As a WPI student, one of the graduation qualifications is the completion of an Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP). For my IQP, I was located in Copenhagen, Denmark for 8 weeks working on a team of four with other WPI students. Our goal was to develop a solar farm feasibility study for the island of Langeland, Denmark. We worked in collaboration with LAUTEC, a global renewable energy consulting and IT solution company.

Abstract: In the transition to renewable energy, Denmark has relied on wind power. However, to achieve its goal of fossil fuel independence by 2050, Denmark needs to diversify its renewable energy sources. To aid in Denmark's transition, this project created a feasibility study for a solar photovoltaic farm on the Danish island of Langeland. We used prior feasibility studies to understand the development of a solar farm. From this background, the team used manufacturer quotes and site specific information including government regulations and environmental data to create a feasibility study, Python toolkit, and biodiversity plan for a solar farm on Langeland. Based on these deliverables the team recommended next steps to continue planning and development. LAUTEC sponsored this project.
