Comparative market analysis and economic simulation for Morocco of the parabolic trough and dish CSP technologies

Abstract

Nos últimos anos tem-se notado um rápido desenvolvimento, ainda que diferenciado das tecnologias de concentração solar CSP (concentradores parabólicos lineares e de Fresnel, discos parabólicos e torres de concentração solar). O objetivo desta Tese consiste em comparar a tecnologia parabólica linear com o disco parabólico e em analisar a viabilidade económica para um projeto em Marrocos. É apresentada uma análise geral da tecnologia e uma análise de mercado. Por fim é construída uma base de dados contendo as centrais atualmente existentes e planeadas em projetos para o futuro. A comparação dos dois mercados leva a concluir que os sistemas parabólicos lineares se encontram num estado muito mais avançado do que os sistemas baseados em discos parabólicos. Desenvolver uma análise de projeto para o disco parabólico não faria sentido, visto que não existem produtos comerciais para aplicações em larga escala, o que levaria à necessidade de fazer várias suposições para vários parâmetros-chave. Foi então desenvolvido uma análise de projeto para o sistema parabólico linear. Foram escolhidas as cidades com maior número de habitantes em Marrocos, para as quais se construiu uma base de dados de condições ambientais e recurso solar para, por fim, calcular a produção de eletricidade utilizando o programa SAM. Para dois dimensionamentos diferentes da central, adaptados a uma integração de CSP na rede elétrica de 5% e 20% respetivamente, foram calculados indicadores tais como o LCOE, a TIR e o VAL. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos para locais com maior recurso solar e com o dimensionamento adaptado a uma integração de 20% de CSP. A TIR foi estimada com 10.2% para Tânger e 9.9% para a zona de Salé, Rabat e Kenitra.

Developments in the past years have differentiated CSP (concentrating solar power) technologies (parabolic trough, power tower, parabolic dish and linear Fresnel) in terms of matureness. The aim of this Thesis is to compare the parabolic trough technology with the parabolic dish and to evaluate the economic feasibility of a project in Morocco. A general survey of the technology is presented and a market analysis is carried out. Finally the currently running power plants and planned projects are brought together in a database and presented. After comparing the two technologies, it was clear that parabolic trough is in a much more mature state than the parabolic dish, in terms of market penetration. In fact, project analysis for the parabolic dish would not make sense as there are no commercial products for large scale and many assumptions would need to be made. Therefore a project analysis was developed only for the parabolic trough technology. For the location, the largest cities in Morocco were chosen, an ambient and solar database was created and the annual electricity generation was calculated using the program SAM. Indicators such as the LCOE, IRR and NPV were calculated for two different power plant designs, one adapted for 5% of CSP integration in the grid and one for 20% of CSP integration. Locations with higher solar resource and 20% of CSP integration have the best results. For the IRR 10.2% is estimated for Tangier and 9.9% for the area of Salé Rabat and Kenitra. Estimated net present values are 3.7 M€ for Tangier and 0.7 M€ for Sale, Rabat and Kenitra.
