"Shading modeling using LIDAR/ GIS for the purpose of greening the city grid of Kingston, ON, Canada"

The following outline is going to be updated so as to suit the title.

Chapter 1

What is a distributed energy system? Benefits of such a system for cities in Canada (drawn from as many available and applicable locations as possible e.g. a city in Ontario vs. a First Nation community in Nunavut)

Chapter 2

Background in solar energy measurement Solar energy potential for Southeastern Ontario

Chapter 3

Background on integrating PV in urban area

Ruther et al (2004): Potential of building integrated photovoltaics solar energy generators in assisting daytime peaking feeders in urban areas in Brazil

Castro et al (2004): Grid-connected PV buildings: analysis of future scenarios with an example of Southern Spain

Rae et al (1999): Estimating the uptake of distributed energy in an urban setting

Denholm and Margolis (2008): Land use requirements and the per capita solar footprint for PV generation in the US

Levinson and Gupta (2008): Estimating solar access of typical residential rooftops: A case study in San Jose, CA

Ayoub, Dignard-Bailey and Fillion (2000): Photovoltaics for buildings: Opportunities for Canada

Pelland and Poisson (2008): An Evaluation of the Potential of Building Integrated Photovoltaics in Canada

Suzuki, Ito and Kurosawa (2007): An analysis of PV resource in residential areas by means of aerial photo images

Chapter 4

Solar energy potential for buidings (owned by the city of Kingston - part I of the internship and extrapolated from Lindsay's paper from the summer of 2009)

Chapter 5

Integration of solar energy into the city grid (essentially part II of the internship)

Chapter 6

The economic and social dimension of the project The degree of decentralization afforded by the city grid

Chapter 7

If combined with ground mounted PV, what is the per capita solar footprint for Kingston/ Southern Ontario? How does this project improve the sustainability of the city Lessons/ experience for other cities in Ontario/ Canada
