Assignment No. 2 (Group basis)
Assignment Title: Energy Technology Analysis
Assignment Description:
In this group assignment, you will collaboratively analyze a table of technical features and application
examples of various energy technologies. The objective is to gain a comprehensive understanding of
these technologies and present your findings in the form of a 2-to-3-page document. The Table
presented in Slide No. 20 of Lecture 6 has been used to select ONE Energy Storage Technology and TWO
application area for each group. The details of assigning energy technology topic are given in Annex – A.
Assignment Objectives:
a. To conduct in-depth research study on a range of energy technologies.
b. To explore the applications of these technologies in various settings.
c. To analyze technical features such as rating characteristics, dynamics, space requirements and
performance etc.,
d. To present findings in a clear and informative manner.
Group Structure:
Each group will comprise of four student members and each member will have a specific role within the
team. All the student members of each group shall distribute these roles among themselves through
consultation and consensus. (The formation of groups shall be finalized during the upcoming ESS class).
These roles are defined as follows:
1. Technology Research Specialist (TRS):
In this role, the selected group member will be responsible for researching specific energy
technologies, gathering technical data, and analyzing efficiency, cost, and environmental impact.
2. Application Expert (AE):
In this role, the selected group member will Focus on the selected applications of energy
technologies, researching where and how these technologies are utilized in residential,
industrial, transportation, and grid settings.
3. Data Analyst (DA):
In this role, the selected group member will manage data collection and analysis, organizes
technical features data, and create visual representations of the data.
4. Presentation and Synthesis (PS):
In this role, the group member will compile research and data from TRS, AE, and DA, and
prepares the final document. The PS shall be responsible to submit the final Assignment
document on behalf of the group in hard copy and soft copy (via Canvas) on or before the
deadline.
Assignment Tasks:
i.
Research your assigned energy technologies and application area with reference to the technical
features mentioned against each technology in the Table shown in Annex – A.
Additional Tables from Slide 25 of Lecture 1 and Slide 4 of Lecture 2 have been included in
Annex – B for reference and consultation during working on group assignment tasks.
ii.
Analyze data and extract key technical features.
iii.
Identify relevant case studies in the assigned application area from credible online resources
and highlight various technical features specified for each technology mentioned in the Table in
Annex A.
iv.
Collaborate with other group members to integrate your findings.
v.
Prepare a presentation document and submit on behalf of all the group members in both hard
copy and soft copy via Canvas for the evaluation.
Criteria for Assessment:
Your group assignment will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
1. Research and Data Analysis (30 points):
The depth and accuracy of technical data and features for the technologies or applications
you researched.
2. Application Understanding (20 points):
Your grasp of how these technologies is applied in different contexts, including relevant case
studies.
3. Data Presentation (20 points):
The quality and clarity of visual representations (graphs, charts, etc.) to communicate
technical features.
4. Synthesis and Presentation (30 points):
The ability to synthesize research from various group members and present findings
cohesively.
Rubrics:
• Each criterion will be scored on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest score:
• 0-3 points: Insufficient
• 4-6 points: Satisfactory
• 7-8 points: Good
• 9-10 points: Excellent
Assessment Guidelines:
• The assessment should be based on each member’s contributions to the group project,
including collaboration and task completion.
• Each group will also provide anonymous peer assessments, which will be factored into the
individual grades.
• The format of anonymous peer assessments shall be based on a survey which will be designed
and uploaded by the Instructor in due course.
• Note: Collaboration, participation, and adherence to deadlines are essential aspects of this
assignment and will be considered in the evaluation. Each group should ensure fairness and
transparency in the peer assessment process. The evaluation process will be based on the
following:
• The Instructor evaluation score (I) based on defined criteria and rubrics.
• Peer Assessment score through survey (P).
• Total score: I + P
