1 Concentrating Solar Power Answers to key questions Robert Pitz-Paal, DLR

2 Overview Concentrating Solar Power How does it work? What is the difference to PV? What are the essential parts? How much land do they need? Do we have enough material to produce many of them? What is the difference between the different technologies? What is today s markt size? How much does solar electricity cost today? How to reduce the costs? How can Europe and Mena benefit from a cooperation? Slide 2 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

3 How does it work? Conventional power plants Slide 3 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

4 How does it work? Solar thermal power plants Slide 4 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

5 Relative electricity costs [%] Speicher Concentrating Solar Systems no storage, electricity costs = 100% h h Tageszeit Solar Anteil 100% Thermal Storage = More operating Storage capacity hours = Cost [full-load reduction hours] * assuming specific investment costs for the storage of 10 Euro/kWh Slide 5 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

6 What is the difference to PV? Characteristics PV CSP Use Size Installation: Capacity: Reserve capacity: Proofed life time: Annual production (2004) Direct and diffuse sunlight from Watt to MW everywhere (roof etc.) full load hours External > 20 years > GWh Direct sunlight 10 MW to a few hundred MW flat unused land full load hours Internal (fossil operation) > 20 years > GWh LEC (today) 0,20 0,35 /kwh 0,15 0,25 /kwh Slide 6 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

7 What are their essential parts? Slide 7 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

8 How much land do they need? 1 km² of desert land yields up to GWhe/year 1 km² of desert land equals 50 MW coal or gas plant 1 km² of desert land saves 500,000 bbl of oil / year 1 km² of desert land avoids 200,000 tons CO2 / year 1 km² of desert land can produce 165,000 m³ freshwater/day by desalination Slide 8 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

9 Do we have enough materials for solar collectors to provide 10% of the worlds electricity demand in 2050? Example: Eurotrough Parabolictrough Collector Field Material Material per mirror surface Material per GWh produced Material for 10% solar electricity supply* Annual production (in year) Steel 25 kg/m² 75 t/(gwh/y) 375 Mio. t 1100 Mio. t *2,500 TWh 3 m² Kollektor <-> 1 MWh/y (2005) Glass 1 m²/m² 3000 m²/(gwh/y) 15 Billion m² 6,1 Billion m² (2010) Cement 10 kg/m² 30 t/ (GWh/y) 150 Mio t 1,6 Billion t (1997) Cooper 100 g/m² 300 kg/(gwh/y) 1,5 Mio t 12,6 Mio t/y Slide 9 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

10 What is the difference between the different technologies? Slide 10 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

11 What is today s market size? Slide 11 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

12 How much does solar electricity cost today? Depends on many things.. Solar Ressource, Market condition, duration of contract, radiation, financing conditions, power size Example Spain up to 27 -cent/kwh in Spain Revenues ensured over the life-time of the power plant (25 years ) Units up to 50MW Hybrid operation allowed to buffer or cloud transients (12-15%) Slide 12 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

13 How much does solar electricity cost today? Comparison based on Levelized Cost of Electricity Technology LCoE Capacity EPC cost Cap factor Fuel costs O&M fix O&M var c/kwh MW /kw_e (-) c/kwh_e /kw/y c/kwh_e CSP: 100 MW w/o storage (Arizona) 17, , Pulverized coal: 650 MW: baseload 6, ,90 2,9 27 0,3 Pulverized coal: 650 MW: midload 9, ,57 2,9 27 0,3 Gas combined cycle mid-load 6, ,40 3,2 11 0,3 Wind onshore: 100MW 8, , Wind offshore: 400 MW 15, , Photovoltaic: 150 MW (Arizona): 21, , Calculation based on Data form US Department of Energy 2010, (Currency conversion 2010 $/ = 0.755) Slide 13 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

14 How to reduce costs of CSP systems? Reduce component cost by better design and better manufacturing process (mass production) Increase system efficiency Increase number of operating hours by adding thermal energy storage Use larger power block units Reduce O&M cost by automated operation, better component lifetime, larger units Slide 14 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

15 LCoE (EUR/MWh) How to reduce cost? 200,0 180,0 160,0 140,0 120,0 100,0 80,0 60,0 40,0 20,0 0, Year Exponentiell (CSP high) Linear (Coal base) Linear (Coal mid) Linear (Gas) Exponentiell (CSP low) Calculation based on a learning rate of 15%, (CSP high) o 30% growth rate per year / CSP low 15% growth rate per year Fuel price increase of 3% per year Slide 15 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal

16 Development of MENA electricity demand, and its coverage by power plants already existing in 2000 significant increase due to economic and population growth significant investments required for new plants window of opportunity for sustainable local electricity and water supply potential of future electricity exports unique opportunity for closer economic, political and social links with Europe Slide 16 > Solar Research> Pitz-Paal
