NREA Study Project TRANS-CSP Trans-Mediterranean Interconnection for Concentrating Solar Power (WP02 Scenario) Project for the Research & Development Programme of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)
WP02 Scenario Scope: Develop a sustainable scenario for power generation in Europe taking into consideration the transfer of solar electricity from MENA Result: A well balanced mix of renewables with fossil fuel backup can provide low cost, secure and compatible electricity for Europe. Solar electricity imports can significantly reduce the electricity cost.
2040 2020 Electricity/Capita [kWh/cap] 2000 1980 1960 GDP/Capita [1000 US$ 1996 PPP] Driving Force for Electricity Demand: Electricity Intensity Year y = a x b Fitting Empirical Data of 25 (150) Countries
Plenty Renewable Energy Resources in EUMENA In brackets: (Typical Yield in GWhel/km²/y) Biomass (1) Geothermal Energy (1) Wind Energy (30) Hydropower (30) Every 10 km² in MENA yield 15 million barrels of fuel oil per year in form of solar energy Solar Energy (250)
Sustainable Mix ? Economic Renewable Electricity Potentials vs. Demand in EUMENA > 630 000
Specific Investment of Power Technologies (Example Spain) Nuclear power: increasing cost of waste disposal and security
Electricity Cost of Power Technologies (Example Spain) CO2 Capture and Sequestration (CCS) included in fossil fueled generation costs after 2020 CSP in solar only operation
10 resources, mostly domestic and unlimited 5 resources, mostly imported and limited TRANS-CSP: Electricity Generation in Europe
TRANS-CSP: Installed Capacity in Europe At any time, peak power demand is covered with an extra 25 % reserve of firm power capacity
TRANS-CSP delivers Power on Demand: Peaking vs. Fluctuating Capacity
