Resilient Fisherman's Bend (Technology Selection (:star: Apart from…
Resilient Fisherman's Bend
Site Context
:star: Quality of soil in FB is not ideal for geothermal energy generation
:pencil2: Don't do onsite geothermal because the cost to efficiency ratio is bad
:check: Geographical & Geological Due Diligence
Stakeholder
Stakeholders won't invest on mediocre onsite geothermal energy generation thereby removing investment risk
Public
Users won't shoulder the costs of this technology
Government bodies to conduct site audits and consultants
:star: FB elevation above sea level is only 1m
:pencil2: Construct reclaimed land around FB
:check:
Public
Makes FB more attractive for investors, more beaches
Stakeholders
Mitigates asset risk and flood potential
:star: Energy resources are low and unsuited for economic energy generation
:pencil2:Generate Energy offsite
:check:
Stakeholders
Mitigate risk of uneconomical and risky investments
Public
Lower cost
:pencil2: On-site Energy Generation
:check:
Creates a Resilient Energy Framework
Transitioning from major grid heavily reliant on coal to on-site scaleable natural gas plants
Aeroderivative Gas Turbines
Maintain major grid infrastructure for redundancy
Improve Zero Emissions Energy Mix
On-site Wind Solutions
PV & Solar Energy
Biofuel Energy
Uncertainty & Risk Mitigation
:star: In the rush to innovate, companies end up taking unnecessary risks. The proper channels for highlighting problems are not established, and a slippery slope occurs leading to a poor outcome.
:pencil2:Use social media such as Twitter to create a completely transparent, integrated space for project planning of Fisherman's Bend.
:star: Base infrastructure needs to be considered as it is the first point of failure.
:pencil2:Conduct rigorous checks on the network and grid around/leading into Fisherman's Bend, project future usage and gauge whether it can meet the energy needs
:check: Robust and Reliable Foundations
:star: The more diverse the range of generation sources is, the more reliable the system will be.
:pencil2:Power Fisherman's Bend with a large range of sources
:check:Improved power security and reliability for all tenants
Wind Farms
Waste to Energy
Shallow Geothermal
Solar farms
Residential Solar
Political
:star: There has been too much network/Infrastructure created with cost's affecting consumers disproportionally to suppliers, creating social energy inequalities
:pencil2: Utilise existing infrastructure and generate electricity offshore
:check:
Consumers
Lower's cost
:lock: Investigate financial policies that will be implemented up to 2050 (e.g who will pay? consumers, distributors, suppliers etc) :
Oppurtunities to gain "Large" asset development contracts in Victoria and Interstate. Jacob's field of expertise.
#
#
:star: People want a "Sexy" solution - Rohan Zauner, implying people will want to physically see the difference. Fisherman's bend has poor resources
:pencil2: Some 'visual' changes must be made to appease government/public. => Maximise PV use and battery architecture
#
:lock: Investigate future projections of battery storage, PPA and behind the meter generation
#
#
:star: Shock system overloads can be difficult to predict currently and can blackout areas due to plant fail safes.
:pencil2: Track user demand (smart meters etc)
:pencil2: Encourage collaboration with suppliers, users and distrubutors
:check:
More information, more effective implementation
Users
#
More energy security, better co-operation and beneficial to all parties
:lock: Contact major parties
City of Melbourne
Melbourne Uni
Public
CitiPower
Others
Flexible Planning
:star: Need to plan for drastic population growth
:pencil2: :lock: Decade-long plan for Population(2020-2030, 2030-2040, 2040-2050)
:check: Timely adjustment
:star: Energy structure
:pencil2:Adjust energy mix incrementally
Solar
:check:Major energy supply
Wind, geothermal, biomass, etc
:check:Diverse energy mix
Coal(Replace by rewnewable energy step by step)
:check:Zero emission
:star: Multi-function infrastructure
:check: Future proofing
Social
:star: Inertia: People are unwilling to change and want to be heard
:pencil2: Public forum and data transparency will increase trust into new improvements
:star: People want to give back to society, but not at their expense
:pencil2: Solar PV and managed residential "grid" energy and HVAC systems
:check:
Allows for a more efficient large scale solution
Reduces cost, allows user's to 'give back' to society
:lock: Research feed in tariffs, policy changes and local building permit approval process
#
Technology Selection
:star: Renewable energy is highly dependent on the weather and environment
:pencil2: Use a mix of different renewable energy sources
:check: The energy system in FB is more robust and resilient to power outages
:star: Space in FB is limited
:pencil2: Build scalable technologies such as wind farms offsite. Stakeholders like melbuni can sponsor these farms.
#
:check:
Stakeholders are in control of their own energy source
Solves the issue of limited space
:pencil2: Maximise onsite solar generation by mandating PV systems on all useable roof space
#
:
:check:
Users
Less grid dependence
Residents would be producing some of the electricity they use
:star: Technology is rapidly improving
:pencil2: Step-by-step implementation of technology for ongoing assessment of the solution
:check: Not lock in capital and resources in the technologies available now
