This is not a summary or review of someone else’s case study; it should be your own analysis of an energy problem and creation of a model. It can be an original issue or an expansion of a published case study.

15 pages and include separate sections on (a) literature review (preferably with 10 citations to relevant literature) and (b) calculations (implementing or improving a version of the model you have read).
The energy application area you are interested in and need to create a model for. (The model may be highly simplified for practical solutions).
The literature review should be thoughtful and comprehensive, not just a random set of note cards; that is, the literature survey should yield some conclusions about the That is, the literature survey should yield some conclusions about the state of the art and the need for further work. The focus of the literature survey is The survey should focus on the application area in which your case study is located. All references in the reference list should
also be explicitly cited and discussed in the body of the report. You need to personally visit and read at least a portion of each reference cited.
In your computational case study, you must make all calculations explicit so that I can replicate them and document your assumptions (perhaps in an appendix). This case study should be more complex than a typical homework problem. You can use the data from the actual application, although it would be better to extend the model in some way (with some actual or hypothetical data that you made up). You must do your own calculations; do not just copy the calculations from a case study in the literature. It is better to do your own thinking (identify your own problems, not just modify someone else’s case study to provide numbers). If you build on someone else’s study, it is best to use your creativity to extend it in some way, add other system features, do additional sensitivity analysis, etc. If you base your calculations on someone else’s case study, you should clearly state
If your calculations are based on someone else’s case study, you should clearly indicate which numerical assumptions are your original ideas and which are simply reproduced from the published case study.
Format: double-spaced, 12-point font (Times New Roman) or 10-point font (Arial), 1-inch margins. The report should reflect professionalism in formatting and writing. The outline should include: abstract, problem introduction, literature survey, model notation and formulation, model parameterization, results, discussion (including how to improve the model), references, and any appendices.
