__________________________________________ Estimate for Building on 300 Miles of Roads in JamaicaInterstate Traveler estimated cost Estimated cost to integrate on 300 Miles of Road (482.79 Kilometers) Estimated Solar Grid on 300 Miles of Road Estimated Photo Voltaic Performance Estimated Total Solar Grid Performance on 300 Miles of Rail per hour: Net Energy Production Estimated Annual Energy Production for 300 Miles of
rail (8 hours / day *365) System would support a starting number of 900 Transports (3 every 1 Mile) at 80 passengers each for a simultaneous passenger capacity of 72,000 pedestrians. Estimated Revenue on Transit fee of $0.05/minute/person >>> 72,000 * .05 = $3,600/minute or $216,000.00 / hour during rush hour. __________________________________________ 6/6/2001 - Latest Jamaican PresenationLink for the Kingston to Montego Bay Presentation - June 2011 __________________________________________ 3/28/2011 Presentation to Jamaican Ministry of Rail RoadsLink to PowerPoint 'Show' Format Presenation Link to PowerPoint pptx format __________________________________________ Kingston Metropolitan Region - 5 Phase DevelopmentKingston.Metropolitan.Region.Presentation Kingston.Metro.Region.Pres.PDF Montego Bay to FalmouthRegions/Caribbean/Jamaica/MontegoBayToFalmouth.pdf __________________________________________ Base Estimates on Aluminum ProductionA standard mile of rail should produce an estimated watts/ hour during peak solar exposure 5280ft*16ft=84,480sqft * 20watts = 1,689,600 watts/hour/mile or ~ 1.7 Megawatts/hour/mile About 6.2 kWH (kilowatt hours) of electricity is required to produce one pound of aluminum from alumina. (source: http://www.rocksandminerals.com/aluminum/process.htm ) If 100% Power from Rail is dedicated to production of Aluminum from Alumina
the following estimated projected figures may apply: If we consider the energy production of a 100 mile system to be 170 Megawatts/hour. We can then consider the dedication of 10% of the energy to Bauxite production for a total of 17 Megawatts/hour. Further, if we consider a maxium solar day of eight hours, then there is a maximum of 136 Megawatts / Day available for production of Aluminum. Therefor we can consider the following equation for daily production capacity of Aluminum: 136,000 KwH / 6.2 KwH = 21,935 Lbs of Aluminum / day. Current commodity prices for Aluminum is about $1.00USD/Lb, therefore the daily Aluminum production rate estimated above equates to $21,935.00 / Day * 365 = $8,006,265.00 / year Bauxite Research References: |
