3 INTRODUCTION. SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SYSTEM. SOLAR THERMAL POWER SYSTEM. WIND POWER SYSTEM. ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS. STAND-ALONE SYSTEM. GRID-CONNECTED SYSTEM.

4 Solar Thermal Power Plants History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Plants

6 World CSP Map

7 Solar Energy Current & Future in Egypt Total installed capacity about 38 GW o o o o o 34.7 thermal, 2.8 hydro, 0.75 wind, 0.14 CSP 0.03 PV Renewable Energy (Wind & solar) represent about 2.5% from the capacity & 0.8% from the electric energy. Targeting to reach 20% of the electricity generation by year 2022.

8 Possible Sites for Renewable Energy projects in Egypt

9 Egyptian National Strategy up to 2022 The Egyptian National Strategy targets to reach 20% of the electricity generation by year 2022 as follows: Renewable Energy Source Capacity (MW) Energy (TWh) & % Wind (12%) Solar (2%) Hydro (6%)

10 Solar resources assessment Average annual direct normal solar radiation reaches ( ) kwh/m 2 /year. Average sun shine duration ranges between 9-11 h/day from North to South, with very few cloudy days.

11 Measurement of Solar Radiation

12 Measurement of Solar Radiation

13 Solar Radiation Measurement Devices

14 Thermodynamic conversion efficiency The maximum thermodynamic conversion efficiency that can be theoretically achieved with the hot side temperature T hot and the cold side temperature T cold is given by the Carnot cycle efficiency, which is as follows η Carnot = T hot T Cold T hot

15 Applications of Solar Thermal Systems Heating of applications domestic hot water in small residential

16 Applications of Solar Thermal Systems Heating of domestic hot water in collective applications (residential, hotels, hospitals, sport centers).

17 Applications of Solar Thermal Systems Space heating.

18 Applications of Solar Thermal Systems Pool heating.

19 Applications of Solar Thermal Systems Industrial process heat.

20 Applications of Solar Thermal Systems Solar cooling.

21 Solar Energy Collection Classification of CSP collectors A- Line focusing systems - Parabolic Trough. - Linear Fresnel Reflector.

22 Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) B- Point focusing systems - Solar Tower systems. - Parabolic dish.

23 Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Comparison of Alternative Solar Thermal Power System Technologies Technology Solar Concentration (x Suns) Operating Temperature on the Hot Side Thermodynamic Cycle Efficiency Parabolic Trough Central Tower o C Low o C Moderate Dish o C High

24 Linear Fresnel Solar Concentrator Augustin Jean Fresnel ( ), French Physicist

25 Linear Fresnel Solar Concentrator Linear Fresnel reflectors use stretched narrow segments of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a fixed receiver tube that runs axially above the array of reflectors located at a common focal point of the reflectors. Optimal orientation for maximum gain is north-south, but any orientation is possible.
