7 MAIN CP CONCEPT From centralized to distributed generation systems Parabolic trough Collectors Heliostats and Central Receiver Linear Frenel Reflectors Parabolic Dishes with tirling Motors Low Carbon Electricity ystems 2009, Leonardo Energy Luis Crespo, Arnhem, The Netherlands

8 COMPARION AMONG CP AND OTHER R.E. PLANT (CURRENT DATA FOR PAIN) Wind Energy Photovoltaic Resource Different and complementary to some extend Less reliable forecast The same than CP Location Different They will not compete for the same land The same but different site requirements. More suitable for rural electrification Operation CP: h/year Dispatchable Fluent / non dispatchable hours/year Fluent / non dispatchable 1600 hours/year Costs CP: /kw 27 c /kwh /kw, 8 c /kwh /kw, 32 c /kwh Low Carbon Electricity ystems 2009, Leonardo Energy Luis Crespo, Arnhem, The Netherlands

9 THE CURRENT ITUATION CP plants using parabolic troughs are already a reliable and demonstrated technology. everal plants, with an overall installed power close to 2000 MW, are either in construction or in operation, mainly in pain and the UA Parabolic through collectors and heliostat fields are in operation since the early 80 s with proven performances CP plants are dispatchable and their dispatchability can be enhanced by new storage technologies and/or hybrid concepts using other renewable or conventional fuels Dual applications, i.e. electricity and water desalination, might bring important benefits in some specific places Currently, the generation costs are still high and the conversion cycle water needs for cooling need to be reduced CP plants allow the grid to accommodate more non dispatchable renewable sources Low Carbon Electricity ystems 2009, Leonardo Energy Luis Crespo, Arnhem, The Netherlands

10 ource:u: Foro Nuclear MAIN CP OPERATIONAL CHARACTERITIC CP have the same operational characteristics as conventional termal power plants - Provide inertia to the system - Allow primary, secondary and tertiary regulation - They might be disconnected while collecting solar energy CP might be easily hybridized with biomass or natural gas The forecast of the solar resource is very reliable Low Carbon Electricity ystems 2009, Leonardo Energy Luis Crespo, Arnhem, The Netherlands
