Alstom’s Solar OfferWFES, Abu Dhabi Vilmos Wolff17 January 2013
Alstom: A large portfolio of solar thermal solutions Design & Development Full component supply Engineering, Construction, Procurement Operation & Maintenance • Engineering • Feasibility study • Financial coordination • Permitting • Grid planning • Complete power island • Turbine • Generator • Solar receiver steam generator • Heat Exchangers • All component & material sourcing • Manufacturing • Transport & assembly • Optimized solutions covering: • Solar concentration & collection • Power block • Distributed control systems • Piping, valves & power island Balance of Plant • Electrical cabling, high voltage power export and grid connection • Civil engineering & plant construction management • Result presentation • Result documentation • Project review • Evaluation of project course • Archiving new collected experience Comprehensive solutions along the project lifecycle
Reliable & trusted partners EPC: >50 GW of steam projects IB: largest ST fleet globally O&M: 17‘000 people History: >100 years in market place • Most experienced Solar Experts: • 350MW CSP plants in operation • largest PPA pipeline Key characteristics • 130-150 MW / >300 GWh p.a. stable power output • 300 local jobs created during construction
Highest arrangement flexibility Arrangement flexibility Effective optimization of solar field including any geographical boundaries constraints including: - ownerships - difficult soils - site to be excluded Topographical flexibility • No need for leveling within the solar field! • - heliostats can be mounted on slopes with up to 5% gradient • Minimum access ways for installation and cleaning maximized valuation of land made available
Lowest environmental impact Low impact construction • Only minimal foundation required • Fully reversible structure at end of life • Untouched surroundings, no wiring of heliostats • Highly effective installation (minutes range) Low water usage • Low water consumption due to partially automated brushing / water cleaning cycles • Dry Cooling on power block to minimize water usage
Integration solar field & power block Storage Heliostats Power Block Solar field control system Solar Receiver Steam Generator Air Cooled Condenser DCS Integrated solution to optimize plant performance
Direct Steam + StorageThermal energy storage system: Basic scheme • Low temperature (up to 400°C) • Proven operation in solar trough plants (Spain and elsewhere) • Equipment available from experienced suppliers Classic two-tank proven and reliable technology
Solar Hybrids has compelling value proposition… Boost – Solar in conventional ST plant • Solutions for GT/CC and ST plants • Increase of renewable energy, decrease of CO2 emissions and fuel saving • Generation of “dispatchable” electricity without need for storage • Reduced CAPEX for same output • Leverage existing power block and grid access by maximising utilisation • Synergetic benefits for new plants: • Higher efficiency, increased operational flexibility (ISCC), max. staff utilisation • … but adequate tariff structure needed Solar: 30- 50 MW / ~ 5% renewable share ISCC – Integrated Solar Combined Cycle Solar: 50 - 100 MW / <30% renewable share An economic solution for cleaner fossil power
