South Africa to build 2100 MW of renewable power

South Africa received 53 bids to build 2,100 megawatts of renewable power capacity in the first phase of a program valued at as much as USD 12 billion, with projects split almost equally between wind and solar.

Mr Ompi Aphane deputy director general of the department of energy said that about half the tenders for the plan, which will total 3,725 megawatts of capacity when completed at the end of 2016, were for wind farms, 48% for solar parks and 2% for small hydropower plants.

Mr Aphane said that successful bidders in the first round will be announced by the end of November or early in December.

South Africa plans to boost renewable power as a proportion of overall generation as it seeks to reduce dependence on coal, which is used to produce nearly 90% of the country’s electricity and is the worst fuel for carbon emissions. Energy department director general Mr Nelisiwe Magubane estimated the value of the program at USD 10 billion to USD 12 billion on August 31.

GCC needs solar industry experts as demand rises

Solar power will be an important source of energy for GCC states in the next decade and that there will be a solid need for skilled professionals to meet the regions' plans for the solar energy industry.

Although the GCC nations have been slower than countries like Germany and Spain in the development and uptake of solar technologies, Dr Khalid Klefeekh Al Hajri Board Member and CEO of Qatar Solar Technologies forecast a solar boom across the GCC and North Africa over the next decade and that the region has unlimited potential for the development and use of solar technology.

Dr Al Hajri said that "The GCC countries are blessed with abundant energy reserves both above and below the surface. We have tapped the energy that lies below us in the form of our oil and gas deposits and we are now looking upwards to the sun to tap its unlimited energy potential. The possibilities are endless."

There is a growing demand within the GCC for solar technologies and applications that are sustainable, reliable and that will bring a lasting benefit to the region and the world. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE are already using solar energy and researching new applications for this technology in solar desalination, solar cooling and for use in the oil and gas refining processes.

Dr Al Hajri said that "There are a number of interesting solar projects which we are seeing within Qatar and the region that will have a positive impact on the development of the solar industry both locally, regionally and internationally. The region is well placed to become a major solar energy user, producer and researcher and I see a huge demand for skilled solar industry professionals to help us meet our growth objectives."

Solar and wind energy projects planned in MENA

The Saudi Gazette reported that a German led initiative envisioned building EUR 400 billion vast networks of solar and winding farms across North Africa and the Middle East to provide 15% of Europe's electricity supply by 2050. Against this backdrop, Morocco has been chosen as the first location for the project.

The Desertec Industrial Initiative, a coalition of companies including E.ON, Siemens, Munich Re and Deutsche Bank announced at its annual conference held in Cairo said that all systems are go in Morocco with construction of the first phase of a 500 MW solar farm scheduled to start next year. The precise location of the EUR 2 billion plants is yet to be finalized but it is expected to be built near the desert city of Ouarzazate. It will use parabolic mirrors to generate heat for conventional steam turbines, as opposed to the photovoltaic cells used in the UK.

Mr Paul van Son CEO of Dii said that the 12 square kilometer Moroccan solar farm will be a reference project to prove to investors and policy makers in both Europe and the Middle East and North Africa region that the Desertec vision is not a dream like mirage but one that can be a major source of renewable electricity in the decades ahead.

Mr Van Son described Desertec as a win win for both Europe and MENA. The Arab spring had created both opportunities and questions for the ambitious project. Discussions are already underway with the Tunisian government about building a solar farm and Algeria is the next obvious country due to its close proximity to Western Europe's grid. Countries such as Libya, Egypt, Turkey, Syria and Saudi Arabia are predicted to start joining the network from 2020, as a network of high voltage direct current cables are built and extended across the wider region.

Mr Jochen Homann the state secretary at Germany's Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology said that "We undertook major reforms in German energy policy this summer and Desertec opens up an opportunity for us. We want to enter the age of renewables with sustainable sources of electricity supplying 80% of our power generation by 2050. As we accelerate our phase out of nuclear power, we need to safeguard an affordable supply of electricity and we will be interested in importing renewables supplies in the future. Germany's government will continue to support Desertec. It is an inspiring vision which is good for foreign, climate and economic policies."

Mr Homann stressed that there would be pre conditions for guaranteeing long term support from the Germany government. He said there must be liberalization of the energy markets across the MENA region North Africa still provides huge subsidies for fossil fuels. There will need to be regulatory improvements. Only then will renewables be able to compete and a common market created. And other European states must participate, too.

Solar Cheaper Than Diesel Making India’s Mittal Believer: Energy
January 25, 2012, 4:30 PM EST

By Natalie Obiko Pearson

Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- India is producing power from solar cells more cheaply than by burning diesel for the first time, spurring billionaire Sunil Mittal and Coca-Cola Co.’s mango supplier to jettison the fuel in favor of photovoltaic panels.

The cost of solar energy in India declined by 28 percent since December 2010, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The cause was a 51 percent drop in panel prices last year as the world’s 10 largest manufacturers, led by China’s Suntech Power Holdings Co., doubled output capacity.

“Solar is going mainstream in India, helped by Chinese pricing,” said Ardeshir Contractor, founder of developer Kiran Energy Solar Power Pvt. Kiran, whose investors include Bessemer Venture Partners, an early financier of Skype Technologies SA, won one of the largest projects auctioned by India last month.

India joins pockets of Italy, Spain and Hawaii where rising fuel costs and lower panel prices make solar pay for itself without state subsidies, New Energy Finance data show. Factories and homes in the Asian nation switch on emergency diesel-fired generators during chronic blackouts and to bridge gaps in the power-delivery grid as the government prepares a $400 billion program through 2017 to curb the shortfall and spur growth.

“If they had the foresight, these factories would be replacing their diesel generators now or at least getting what they can from solar,” said Lalit Jain, chief executive officer of Moser Baer Clean Energy Ltd., which owns 100 megawatts of operating solar plants in India, Italy, the U.K. and Germany.

Power Deficit

Electricity demand exceeds supply in India by about 14 percent during peak hours, and about 400 million people have no access to power, according to the United Nations.

While European governments have cut preferential rates paid to solar-plant operators amid an escalating debt crisis, India is driving down its costs by forcing utilities and developers to compete on price.

Winners of India’s national solar-capacity auction in December agreed to supply power for an average rate of 8.78 rupees (17 cents) a kilowatt-hour by early 2013.

In comparison, electricity from burning state-subsidized diesel costs generators about 17 rupees, according to Charanjit Singh, an energy analyst at HSBC Holdings Plc. The cheapest power comes from burning coal, which is about 4 rupees a kilowatt-hour, though users must be connected to the grid.

Bharti, Jain

Mittal’s Bharti Airtel Ltd., India’s largest mobile-phone operator, and Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd., the world’s biggest mango-puree producer and supplier to Coca-Cola, are among companies swapping diesel generators for photovoltaic modules.

While Airtel’s Bharti Infratel unit typically runs its phone towers on the cheapest, grid-delivered power, it estimates that electricity from diesel costs about four times as much.

The company upgraded 1,646 out of about 22,000 rural sites that get little or no grid-connected power to run on solar and other renewable sources, it said in an e-mail.

The government’s Telecom Regulatory Authority recommended this month that at least 75 percent of rural mobile towers and 33 percent of urban towers run on a combination of solar, wind and diesel by 2020. India’s 300,000 mobile towers account for about 4 percent of diesel use, according to HSBC’s Singh.

Jain Irrigation will complete an 8.5-megawatt solar project in March to replace diesel-fired output at its processing plant in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, CEO Anil Jain said Jan. 3. The company estimates it could recoup the cost in as little as five years.

Solar Target

India, the third-biggest energy user behind China and the U.S., has a goal to have installed 20,000 megawatts of solar- energy capacity by 2022, about equal to 18 new nuclear reactors.

That target is 10 percent of today’s total generating capacity including all energy sources. Less than 1 percent of that current power base is solar.

India’s solar industry has benefited from tax breaks and a guaranteed government buyer of its cleaner power. Diesel generation has been helped by state subsidies that make the fuel cost less than the market price to cap inflation.

The diesel price set for the capital Delhi was at 32 percent below the market rate as of Jan. 16, according to market data published by the nation’s Oil Ministry.

Factories burn diesel during blackouts to maintain a constant power source. Their “huge” warehouses and empty rooftops make them a “prime candidate” for solar power, said Hari Manoharan, an analyst at Energy Alternatives India. Indian manufacturers are losing more than 432 billion rupees a year as a result of power failures, Manoharan said in a December report.

GTL, Acme

GTL Infrastructure Ltd., a Mumbai-based owner of 32,000 phone towers, said it’s saving 56,000 liters of diesel a year after installing solar panels. Acme Telepower Ltd., a Gurgaon- based company converting sites for Viom Networks Ltd. and Bharti, estimates the panels can cut the diesel running time of a rural tower to eight hours a day from 22, it said Jan. 10.

India charges the highest power prices to industrial and commercial consumers such as factories, mines and malls, and gives away free power to farmers for irrigation pumps. As the cost of solar falls, more businesses are deciding it makes sense, said Akhilesh Magal, an analyst at Bridge to India.

“Things that weren’t feasible have suddenly opened up,” Magal said. “As prices drop, you suddenly see huge segments of the market open up.”

Ben wel van plan, als de prijs genoeg gezakt is x aantal zonnepanelen te kopen. Zonder subsidie zijn ze gewoonweg te duur, alhoewel de prijzen redelijk zakken. Zit ook te wachten op een technologische doorbraak dat het rendement van de panelen flink omhooggaat.

Als de solar boeren een All-in instalatie aanbieden waren ze allang rendabel .De over capaciteit die de zonne cellen maken gaat op het net met korting of in de grond .
Perslucht is het antwoord laat een generator draaien op teveel geproduceerde stroom en anders om bij teweinig stroom het enigste wat je nodig hebt is een sterke tank om de gecomprimeerde lucht op te slaan .En een progamma die de kleppen aanstuurt zoveel vraag zoveel lucht bij moderne combie ketels betaat dat al zoveel flow zoveel gas .Kan ook LUCHT zijn, nobel prijs zal wel weer iemand mee gaan lopen .

Ultra-efficiënte zonnecellen door 'light management'

23 februari 2012 om 15:36 uur - Utrecht

Light management structuren op een zonnecel verhogen het rendement

Een spectrum splitting structuur stuurt de verschillende kleuren van de zon naar de bijpassende zonnecel.

Lang is gedacht dat het rendement van zonnecellen niet hoger kon zijn dan 34 procent. Een thermodynamische limiet is verantwoordelijk voor deze praktische beperking. Door echter het licht in de zonnecel op een slimme manier te managen is een rendement van 70 procent haalbaar.

Hoe deze spectaculaire toename mogelijk is beschrijven prof.dr. Albert Polman, directeur van het FOM-instituut AMOLF, en zijn collega prof.dr. Harry Atwater van het California Institute of Technology in een commentary artikel in het tijdschrift Nature Materials.

Energie verloren

Een zonnecel zet zonlicht om in elektrische stroom. Dat is echter geen efficiënt proces: in een conventionele zonnecel van silicium gaat een groot deel van de energie van het licht verloren. Blauw en groen licht worden voor minder dan de helft in stroom omgezet en infrarood licht van de zon wordt zelfs helemaal niet door de zonnecel geabsorbeerd. Het hoogst gerealiseerde rendement door een silicium zonnecel is slechts 27 procent.

Licht dat niet in de zonnecel wordt omgezet leidt tot thermodynamische wanorde in de zonnecel en daarmee tot een verlaging van de elektrische spanning. Het maximaal haalbare rendement, de zogenoemde Shockley-Queisser limiet, blijft daarom steken op 34 procent. Ook het inefficiënt opsluiten van licht en defecten in het kristallijne zonnecelmateriaal zorgen voor energieverlies.

Uitgekiende nanostructuren

Door het licht in de zonnecel op een slimmere manier te managen is het mogelijk een groot deel van deze problemen op te lossen. Met uitgekiende, op de zonnecel geprinte nanostructuren kan het licht beter worden opgesloten. Daarbij voorkomt het gebruik van superschone halfgeleiders ook de problemen met defecten. Polman en Atwater beschrijven in hun artikel een aantal recepten waarmee de verbeteringen te verwezenlijken zijn.

Albert Polman: "De zonnecelwereld is erg conservatief. Men gaat er van uit dat alleen extreem simpele zonnecellen goedkoop te fabriceren zijn. Maar als je een rendement van meer dan vijftig procent kunt halen, dan mag een zonnecel ook wat kosten. Met zonnepanelen met een hoger rendement heb je veel minder ruimte nodig voor installatie, omdat je er minder nodig hebt om hetzelfde rendement te bereiken. Dat scheelt kosten van de grond, de installatie en de infrastructuur. Met een iets complexere zonnecel wordt het mogelijk alle kleuren van de zon efficiënt in stroom om te zetten. Een rendement van zeventig procent is haalbaar."

Het artikel 'Photonic design principles for ultrahigh-efficiency photovoltaics' door Albert Polman en Harry Atwater, verscheent op 21 februari 2012 in Nature Materials. Polmans groep publiceerde ook een artikel in Nature Communications over een nieuw type antireflectiecoating voor zonnecellen op basis van silicium nanodeeltjes. Daarnaast verscheen in Nature Photonics een review van een App voor zonnecelonderzoek die de groep ontwikkelde voor de iPhone.

Baosteel Solar Energy demonstration project starts

Baosteel Co Ltd Energy Center Building 130-kilowatt photovoltaic system demonstration project is official launched. It marks that Baosteel has taken a substantial step in new energy technologies with green solar energy as the mainstream direction. This is also Baosteel specific action in practising environmental management strategy, accelerating green energy technological application, and promoting the development of Baosteel green industry.

In recent years, as coal and other raw fuel prices are rising and so does the power generation cost. What with Baosteel surging electricity consumption and the increase in purchased power cost, Baosteel begins to explore the application of new energy technologies. This year, coinciding with the country promotion of the 2012 "Golden Sun demonstration project, Baosteel takes this opportunity to carry out solar photovoltaic pilot project and try to use clean and renewable energy.

2012 "Golden Sun" demonstration project is the nation's specific action in promoting photovoltaic industry progress and large-scale development, fostering strategic emerging industries and supporting photovoltaic technology demonstration application in various areas and its key technologies' industrialization. It is intended to be completed in 2-3 years. The projects included in the "Golden Sun" demonstration project can receive financial support.

Baosteel has inherent advantages in carrying out new energy technologies such as solar energy: Baosteel electricity load is high, the electricity converted from solar energy can be directly used for plant production and there is no electricity surplus. Baosteel has large factory roofs and the equipment installation conditions are good. Once implemented, the scale effect is obvious. As the pilot of the Golden Sun" demonstration project in the steel industry, by carrying out solar technology, Baosteel will make due contributions in leading the whole society in the new energy and new technology application and it will help enhance corporate social image.

Energy Center Building 130-kilowatt photovoltaic system demonstration project will be implemented through the contract energy management channel and will be put into operation in May this year. A 380 volt grid-connected photovoltaic power generation system will be built on Energy Environmental Protection Department Energy Center steel-concrete roof. It uses polycrystalline silicon solar modules, with 130 kilowatts of installed power and 120,000 kwh of annual power generation. It is expected that during 25 years of full life cycle 3000000 kwh can be generated, 1050 tons of standard coal can be saved and 2600 tons of carbon dioxide emission can be reduced.

Debacle dreigt voor paneleninstallateur Solar Total - media

AMSTERDAM (Dow Jones)--Installateur van zonnepanelen Solar Total uit Elst is in zwaar weer gekomen, meldt het Financieele Dagblad maandag.

Na de surseance voor de Venlose zonnepanelenmaker Scheuten Solar en de dreigende sluiting van Nuons zonnefoliebedrijf Helianthos dreigt dit het nieuwste debacle te worden voor de zonne-energie sector, aldus de krant.

Rabobank heeft in december Solar Total naar zich toegetrokken en ondergebracht bij zijn tak met private equity. Er wordt nu een toekomstpad uitgestippeld voor het bedrijf, met 500 medewerkers en een jaaromzet van circa EUR170 miljoen.

De Nederlandse zonne-energiesector heeft er moeite mee op te boksen tegen massaproductie in China, waardoor prijzen voor zonnecellen met wel 80% en die van panelen met 50% omlaag zijn gekomen.

Solar Total legde voorraden aan, vooruitlopend op gunstige Franse en Britse regelgeving die er niet kwam. Hierop moest het bedrijf de voorraden met EUR15 miljoen afwaarderen, schoot het eigen vermogen richting nul en rezen betalingsproblemen.

De oprichters, van wie Kees Onstein het meest op de voorgrond trad, zijn hun belang van zo'n 60% kwijtgeraakt, vermeldt het FD.
