Due to the increasing necessity decarbonize energy generation process, installation of solar photovoltaics has experienced rapid growth in recent years. Desert locations are one most attractive sites for Photovoltaic (PV) installations since this technology relies mainly on radiation. However, exposure harsh climate conditions can significantly reduce efficiency panels. One common problems with is overheating cells and challengue find a low-cost, yet efficient technique cool PV modules. In...
Meteorological stations for solar irradiance measurements are mainly utilized resource assessment of possible sites future power plants and thermal efficiency calculation control operating plants. These consist a tracker, two pyranometers pyrheliometer (MHP) measurements. The accuracy the MHP instrumentation is usually specified to be better than 2% if cleaned on daily basis. However, soiling frequently exceeds other error influences significantly, reducing values accuracy. Due high...
In this paper we conducted an experimental study to evaluate the impact of soiling on temperature and electricity production two photovoltaic technologies (Poly-Si CdTe) under a hot semi-arid climate Morocco. For purpose, modules -from each technology-were exposed for one year where is cleaned every day other left accumulate its surface. parallel, electrical parameters, weather data were monitored using high precision instruments. Results show that Poly-Si technology highly affected by in...
This paper presents some first results of the effect dust on different solar mirror materials in Morocco. For this purpose, thirteen glass and aluminum mirrors were exposed at University Oujda (Eastern Morocco) for a period three months (from April to June). each type mirrors, one sample was installed horizontally twelve so called “mirrors sphere” four directions (North, South, East West) with tilt angles relative vertical plane: +45°(facing sky), 0° (vertical) -45° (facing ground). The...
In this study, meteorological data from sixty-two locations in MENA (the Middle East and North Africa) region have been used to simulate the technical economic performances of a 50 MWe CSP (Concentrating Solar Power) power plant with parabolic troughs technology two-tank storage system. As first step, due difference DNI (Direct Normal Irradiance) values different locations, sizing optimum solar field capacity has done for each one sites. After that, simulation electrical output conducted all...
Solar energy market is still growing in Morocco and other countries around the world. The development deployment of any solar project require a prefeasibility study before establishment plant. most important parameters influencing site selection or feasibility are radiation climatic conditions. Soiling limiting efficiency factor that drastically affect optical electrical performances plants. objective current to evaluate compare soiling impact, from an point view, on both PV CSP technologies...
With the fast-growing implementation of renewable energy projects, Morocco is positioned as a pioneer in green and sustainable development, aiming to achieve 52% its electricity production from sources by 2030. This ambitious target faces challenges due intermittent nature energy, which impacts grid stability. Hydrogen offers promising solution, but identifying most cost-effective configurations critical high investment costs. Despite growing interest systems, techno-economic analysis...
