  1. GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES FOR SOLAR POWER What are the perspectives for solar energy? What are the successful business models and stimulus? H. Serhan Süzer October 29, 2013

  2. Content • ENERGY DEMAND - CHALLENGES • World Population at its peak, still increasing • Energy Consumption increasing at an increasing rate • Energy Consumption per Capita • ENERGY SUPPLY - SOLUTIONS • What are the major differences between Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy? • Solar Power • Baseload Issue • Case Study: Desertec • Solar Resources in EUMENA • Wind Resources in EUMENA • Examples from 4 Countries: Germany, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Turkey • Solar Power could power the Entire World • Energy Vision for All Countries

  3. World Population at its peak, still increasing Figure 1. World Population, based primarily Angus Maddison estimates, interpolated where necessary.

  4. Energy Consumption increasing at an increasing rate Figure 2. World Energy Consumption by Source, Based on Vaclav Smil estimates from Energy Transitions: History, Requirements and Prospects together with BP Statistical Data for 1965 and subsequent

  5. Energy Consumption mostly Fossil Fuels Figure 3. Per capita world energy consumption, calculated by dividing world energy consumption shown in Figure 1 by population estimates, based on Angus Maddison data.

  6. IMPORTANT QUESTION: What are the major differences between Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy? Democracy, Peace, Carbon Footprint

  7. Solar Power • PV (Photovoltaic) • Utility Scale • Crystalline • Thin Film • Distributed Generation (mostly Crystalline)

  8. Solar Power • Solar Thermal • Water Heaters • CSP (Concentrating Solar Power) • Utility Scale (for power generation) • Parabolic Trough • Tower • Linear Fresnel • Stirling Dish • Hybrid Systems • Micro CSP • Cooling & Heating • Steam Use • CPV (Concentrating Photovoltaic)

  9. BASELOAD ISSUE Baseload to be provided by Solar Power • Heat Storage • Power Storage Baseload to be provided by Other Renewables • Biomass/Biofuel • Geothermal • Hydro

  10. CASE STUDY: DESERTEC • DESERTEC is a project supported by a foundation of the same name and the consortium Dii (Desertec industrial initiative) created in Germany as a limited liability company (Gmbh).The project aims at creating a global renewable energy plan based on the concept of harnessing sustainable power from sites where renewable sources of energy are more abundant and transferring it through high-voltage direct current transmission to consumption centers. • Europe and MENA both need a secure, affordable and clean supply of electricity. All countries benefit from access to affordable renewable energy, the creation of new industries and reduced cost of decarbonization. • The Desertec Project shows that the MENA region would be able to meet its needs for power with renewable energy, while exporting its excess power to create an export industry with an annual volume of more than €60 billion. Meanwhile, by importing desert power, Europe could save around €30/MWh.

  11. SOLAR RESOURCES IN EUMENA Figure 4shows the availability of excellent solar resourcesin MENA. Prime sites can be found everywherein the region, from the High Atlas and Tell Atlas in theMaghreb to the Asir Mountains in Saudi Arabia. Figure 4: Solar resources in the EUMENA region

  12. WIND RESOURCES IN EUMENA Less widely known, but no less important, MENA alsohas favorable wind conditions, as depicted in Figure 5. Exceptional wind potentials can be found, for example,on Morocco’s Atlantic coast and the Red Sea.Furthermore,the entire continent, stretching between thesetwo coasts, hosts attractive sites for wind power generation Figure 5: Wind resources in the EUMENA region

  13. VISIONARY COUNTRY: GERMANY • Responsibly managed Germany's phase-out of nuclear power will lead to a new reliance on renewable energy. • Germany needs 3,800 kilometersby 2022 in new power lines in order to prepare for the country's planned nuclear phase-out, the country's main grid operators announced last year. • Amid criticism that her energy revolution has stalled, Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for faster grid expansion which will cost about €20 billion over the next 10 years. The percentage of solar, wind, hydro and biomass energy in the country is expected to increase by 35 percent by 2020, as the country prepares for the phase-out of nuclear energyannounced by Chancellor Angela Merkel after the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe last year. Germany currently has an installed capacity of more than 35 GW of Solar Power.

  14. SOLAR ENERGY COULD POWER THE ENTIRE WORLD Source: Wikipedia. The red squares represent the area that would be enough for solar power plants to produce a quantity of electricity consumed by the world today, in Europe (EU-25) and Germany (De). (Data provided by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), 2005

  15. TURKEY – Economic Consequences of Energy Importation • Currentaccountdeficit Nationalexpenditure > Domesticproduction A surpluscouldhavebeenincurredifTurkey had not imported 70% of currentaccountdeficit

  16. TURKEY – Renewable Energy Law December 2012: New regulations and legislations on renewable energy production June 2013: License applications collected for the first 600 MW solar power plant. The limit for unlicensed electricity production increased from 500 kW to 1MW Regulation for unlicensed projects published in October 2013.

  17. TURKEY – Potential • Installed capacity of less than 15 MW, • Second highestsolar irradiation in Europe after Spain than Germany, • Solar Energy potential of 380 billion kWh/year, • Total Installed Capacity of 60 GW.

  18. Energy Vision for All Countries 1. %100 Renewable Energy 2. Utilizing fossil fuels as «Raw Materials» 3. Energy Efficiency, 4. City Planning and changing the arcitectural design of housing, 6. Solar Electric Vehicles to be utilized, 7. Everything can be utilized within the natural cycle and could be sustainable (excess heat), 8. Micro Grid Systems (Distributed Generation) and Inter Grid Lines 9. Full Support for all the R&D Efforts from public and private sectors.
