The investment landscape for CSP is still evolving
MENA characterized by privatization and administrative barriers

 Strong state involvement in the energy industry but ongoing privatization of government-owned utilities
(e.g. Abu Dhabi, Oman)
 Interconnection of the GCC electricity grid system planned to allow for electricity trading and capacity
balancing
MENA
energy  Rising (peak) electricity demand mainly due to air conditioning systems and growing population
market  Especially energy importers such as Jordan and Morocco seek to obtain energy security

 Administrative barriers and no clear ownership at government level of issues related to renewable energy
 Trend to divert vast oil and natural gas resources as feedstock into high-margin downstream
petrochemicals; thus solar energy becomes attractive to replace fossil fuels for electricity generation

Parabolic Trough
Today’s only large-scale commercial technology with storage

Receiver Solar Collector


• A steel support structure holds 4 mm curved glass
Glass mirrors mirrors in a parabolic shape
Steel Structure • In the focal line of the parabola, receiver tubes absorb
One-Axial Tracking the concentrated energy and turn it into heat
• The tubes are streamed by a thermal oil that conveys
the energy to a heat exchanger or steam generator

Solar Tower
Highly efficient and scalable technology of the future

Solar Tower with Receiver


• The receiver is mounted on top of a standard wind
turbine shaft
• The receiver has one north and one south facing
absorber, each gathering 170° of insolation
• Water is directly evaporated and superheated to
approx. 440°C without heat exchangers

Mirror Field
• Instead of individual foundations, a steel structure is
employed
• The structure holds thousands of only 1.2-2m2 mirrors
• Each mirror can individually be controlled to focus
onto the absorber
• Mirror control software is eSolar’s core competency

Power Plant Setup


• The solar field is largely pre-assembled and can be
installed quickly with little labor and machines
• A modular plant design combines high
standardization with adaptability
• The steam of the modules is merged into power
blocks of up to 50MW

Ferrostaal AG Solar Energy Project Development and Implementation in the MENA Region June 2010 | 17
Linear Fresnel
Robust mid-size technology with great cost potential

Solar Collector Module


• A steel structure holds rows of nearly flat mirror
segments, 9m above them is the receiver unit
• Each segment is 6m long and 60cm wide. One module
is 96mx21m and made up of 24x16 mirror segments
• One row is controlled by one motor that pivots the 16
mirrors every few seconds by fractions of a degree

Solar Field
• The modules are run on direct steam
• The field is split-up into three divisions: heat water,
evaporate water to saturated steam, superheat steam
• Steam temperatures of 450°C can be achieved
• Multiple modules are interconnected according to the
irradiation and output

Plant Setup and Operations


• As the collector produces steam, this is directly fed Solar Thermal Steam Injection Conventional Production

into a turbine or used as process heat


• The process steam can be used for desalination,
enhanced oil recovery, a.o.
