Study of Suitable Renewable Energy Sources for Auckland's Schools, New Zealand

Abstract: The use of Solar Panel for Auckland’s Schools was a point of discussion between the Capital Works team and their higher management. A detailed study explored the feasibility of using Renewable Energy Sources in Auckland’s School and weather other methods could be presented to reduce the cost and improve the Environmental parameters, Solar and Wind Energy were examined in addition to some other smart controlling system. Utilizing the latest meteorological parameter with Solar and Wind Energy applicable practices supported by technical and commercial product to estimate costs and performances. It was found that due to the operational conditions of Schools, the average radiation rate and wind speed of Auckland city, using a Solar System will provide only 23% of the schools needs combining wind Turbines with Solar Panels would improve the rate to maximum of 40%. The study also examined the saving could be achieved using Smart Monitoring and Controlling System and found that there is no remarkable impact on Environment. The research suggests that other Renewable Energy Sources available in New Zealand such as Geothermal applications and Green Hydrogen might be more environmentally and economically effective. The research provides an insight for the use of Solar/Wind Energy applications in managing Auckland School Energy Consumption considering real time weather conditions and schools’ demands.
