A regional energy commission classifies proposed energy generation projects into four regulatory permitting tiers based on two quantitative metrics: Peak Capacity (in megawatts, $\text{MW}$ ) and Sanctuary Proximity (distance in kilometers, $\text{km}$ , from a protected wildlife reserve).

The classification criteria are specified as follows:
- Tier 1 (Comprehensive Review): Peak Capacity $> 50\text{ MW}$ AND Sanctuary Proximity $< 10\text{ km}$
- Tier 2 (Grid Impact Priority): Peak Capacity $> 50\text{ MW}$ AND Sanctuary Proximity $\ge 10\text{ km}$
- Tier 3 (Environmental Mitigation Priority): Peak Capacity $\le 50\text{ MW}$ AND Sanctuary Proximity $< 10\text{ km}$
- Tier 4 (Fast-Track Permitting): Peak Capacity $\le 50\text{ MW}$ AND Sanctuary Proximity $\ge 10\text{ km}$

Based on the rules provided above, match each project proposal to its designated regulatory permitting tier.

Project Alpha: Peak Capacity = $75\text{ MW}$ , Sanctuary Proximity = $6\text{ km}$ Tier 1 (Comprehensive Review)
Project Beta: Peak Capacity = $60\text{ MW}$ , Sanctuary Proximity = $18\text{ km}$ Tier 2 (Grid Impact Priority)
Project Gamma: Peak Capacity = $35\text{ MW}$ , Sanctuary Proximity = $4\text{ km}$ Tier 3 (Environmental Mitigation Priority)
Project Delta: Peak Capacity = $40\text{ MW}$ , Sanctuary Proximity = $25\text{ km}$ Tier 4 (Fast-Track Permitting)

Cevap

Project Alpha matches Tier 1 (Comprehensive Review), Project Beta matches Tier 2 (Grid Impact Priority), Project Gamma matches Tier 3 (Environmental Mitigation Priority), and Project Delta matches Tier 4 (Fast-Track Permitting).

Each project is mapped to the permitting tier whose dual constraints for Peak Capacity and Sanctuary Proximity are both satisfied.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Evaluate Project Alpha metrics against the tier criteria.

Peak Capacity is

75\text{ MW} > 50\text{ MW}

and Sanctuary Proximity is

6\text{ km} < 10\text{ km}

. This matches Tier 1.

Both conditions for Tier 1 (High capacity and high environmental sensitivity) are satisfied.

Evaluate Project Beta metrics against the tier criteria.

Peak Capacity is

60\text{ MW} > 50\text{ MW}

and Sanctuary Proximity is

18\text{ km} \ge 10\text{ km}

. This matches Tier 2.

High capacity with lower environmental sensitivity places the project into Tier 2.

Evaluate Project Gamma metrics against the tier criteria.

Peak Capacity is

35\text{ MW} \le 50\text{ MW}

and Sanctuary Proximity is

4\text{ km} < 10\text{ km}

. This matches Tier 3.

Standard capacity combined with high environmental sensitivity requires Tier 3 mitigation.

Evaluate Project Delta metrics against the tier criteria.

Peak Capacity is

40\text{ MW} \le 50\text{ MW}

and Sanctuary Proximity is

25\text{ km} \ge 10\text{ km}

. This matches Tier 4.

Standard capacity and low environmental sensitivity qualify for Tier 4 fast-track permitting.
