11 INTRODUCTION to the session 1B: Challenges and Opportunities for PV-hybrid Power Plants in Lebanon BACKGROUND by Eng. Xavier Vallvé Director of Trama TecnoAmbiental, S.L.

12 Background: MED-Solar Project Duration: 3 years ( ) Budget: Specific Objective: Innovative technologies and know-how transfer in the field of solar energy in public facilities through public procurement processes. Beneficiaries: public facilities and investments from the private sector. Partners: Coordination: TTA (ES) UPC (ES) SOLARTYS (ES) CEA (FR) ERC (Palestine) UNDP-Lebanon NERC(Jordan)

13 Background: CEDRO Project Duration: 3 years ( ) Budget: (+ co-financing) Specific Objective: to support the development and implementation of a national sustainable energy strategy and action plans to mitigate climate change. The CEDRO 4 project will emphasize on the following activities: Renewable energy and energy efficiency applications, up-scaled on the one hand (>100 kwp), and targeting new sectors (particularly the commercial and industrial sectors) Implementing a low-carbon village Bioenergy application (for heating) from forestry residues Renewable energy policy support, planning and analysis Capacity building, awareness raising, and marketing

14 Background: DREG Project Duration: 4 years ( ) Budget: $1.575M Specific Objective: catalyze the development of the small, decentralized, gridconnected renewable energy power generation market in Lebanon. The target is to facilitate the installation of at least 1.75 MW of new decentralized RE power generation capacity. The DREG project will emphasize on the following activities: Installation of on-grid hybrid renewable energy systems for electricity generation and greenhouse gas emissions reduction and targeting the private sector (Corporations, SMEs, and NGOs) Conducting financial and technical studies to create a supportive policy and regulatory environment for renewable energy in Lebanon Implementation of a market monitoring and reporting mechanism for RE installations as well as a PV quality control scheme in Lebanon Capacity building and awareness raising

16 Typical schemes to integrate renewables behind the meter when reliable grids Economic Challenge: Suitable Business Model?

17 Session 1B: Challenges and Opportunities for PV-hybrid Power Plants in Lebanon PART 1 Mr. Hassan Harajli, EU-financed UNDP-MEDSOLAR and UNDP- CEDRO projects. Mr., Jil Amine, GEF financed UNDP DREG project.

18 Outline: - CEDRO IV: Funding and Scope - Implementations - Biomass from Forestry Residues Implementation - Ground Source Heat Pump Implementation - Green Model Village Implementation - PV- Diesel Hybrid Implementations

19 CEDRO IV: Funding and Scope In partnership with: Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW), Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR), Lebanese Center for Energy and Water (LCEC) Mandate: PV diesel hybrid 1 Green village 1 Ground Source Heat Pump 1 Biomass 9 Publications 5 Capacity Building events 5 sites 50 % EU funded 50% beneficiaries Co-financing EU funded Beneficiary contribution 76% MEW funded 24% EU funded EU funded Beneficiary contribution EU funded EU funded 3 sites; 80% ENPI funded 20% beneficiaries Co-financing

20 Implementations

21 Biomass from Forestry Residues Implementation 500 Tons of annual briquette production Biomass Briquetting Plant

22 Ground Source Heat Pump Implementation The MEDRAR Medical Center (MMC) in the South of Lebanon managed in cooperation with the AUBMC is intended to provide medical care through its various departments. A Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) System of over 120 boreholes of 100m deep will be installed providing the facility s demand in hot water and heating / cooling demand. 1MW vertical - Looped GSHP

23 Green Model Village Implementation A state of the art system will be implemented in Kabrikha part of the Jabal Amel Municipality Union in the South of Lebanon. A 300 KWp centralized PV diesel hybrid system will be installed to reduce the diesel consumption from municipality owned generator network during blackouts and POSSIBLY/HOPEFULLY feed back to the grid when EDL is available (NET Metering). 300KWp PV diesel hybrid system Furthermore a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) will be developed identifying the renewable energy potential of the village by source type and providing a road map for a 20% reduction of CO 2 emissions.

24 PV Diesel Hybrid Implementations 1. Amal Education Institute (AEI) 117KWp 160MWh production Ongoing 2. Souk Akkar (SA) 120KWp 160MWh production Ongoing 3. Gemayel Freres s.a.l. (GF) 300KWp 428MWh production Pending Contract Signature 4. LibanJus (LJ) 130KWp 185MWh production Ongoing 5. LibanLait (LL) 214KWp 293MWh production Final Design Submittal 6. The Agricultural Center of the North (CAN) 135KWp 188MWh production Pending Material Arrival 7. USEK 200KWp 321MWh production Pending Feasibility Study Approval

43 INTRODUCTION to the session 1B: Challenges and Opportunities for PV-hybrid Power Plants in Lebanon PART 2 TECHNOLOGICAL CHALLENGES by Eng. Xavier Vallvé Director of Trama TecnoAmbiental, S.L.

44 Solution for Unreliable Grids Low Penetration (<20%) - During normal functioning of the national grid: net-metering - During national grid blackouts: the PV plant offsets diesel consumption Solar fraction 5% Peak load ratio: 26%

45 Solution for Unreliable Grids Low Penetration (<20%) - ECONOMIC: - Financial benefits - Investment - TECHNICAL : - Solar fraction - Performance ratio (PR) - Technological difficulty

46 Solution for Unreliable Grids Medium Penetration (>20%;<50%) PV is curtailed when gensets ON Netmetered with utility Solar fraction 22% Peak load ratio: 122%

47 Solution for Unreliable Grids High Penetration (>50%) STORAGE? Solar fraction 44% Peak load ratio: 300%

48 - ECONOMIC: - Financial benefits - Investment Solution for Unreliable Grids Medium Penetration (>20%;<50%) - TECHNICAL : - Solar fraction - Performance ratio (PR) OBJ: avoid low PR and increase the Solar fraction! Can we improve genset management? Is storage an option? How can we control the PV generation?

49 Session 2: Panel Discussion: What are the technical challenges associated to: maximizing the RE penetration, consideration of storage, control strategies and components? Mr. Bedig Boghossian, Technical Engineer and Mr. Simon Loynes, Business Development Manager, Deep Sea Electronics Plc Mr. Francois Farage, General Manager, Green Essence Lebanon for Fronius Mr. Manuele Ceccarelli, Business Development Manager, Ingeteam Mr. Ahmad Rahme, Europe & MENA Sales Manager, SMA Mr. Imad Abdessater, Energy Engineer, Phoenix Energy Mr. Elie Maalouf, Division Manager, ECOSys; Midware Data Systems
