UAEに世界最大規模 100MWの集光型太陽熱発電所（CSP)　Shams 1が完成: ソフトエネルギー

UAEに世界最大規模 100MWの集光型太陽熱発電所（CSP)　Shams 1が完成

UAE アラブ首長国連邦で100MWの集光型太陽熱発電所（CSP)　Shams 1が完成しました。集光型太陽熱発電　Concentrating Solar Power（CSP) のシステムは、アベンゴア・ソーラー Abengoa Solarのパラボリック・トラフ Parabolic Troughです。2.5平方kmの敷地に、258,000の鏡で構成された半円形のパラボラ集光鏡が768基並び、UAEの平均的な家庭20,000軒分の電力が生み出されます。

　今回のプロジェクトの資金の６億ドルは、アブダビのMasdarが60%、Totalが20%、Abengoa Solar が20%を出資したものです。建設には３年の歳月がかかりました。

　さらに順調に資金調達が行われれば、Shams 2とShams 3プロジェクトも計画されています。

"The inauguration of Shams 1, a 100 MW solar thermal plant, is a major milestone in the development and deployment of renewable energy in the Middle East.

Masdar, along with its partners, today launched Shams 1, the largest concentrated solar power plant (CSP) in operation in the world. Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy company, partnered with French energy company Total and Spain’s energy infrastructure company Abengoa. The 100 MW solar thermal project will power thousands of homes in the United Arab Emirates and displace approximately 175,000 tons of CO₂ per year. The 600 MUS$ project took three years to build.
..........
Located in the UAE’s Western Region, in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, Shams 1 was designed and developed by Shams Power Company, a joint venture between Masdar (60 percent), Total (20 percent) and Abengoa Solar (20 percent). With the addition of Shams 1, Masdar’s renewable energy portfolio accounts for almost 68 percent of the Gulf’s renewable energy capacity and nearly 10 percent of the world’s installed CSP capacity.
..........
Covering an area of 2.5 km², or 285 football fields, Shams 1 generates electricity to power 20,000 homes in the UAE. Also, because solar power is generated during peak demand, the UAE is able to reduce the need for “peak shaving” generators, which are expensive and idle most of the year.
..........
Incorporating the latest in parabolic trough technology, Shams 1 features more than 258,000 mirrors mounted on 768 tracking parabolic trough collectors. By concentrating heat from direct sunlight onto oil-filled pipes, Shams 1produces steam, which drives a turbine and generates electricity. In addition, the solar project uses a booster to heat steam as it enters the turbine to dramatically increase the cycle’s efficiency. The project also includes a dry-cooling system that significantly reduces water consumption – a critical advantage in the arid desert of western Abu Dhabi.
