Australia's Electrical Energy Needs: Solar Energy Feasibility

This project is a comprehensive feasibility study that evaluates the potential of solar energy to meet the electrical energy needs of Australia. The study begins by exploring various types of solar energy, including photovoltaic and concentrating solar power technologies such as parabolic trough, solar power tower, enclosed trough, and dish stirling, along with their technical variances. It assesses the current state of solar energy in Australia, including its global ranking and the operational details of existing solar power plants like Griffith Solar Farm, Dubbo solar hub, and others. The methodology includes an analysis of feed-in tariffs and emerging technologies. The project delves into location requirements, cost estimations, strategic plans, and the benefits and barriers associated with solar energy implementation in Australia, offering valuable insights and recommendations for future development within the solar energy sector. The project concludes with a detailed analysis of the potential of solar energy in Australia and its viability in meeting the country's increasing energy demands.
