI Application

A GUI application for the technical and economic analysis of 10 real-world load profiles. Built with MATLAB App Designer R2014b.
Loads and plots data for 10, real-world daily load profiles.
Provides descriptions, reference to source of data, and recommendations to improve load factor for each load profile.
Allows user to calculate
- Technical Metrics: load factor, maximum load, base load, average load, units consumed.
- Economic Metrics: Overall cost per unit generated (two-part or three-part)
Also allows user to compare all load profiles in terms of both load factor and cost.
Launches 3D models of proposed generating station designs deployed on Sketchfab.

Proposed Generating Station 3D Models

Designed in Blender.
Deployed on Sketchfab for platform-independent online viewing.
Proposed designs are
- Nuclear Power Station Design
- Diesel Power Station Design
Designs account for
- generator dimensions and spacing requirements according to NEC and CAT standards.
- transmission yard and relevant equipment.
- fuel transportation and storage requirements.
- heat rejection and exhaust systems.
