Instructions for the report
A portion of the final mark will depend on the structure and layout of the final report. The report must be written in English and should be well structured (it is advised to use the different tasks, sections A – E, as the different sections for the report). The layout should be consequent throughout the report. The page limit of 20 pages includes everything (title page, table of contents, main content, bibliography) but appendices.
The following elements must be found in your report:
- names of team participants,
- a table of contents,
- a summary,
- a list of all references: you have to give references for all figures and facts (for example electricity prices and prices to build the turbines), definitions of all symbols introduced in the calculations, page numbers.
Check this list before you hand in your report to make sure that your report fulfil these requirements. Please note that the reports will be run through an anti-plagiarism tool that searches for matches between the reports and sources available on the internet.
