MILESTONE 2 (STAGE 3) – SELECTION OF TOP

OBJECTIVES FOR A TURBINE BLADE
4 Project-1
 Team Number: Mon-52

List the top three objectives of a turbine blade for your assigned engineering
scenario
1: Environmentally Friendly
2: Maximize Energy Output
3: Minimizing Cost

Include a rationale for selecting each of these objectives

→ Write maximum 100 words for each objective
Objective 1: Environmentally Friendly
Rationale: Sweden’s goal is reduced net greenhouse gases to zero this means reducing the
carbon footprint required to build and maintain the blade so it is still able to be produced in
the future without the production process leaving a substantial carbon footprint. Using
methods and materials that reduce the reduce the carbon footprint require to build the
blade.

Objective 2: Maximize Energy Output

Rationale: The wind turbine is required to produce large amounts of energy to provide power
to multiple cities in Sweden. In order to increase energy output, the length of the turbine
blade must be longer so the swept area of the is increased. This allows for the blades to
extract more energy from the wind, producing more power.

Objective 3: Minimizing Cost

Rationale: One of the goals of the wind turbine is to create a sustainable structure that will
minimize cost in the long term. The wind turbine blade should be made of high quality and
long-lasting materials in order to reduce the cost of maintenance after the structure is built.

MILESTONE 2 (STAGE 4) – METRICS
Team Number: Mon-52

For your selected top three objectives fill out the table below with associated metrics (including
units) for each objective.
Objective 1: Environmentally friendly

Unit/Metric: Metric: The six types of greenhouse gases in kg to measure the size of
carbon footprint required to build turbine blade. The bigger the number
the bigger the footprint.

• Range of 0% (Worst), to 100% (Best)

Units: CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) kg.

• 0-250 CO2e kg: 100%

• 251-1000 CO2e kg: 75%
• 1001-5000 CO2e kg: 50%
• 5001- 15 000 CO2e kg:25%
• >15 000 CO2e kg: 0%

Objective 2: Maximize Energy Output

Unit/Metric: Metric: Estimate the power wind turbine produce, the greater the power,
the more energy is output.

• Range of 0% (Worst), to 100% (Best)

Units: Million watts (MW)/year
• >6 MW/year: 100%
• 6 MW-5MW: 75%

6 Project-1
 • 5MW-3MW: 50%
• 3MW-2MW: 25%
• <2MW:0%

Objective 3: Minimize Cost

Unit/Metric: Metric: The estimated cost to build one turbine blade.

• Range of 0% (Worst), to 100% (Best)

Units: Canadian Dollars ($)
• <$200 000: 100%
• $200 001–$225 000: 75%
• $225 001-$250 000: 50%
• $250 001-$300 000: 25%
• >$300 000: 0%
