$1$ PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project aims to design, plan, and implement a small$-$scale wind turbine to provide

renewable energy for a local community. The project will integrate ethical considerations,

legislation, market analysis, risk management, and environmental assessment.

$2$ PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Ethics and Legislation:

Analyse and ensure compliance with the Engineering Profession Act $46$ of $2000.$

Adhere to ethical standards in the design and implementation phases.

Ensure the project complies with the Occupational Health and Safety Act $85$ of

Responsible Planning:

Conduct a market analysis to understand the demand and feasibility of small$-$

scale wind turbines in the local community.

Assess market risks and potential challenges in manufacturing and deploying the

turbine.

Develop a financial plan to address project and business finance hurdles

Utilize Gantt charts to create a detailed project timeline, from design to

implementation.

Responsible Implementation:

Implement a comprehensive risk management plan to identify and mitigate

potential project risks.

Perform an environmental assessment to understand the impact of the wind

turbine and create an environmental improvement plan.

$3$ METHODOLOGY

Literature Review:

Study existing literature on small$-$scale wind turbines, engineering ethics,

relevant legislation, and environmental impacts.

Market Analysis:

Conduct surveys and or interviews with community members and potential

stakeholders to assess demand and feasibility.

Analyse market risks and financial considerations.

Design and Planning:

EIS$4801$: ENGINEER IN SOCIETY

Create detailed design specifications for the wind turbine and run simulations of

the mechanical system, ensuring all ethical, legal, and environmental

considerations are integrated.

Develop a Gantt chart to plan project milestones and deliverables.

Implementation:

Implement the risk management and environmental improvement plans.

Evaluation:

Assess the design through peer reviews.

Evaluate the project's success based on predefined metrics and community

feedback.

Documentation and Presentation:

Compile a comprehensive project report covering all aspects of the project.

Present findings and complete the manuscript using the supplied template.
