International Energy Agency (IEA) recently released a report that as a direct and appropriate government support, the United States in the desert utility-scale solar power production, there would be a global leader. Report, by supporting research and development, the adoption of compulsory “buy back” price, a binding renewable energy portfolio standards, U.S. and other sunny countries could speed up the process of reducing costs, and this is a large-scale deployment of poly thermal solar (CSP) plants are necessary conditions. According to the British “Guardian” reported that the Director-General of the International Energy Agency, Nobuo Tanaka (NubuoTanaka), said: “For active and effective policy, this decade is essential.” International Energy Agency pointed out that if incentives are in place, by 2020, solar power plant investment costs can be decreased by 30% to 40%. Prospects As the U.S. Senate to consider a new climate change bill, at least one thing sure: never a lack of available land. The desert southwestern United States could theoretically provide electricity for the nation. However, there is solar energy to provide electricity for the United States less than 1%, and half of them gather heat from solar power installations. With 30 years of CSP technology has been very effective, unlike sunlight directly into electricity, photovoltaic technology, the technology used by hundreds of mirrors to focus solar array composed. Mirror will be amplified several hundred times the solar heating boilers produce steam to drive turbines generate electricity. International Energy Agency expects solar power industry will solve the problem overnight. The report said the “not too distant future,” solar thermal power plant will be able to gather day and night continuous power generation, new storage technology will allow the “solar power plant able to compete with conventional fuel power plants.” Storage technology will accumulate during the day the energy released during the night or at peak periods dispatch to the national grid. Nobuo Tanaka said: “The stability of poly thermal solar power plant capacity and flexibility, will help network operators to integrate a larger number of solar photovoltaic and wind power and other variable renewable electricity.” Far as the Midwest in the United States, like building wind farms, solar power will ultimately require long-distance transmission lines for large-scale investment, which will generate the electricity transmission desert areas to urban centers. Installation costs will ultimately determine the development of CSP technology. International Energy Agency said that if construction costs drop in 2020, the technology in the peak and intermediate load electricity generation costs and the cost of very traditional way. For the basic terms of load capacity, CSP Technology costs in 2025 and coal by 2030 rather. CSP technology is receiving increasing attention “Guardian” article, said the report findings include too many assumptions: increased competition, increased plant size, equipment, mass production, technological advances and the global price for carbon set. Most importantly, the financial sector to power generation technologies on the CPS confidence. 80s last century, the United States for the first time concern about CSP technology. As federal and state tax incentives and support for mandatory power purchase contracts, from 1984 to 1991, the world’s first solar thermal power plants began to gather in California to run. But with the decline in fossil fuel costs and promote clean energy development, the political will is also decreased. Out of climate change and dependence on foreign energy concerns, the current CSP technology to regain the U.S. government attention. U.S. Department of Energy has set a target, trying in 2015 to CSP technology compared with fossil fuels at competitive prices, and the targets than even the International Energy Agency’s planning ahead. In February this year, the U.S. Department of Energy as BrightSource Energy has provided nearly 14 billion dollars in loan guarantees to support the construction of a 400-megawatt solar thermal power plants together. This is America’s first together in 20 years of solar thermal power generation facilities, is expected to become the world’s largest solar energy project. This month, the U.S. Department of Energy for the four CSP technology start-ups offer 62 million U.S. dollars in R & D funds to help them to advanced technology to market. (1 U.S. dollar equals 6.83 yuan) Has been on the increasing demand for CSP technology. According to the California Energy Commission data, only in California, United States Bureau of Land Management will receive a 34 poly thermal solar power plant construction applications, an area of more than 121.4 thousand hectares, with a total installed capacity of up to 24,000 megawatts. The International Energy Agency said earlier this year, the global power generation capacity of the CPS is only about 1,000 MW. The United States ratified the progress is still an obstacle. In California, federal or state environmental analysis of land take from 18 to 24 months. To solve this problem, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management has streamlined poly thermal solar power plant approval process, 11 projects are in rapid review, it will be approved before December. International Energy Agency said that by mid-century, CSP technology will provide 11.3% of global electricity in North America will become the largest producer and consumer regions, Africa, India and the Middle East region will also join them. Europe, North Africa, the development of CSP technology has the potential, the International Energy Agency believes that the area “rich solar energy resources, building a large extent offset the additional cost of long distance transmission lines.” Desert Technology Action Plan In fact, the “Desert Technology Action Plan” (Desertec) of the CSP technology is of great significance. The project cost 50 billion U.S. dollars, plans to build large solar power plants Sahara, and in 2050, through the high voltage direct current transmission lines to provide 15% of Europe’s electricity. Although the high voltage transmission line construction is still facing technical and financial challenges, the International Energy Agency said that a number of practical incentives already in place. The report said: “At present, France and Spain on a large-scale solar power to enforce the ground electricity price policy, will largely offset the cost of solar power in North Africa.” Baoliao Hotline :020-22374965 Submission E-mail : hellomily@qq.com Upcoming Events: 2010 5 28 Day? 29 May 2010 in Guangzhou, China heat pump, solar Fair “Hailin Cup” 2010 China Top Ten Brands Award heating heating industry
