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
Objectives
1. Evaluate suitability of Florida’s landfills for installation of solar energy harvesting
2. Analyze site conditions and energy yield
3. Conduct feasibility analysis from technical, economic, and environmental perspectives
4. Evaluate site conditions and maintenance requirements for sustainable energy generation
FocusIn-depth analyses to answer the
following questions:
• How much power can 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?
