1 SOLAR POWER The energy demand will be doubled in the next 30 years Insecurity in energy supplies International tensions A major threat is more urgent to be encountered Climate Change The sun has enormous potential to become the most dominant direct source of all renewable energies. It provides, within three days, as much energy as that contained by all of the known fossil fuel reserves underground. Build your new world with Emaco Group

2 The climate change and global warming due to CO2 emissions (IPCC* scenarios) Without the proper measures for CO2 emissions elimination, the climate change will become a real threat The Chinas and Indias energy demand make the situation much worst. The best scenario has a high cost, however the cost of the inaction is much higher SRES - Special Report on Emissions Scenarios *Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change related to energy and industry

3 Precipitation change & extreme events Due to precipitation changes fertile land desertification it is possible in many areas. The existing atmospheric models can not exclude the appearance of the most catastrophic extreme events (very strong typhoons, tornados, snow or hail storms etc.). Thus such extremely catastrophic events it is possible to appear sooner or later

4 Increased cost of KWh produced by the clean electricity technologies CLEAN ELECTRICITY TECHNOLOGY KWh DIRECT PRODUCTION COST % ON EXISTING BASE LOAD AVERAGE KWh DIRECT COST (~ 6 cents) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Power Plants 135-160 % (8-10 cents) Nuclear Fission (New Power Plants 3500 EURO/KW) 130-160 % (7.5-10 cents) Wind Parks (With Energy Storage System) 140-160 % (onshore) (8.5-10 cents) 180-200 % (offshore) (11-12 cents) Desert Solar Concentrating Parks (With Energy Storage System) 300-350 % (18-21 cents) Desert Solar Photo-Voltaic Parks (With Energy Storage System) 500-550 % (30-33 cents) Biomass Power Plants100-150 % (6-9 cents) Nuclear Fusion- Non yet defined but most probably very high (>1000 %) (>30 cents)

10 Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems use lenses or mirrors to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area. Electrical power is produced when the concentrated light is directed onto photovoltaic surfaces or used to heat a transfer fluid for a conventional power plant. Concentrated solar power systems are divided into: concentrated solar thermal (CST) concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) concentrating photovoltaics and thermal (CPT) CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER

11 Concentrated solar thermal (CST) Concentrated solar thermal is used to produce renewable heat or electricity (generally, in the latter case, through steam). CST systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area The concentrated light is then used as heat or as a heat source for a conventional power plant (solar thermoelectricity). A wide range of concentrating technologies exist, including the parabolic trough, Dish Stirling, Concentrating Linear Fresnel Reflector, Solar chimney and solar power tower. Each concentration method is capable of producing high temperatures and correspondingly high thermodynamic efficiencies, but they vary in the way that they track the Sun and focus light. CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER

12 Concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) Concentrated photovoltaics systems employ sunlight concentrated onto photovoltaic surfaces for the purpose of electrical power production. Solar concentrators of all varieties may be used, and these are often mounted on a solar tracker in order to keep the focal point upon the cell as the Sun moves across the sky. CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER

13 Concentrated Photovoltaics and Thermal (CPT) Concentrating Photovoltaics and Thermal technology produces both electricity and thermal heat in the same module. Thermal heat can be employed for hot tap water, heating and heat-powered air conditioning (solar cooling), desalination or solar process heat. CPVT systems can be used in private homes and increase total energy output to 40-50%, as compared with normal PV panels with 10-20% efficiency, and they produce more thermal heat in wintertime compared with normal thermal collectors. Also, thermal systems do not overheat.. CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER

14 The diagram illustrates a simple water heating circuit. The solar collector contains two independent circuits. An oil circuit in a closed system comprises a solar collector, the tubes and a small pump (needed to move hot oil through the circuit) and a U-tube heat exchanger in the water tank. The cold oil is moved by the pump, collects heat energy in the solar collector, goes to the u-tube heat exchanger and transfers some of its heat to the water in the tank. The second circuit, starts in a cold water feed which fills up the thank and pick up energy from the U-tube heat exchanger. Once the water is warm it can be used in a tap water circuit. If we want to produce electricity from the sun, the best way is by a thermal solar plant. SOLAR WATER HEATING

15 In an industrial Solar plant, an array of mirrors acts as a parabolic reflector, concentrating solar energy onto a focal point (where the tube with a thermal liquid is installed). The temperature of the heat transfer fluid, at the focal point, may reach 3,000 ºC. This heat is used to give energy to the water circuit inside a Heat exchanger. Water changes into stream and moves a turbine whose axle moves the generator, producing electricity. Steam water is changed into liquid and pushed again to the heat exchanger. SOLAR WATER HEATING

16 Photovoltaic (PV) cells are the main source for capturing the suns energy and as such, with their carbon dioxide- free, limitless, safe and quiet power, are experiencing the highest growth rate of any energy producing technology. With todays advanced technologies, the actual environmental impact of a Photovoltaic power systems is restored after only a few years of operation. Finally, Photovoltaic power systems improve the security of the transmission network supply though a modular and decentralized power generation concept. Photovoltaics are best known as a method for generating electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from the sun into electricity. The photovoltaic effect refers to photons of light knocking electrons into a higher state of energy to create electricity. The term photovoltaic denotes the unbiased operating mode of a photodiode in which current through the device is entirely due to the transduced light energy. Virtually all photovoltaic devices are some type of photodiode. Solar cells produce direct current electricity from light, which can be used to power equipment or to recharge a battery. Today the majority of photovoltaic modules are used for grid connected power generation. In this case an inverter is required to convert the DC to AC. There is also a market for off-grid power for remote light, dwellings, boats, recreational vehicles, electric cars, roadside signals and emergency telephones, remote sensing, and cathodic protection of pipelines.

37 Comparison Cost Study between Traditional Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems

38 Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems Introduction As the cost of any dream plays the important part when deciding to make it real, its decided to investigate what is the cost of making LIBYA streets take the advantage of the sun shining 365 days per year, and to keep LIBYA, as always, leads in all life aspects. The investigation summaries a comparison study in which the cost of solar powered street lighting is compared with the cost of street lighting powered by traditional source of power. by Dr. Hamid Sherwali

39 Solar Street Lighting Solar lights consist of three major components: a solar panel, the light itself (which is a LED light), and a battery. Solar panels are made of a semi-conducting material, often times silicon. When sunlight strikes the panel the light waves get converted into electric current through a process known as the photoelectric effect. The generated electricity is stored in the battery throughout the day, and is then used to power the LED light at night. Solar street lights can be easily installed and moved and delivers free, renewable energy which is stored in a battery ready to be used when darkness falls. Traditional Street Lighting Traditional street lighting system comprises, poles complete with brackets, luminaries, lamps, jointing box, internal pole wiring, 4*16 (or 25) mm 2 power cable, 1*16 (or 25) mm 2 earthing wire, earthing points, 4*50 mm 2 (or above) power cable and lighting distribution box. Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems

40 Comparison Based on GECOL specification, High pressure sodium lamps have the following characteristics: 112 lumen/watt -- Average lifetime hours max 18000 Hour Comparison is based on one Km of single sided pole arrangement with: H(Pole height) 0.8 W(Road width) and S(Spacing between poles) 3.5 H Considering average working hours in Libya is 12 hours / day (Summer time 10 hours dark time, winter time 14 hours dark time and 12 hours in spring and autumn) For a 10-12 meter width road with single sided pole arrangement lighted with high pressure sodium lamps of 250 watt (0.274 Kw with ballast) each, along unit distance of 1 Km we will need the following: Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems

41 33 Lighting pole complete with brackets, luminaries, lamps, jointing box and internal pole wiring. 1066 meter of 4*16 (or 25) mm 2 power cable 1066 meter of 1*16 (or 25) mm 2 earthing wire At least two earthing point Approximately 40 of 3.5*50 mm 2 power cable Approximately 25% of lighting distribution box From above data and for entire life time of a lighting system (25 years), one can calculate the following:- Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems

42 * Estimated figure (average) ** Lighting box with six branches may cover 3 Km of street lighting ***Each 4 Km of street lighting may need one road crossing Capital Cost 1. Traditional Street Lighting

43 Traditional Street Lighting Total 1 Km of single sided street lighting using poles of 8m length and 250 w lamps is approximately 107514 LD (One hundred and seven thousand and five hundred and fourteen LD). Solar Street Lighting For solar system one can notice that most of the items existed in traditional lighting system do not exist in solar system. This, in addition to money saving, saves time and causes comfort during execution. Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems

44 Capital Cost 2. Solar Street Lighting

45 It is understood that the poles may have special design to adopt solar units, thus pole prices may differ than that provided by HIB. If an additional 300 LD assumed for each pole, gives a total of 10000 LD, the total price becomes 124246 LD (One hundred and twenty four thousand and two hundred and forty six LD). Running cost Total energy consumed / day = 33 * 0.274 * 12 = 108.504 Kwh/day Total energy consumed / year =108.504 * 365 = 39603.96 Kwh/year Energy consumed cost /year = 39603.96*cost of 1 Kwh (say0.05 LD)= 1980.198 LD/ year Energy consumed cost/ life time =1980.198 * 25 =49.505 LD (Forty Nine Thousand LD) Lamp average working hours are 18000 Hour, i.e. 49 months It must get replace before that time, thus for entire life time of lamps they must be changed at least six times; Lamp replacement cost = (average lamp price over life time i.e. 100) * (6)* 33 =19800 LD Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems

46 Fixing all other running costs such as cost of maintenance, cleaning, replacement, etc… Total running cost is 49.505+19800 = 69,300 LD (Sixty nine Thousand and 300 LD). Solar Street Lighting For a 10-12 meter width road with single sided pole arrangement lighted with LED solar street lighting system, along unit distance of 1 Km we will need the following:- Lighting pole complete with arms, luminaries, lamps (which is LED light), jointing box, internal pole wiring, solar panel and Batteries. No need for cabling, central lighting distribution box and earthing wire. Running cost Energy consumed cost /year = Zero Energy consumed cost/ life time =Zero Lamp average working hours are 60000 Hour, i.e. 164 months =14 years Thus for entire life time of lamps they may get changed once, i.e. one shall never have to worry about the LED light burning out. Lamp replacement cost = 33 * 100 = 3300 LD Battery replacement each five years Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems

47 Battery replacement cost = 4 * (cost of one box of batteries app 200 LD) * 33 =26400 LD Fixing all other running costs such as cost of maintenance, cleaning, replacement, etc… Total running cost for Solar Street lighting is 29700 LD, {Solar lights have approximately 50% running cost of its counterpart over its entire life time.} Summary of the Comparison Based on HIB price list, the capital cost of one Km of single sided street lighting is approximately 107514 LD, and has a running cost of 69300 LD. However, the capital cost of solar lighting street lighting is 124906 LD, and has a running cost of 29700 LD. Difference in capital Cost is S 17392 LD Difference in running cost is T 39600 LD Difference in total cost is T 22208 LD S: Solar higher, T: Traditional higher Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems Capital costRunning costTotal cost Traditional10751469300176814 Solar12490629700154606

48 Over the entire life time of the street lighting system, lighting system powered by solar costs less than traditional lighting system by 18908 LD Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems

49 Few more remarks Solar system prices may be different than the above mentioned prices depending on pole height and shape, battery position (top, bottom), panel type and the output power required. The difference in capital investment between solar and traditional street lighting systems may become much narrower, or it may even vanish, because the calculation is based on nowadays prices, future is working in favor of this technology; the prices of solar technology are expected to become less expensive and the price of works associated to the traditional system is expected to increase as advancing in time. The Kwh price used for this analysis is 0.05LD which is likely increasing to become more than doubled during the entire life time of lighting system. As a conclusion the capital cost of solar system is going down while the running cost of the ordinary system is going up, i.e. solar lighting will pay its capital cost back within its first six years of its entire life time by the amount of money saved on energy costs. Other Hidden Benefits Solar lights are the safest and the easiest kind of outdoor lights to install. They are the most environmentally friendly form of lighting that you can find. You will never have to worry about the LED light burning out. Traditional Street Lighting Systems and Solar Street Lighting Systems
