This increases the temperature of the fluid to some 400 °C.[7] The heat transfer fluid is then used to generate high pressure water steam used for a standard turbine powering an electrical generator. The process is economical and thermal efficiency ranges 60-80%. Using the desert's solar thermal energy, the facility generates steam in steam generators, which expands through a steam turbine making a generator to produce electrical energy from twin, independently operable solar fields, each feeding a 125 MW power island.

ABSTRACT The utility solar power plants were reviewed and classified by two basic groups: direct thermal concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV). CSP as Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) of 100 MW solar power plants (SPP) is suggested and suitable to provide solar thermal power for Qatar. Although, LFC had enough experience for small pro- jects, it is still need to work in large scale plant such as 100 MW and couple with multi effect distillation (MED) to con- firm costs.

Abstract Solar thermal concentrating solar power (CSP) plants, because of their capacity for large‐ scale generation of electricity and the possible integration of thermal storage devices and hybridization with backup fossil fuels, are meant to supply a significant part of the demand in countries of the solar belt. Nowadays, the market penetration of solar thermal electricity is steeply increasing, with commercial projects in Spain, USA, and other countries, being the most promising technology to follow the pathway of wind and photovoltaics to reach the goals for renewable energy implementation in 2020 and 2050. In the first commercial projects involving parabolic‐trough technology, some improvements are being introduced like the use of large molten‐salt heat storage systems able to provide high degrees of dispatchability to the operation of the plant, like the plants Andasol in Guadix, Spain, with 7.5 h of nominal storage, or the use of direct steam generation loops to replace thermal oil at the solar field. In the near future, the research and innovation being conducted within the field of linear Fresnel collectors may lead to high temperature systems able to operate up to 500°C and produce cost‐effective superheated steam.

Abstract Solar energy systems directly benefit the environment by avoiding CO2 emissions that would otherwise be generated from fossil-fuel power plants. Indirect impacts to climate may also result at local-, regional-, and global- scales, but these impacts are as yet poorly understood and characterized. Widespread deployment of utility-scale solar energy (USSE) installations may alter the radiative balance at the land-atmosphere interface by shifting radiative forcing that eventually changes climate. When USSE installations displace cropland or desert surface, this deployment introduces complicated effects on local radiative forcing.

  • Evaluation of the Coupling of a Hybrid Power Plant with a Water Generation System
    applied sciences Article Evaluation of the Coupling of a Hybrid Power Plant with a Water Generation System Amanda del Moral and Fontina Petrakopoulou * Department of Thermal and Fluid Engineering, University Carlos III of Madrid, Avda. de la Universidad 30, 28911 Leganés (Madrid), Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 September 2019; Accepted: 11 November 2019; Published: 20 November 2019 Abstract: This paper presents the design and analysis of an energy/water system that combines a 20 MW hybrid concentrated solar/biomass power plant with an advanced wastewater treatment facility. Designed to be installed in one of the most demanding areas of the Iberian Peninsula, the Spanish region of Andalusia, this plant seeks to provide the area with potable water and electricity. The solar block works with a mixture of molten salts, while the biomass backup system of the power plant uses olive pomace. The implementation of a direct potable reuse facility further enhances the sustainability of the project. Urban sewage from the region is collected and passed through a series of purification procedures in order to generate potable water ready to be directly blended into the water distribution system. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine the feasibility of the co-generation of electricity and water in the area. With a capacity factor of 85% and an annual operation of 7,446 hours, the hybrid solar/biomass power plant generates 148.92 GWh. Exergetic analyses have been realized for two extreme cases: exclusive use of the solar block and exclusive use of the biomass system. An overall plant exergetic efficiency of 15% is found when the solar block is used and an efficiency of 34% is calculated when the biomass support system is used.

  • Showcase of In-Production Solar Power Technologies in Seville Province, Andalusia, Spain
    Sentinel Vision EVT-563 Showcase of in-production solar power technologies in 28 November 2019 Seville province, Andalusia, Spain Sentinel-2 MSI acquired on 11 June 2019 at 11:06:21 UTC Sentinel-1 CSAR IW acquired on 20 October 2019 at 06:26:23 & 18:18:36 UTC Sentinel-2 MSI acquired on 24 October 2019 at 11:10:49 UTC Sentinel-2 MSI acquired on 26 October 2019 at 11:01:41 UTC 3D Layerstack Author(s): Sentinel Vision team, VisioTerra, France - [email protected] Keyword(s): Solar power, renewable energy, climate change, infrastructure, Spain Fig. 1 - S1 (20.10.2019 18:18) - vv,vh,vv colour composite - Numerous photovoltaic and concentrated solar power are located in Andalusia. 2D view Areas in the province of Seville receives at least nine hours of sunshine 320 days per year, with 15 hours per day in mid summer. With 2000 kWh/m2/yr, it is no wonder solar energy has bright perspectives there. Global Horizontal Irradiation Map of Spain - source: SolarGIS GeoModel Solar 2011 / Spain initially had a leading role in the development of solar power. Generous prices for grid connected solar power were offered to encourage the industry. The boom in solar power installations were faster than anticipated and prices for grid connected solar power were not cut to reflect this, leading to a fast but unsustainable boom in installations. Spain would find itself second only to Germany in the world for solar power installed capacity. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the Spanish government drastically cut its subsidies for solar power and capped future increases in capacity at 500 MW per year, with effects upon the industry worldwide.
