1 Renewable Energies in Egypt Activities of TU Berlin Dipl.-Ing. Johannes Wellmann TU Berlin, Campus El Gouna

2 Solar radiation in MENA Very good conditions due to very high direct radiation CSP favorable, in Egypt TWh potential (130 TWh/a needed in 2008) Global horizontal radiation up to kwh/m² a TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt

3 Solar radiation in Egypt Due to the fact, that there are many costal sides for CSP plants possible, they could be used to generate the energy needed for desalination 496 TWh/a possible for CSP until 2050 Sun shines between 9-11 h/day and good weather conditions kwh/m² a Direct normal radiation (DNI) up to kwh/m² a TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt

4 CSP plants in Egypt Kuraymat: operational MW ISCC plant, with gas turbine and steam turbine - 20 MW el solar electricity generation, in operation since June Solar field: m² aperture area, 160 solar collector arrays, 60 MW th - Steam turbine: Siemens, wet cooling tower Kom Ombo: planned MW el solar electricity generation, 700 Mio. US $ investments Desertec initiative could lead to more CSP power plants in the MENA region and approx. 400 Bill. EUR total investments possible Due to subsidies of fossil fuels, all solar projects with grid connection can only be realized with massive international financial support TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt

6 Map of wind Technical potential: 7650 TWh / year Economic potential: 90 TWh / year TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt

7 Costs for wind electricity Windpark Zafarana: 1,7 Mio. US $ per installed MW Costs of electricity: 4 9 US ct / kwh (relatively low due to good location) NREA sells the generated electricity for 14,6 pt / kwh to the EETC TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt

8 Research activities in the Department for Energy Engineering TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt

9 Solar Energy generation TECHNIQUE CONVERSION T MAX SCALE Photovoltaic DC-AC Converter n/a small - medium Solar thermal generation non-concentrating Heat generation < 100 C small - medium Solar thermal generation concentrating Heat generation power plant max. 800 C large TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt

10 Photovoltaic Energy Technology Technology: uses the photoelectric effect for generating electricity (DC) directly from spectra of the sunlight Uses direct and diffuse radiation for energy conversion Performance (capacity factor) highly dependent from location and used technology TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt [DLR, lecture slides Integration of Renewable Energies, Dr. Franz Trieb]

11 Photovoltaic Performance Characteristics Capacity Credit = Contribution to firm capacity and balancing power No contribution to firm capacity, Capacity Credit = 0, but relatively reliable minimum supply during daytime Fluctuating primary energy: only expensive electrical storage possible (Batteries) Example for firm capacity of 20 MW, with fossil backup (e.g. Gas) needs 75 % fossil backup TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt [DLR, lecture slides Integration of Renewable Energies, Dr. Franz Trieb]

12 Wind Energy Technology Technology: modern wind turbines use the lift force of the wind like airplanes, which are converted with a generator to electricity Marked ready technology with on/offshore options to reasonable costs Power output highly dependent from suitable location, because the correlation wind speed and power increases in cubic (exp. 3) TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt [DLR, lecture slides Integration of Renewable Energies, Dr. Franz Trieb]

13 Wind Performance Characteristics Capacity Credit = Contribution to firm capacity and balancing power Limited contribution to firm capacity, Capacity Credit below 30%, in Germany 8% onshore and 12% offshore Fluctuating primary energy: only expensive electrical storage possible (Batteries) Example for firm capacity of 20 MW, with fossil backup (e.g. Gas) needs 60 % fossil backup TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt [DLR, lecture slides Integration of Renewable Energies, Dr. Franz Trieb]

14 CSP Energy Technology Technology: concentrating sunlight to generate high-temperature heat to drive a steam turbine (conventional power cycle) Storable thermal energy delivers firm capacity as fuel saver, power on demand Combined generation of process heat possible, e.g. thermal desalination TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt [DLR, lecture slides Integration of Renewable Energies, Dr. Franz Trieb]

15 CSP Performance Characteristics Capacity Credit = Contribution to firm capacity and balancing power Potential full contribution to firm capacity, up to 90% in combination with thermal energy storage and fuel backup Storable primary energy: Heat can be stored daytime storage, no seasonal Example for firm capacity of 20 MW, with fossil backup (e.g. Gas) needs 10 % fossil backup TU Berlin Campus El Gouna in Egypt [DLR, lecture slides Integration of Renewable Energies, Dr. Franz Trieb]
