  1. Berrin Tansel, Ph.D., P.E.Florida International University Closed Landfills as Power Parks: Technical and Economic Feasibility of Solar Energy Harvesting at Florida’s Closed Landfills Project Update 1: Nov 1, 2009

  2. Objectives • Evaluate suitability of Florida’s landfills for installation of solar energy harvesting • Analyze site conditions and energy yield • Conduct feasibility analysis from technical, economic, and environmental perspectives • Evaluate site conditions and maintenance requirements for sustainable energy generation

  3. Focus In-depth analyses to answer the following questions: • How much powercan be generated if closed landfills are used as solar power parks in Florida? • What are the costs and benefits of using Florida’s closed landfills as power parks?

  4. FIU Project Team Dr. Berrin Tansel, Praveenkuma Varala, Victo Londono, Shiva Dutt Jangampeta

  5. Energy Output Onsite energy yield Ideal shape and PV Configuration Landfill site simulations Solar Radiation data Statistical analysis Landfill site characteristics PV efficiency and configurations Technical Feasibility of Solar Energy Harvesting at Florida’s Closed Landfills flow diagram chart
