RENEWABLE ENERGY AS Source Of Clean Electrical Generation By Prof. Mohamed A. H. El-Sayed
Challenges • Increase amount of CO2 as a result of fossil fuel combustion. • Doubling CO2 content in atmosphere leads to temperature rise of 4.5 o C • The fossil fuel world economy has 2 C/C: -Fossil fuel resources are finite and run out in 40 a. -Reserves of fossil fuels are found at limited number of location and require transmission to load centers.
Alternatives to Fossil Fuels • The alternatives to fossil fuels are renewable energy including: • Solar energy • Wind energy • Fuel cells • Shell’s study indicated that half of the world’s energy need in year 2050 will be supplied by renewable resources. • Therefore, a lot of R&D work still remains to be done in this area such as cost reduction, efficient and optimal mode of operation.
PV/Grid Energy System Configurations • Large Single Inverter Type (Central Inverter) • Multiple Small Inverter Type (String Inverter) • DC Bus (Multi-string Inverter) • “AC” Module
Kuraymat Hybrid Solar Thermal Plant • The project site 90 km south Cairo 2x150 MW • An uninhabited flat desert land. • High intensity direct solar radiation reaches to 2400 kWh /m2 / year. • An extended unified power grid and expanded natural gas pipelines. • Near to the sources of water.
Solar Field • The total area of the solar collectors is about 130000 m2 tracking the sun from east to west while rotating on a north-south axis. • A heat transfer fluid (HTF), (typically synthetic oil) heated to a temperature up to 400 oC. The fluid is pumped to a heat exchanger to generate steam introducing it to the Steam Turbine (ST) to generate electricity.
Power Block . Combined Cycle power plant consists of : -Two natural gas Turbines of about 41.5 MW -Two Heat Recovery Steam Generators. -One steam turbine of about 68 MW. -Cooling system
Wind Energy Advantages: -Clean source of Energy. -Lowest-priced renewable technologies 4 to 6 cent/kWh. Disadvantages: -Noise produced by the rotor blades. -Birds have been killed by flying into the rotors. These problems have been resolved by properly sitting wind plants.
Wind Turbines Type of Wind Turbines: • -Most of Wind turbines being used today are horizontal-axis type. • -Horizontal-axis wind turbines typically either have two or three blades. • -Utility-scale turbines range in size from 100 kW to several MW. • -Larger turbines are grouped together into wind farm, which provide bulk power to electrical grid.
Available power Power coefficient Tip-speed ratio Generator speed has to be changed from 1000 to 2000 rpm Wind speed changes from 7 to 13 m/s Wind Power Calculation .
