Solar Millennium Group – We are developing the future

Experts for Solar Power

Solar Millennium AG is a successful pioneer with a long track-record thanks to the early entry

into the market (1998) is focused on development of renewable energy technologies and

specialized on the realization of CSP plants developed the first parabolic trough power plants in Europe (Andasol), the first

modern parabolic trough solar field of Egypt and started construction of Blythe (California), world’s largest solar power plant (received conditional commitment in April 2011)

is a founding member of the Dii and since a long time involved in the development of renewable energies in the MENA region

Proven technology: parabolic troughsThe solar radiation is concentrated onto an absorber tube, situated at the focal line of the trough, and transferred into heat which is used to operate a steam turbine generating electricity.

Commercially operated plants in California since 1984 have generated revenues of roughly US-$ 3 billion.

Parabolic trough power plants can be operated as pure solar power plants or in hybrid systems, with wet or dry cooling, depending on local needs.

Dispatchability: integration of thermal storage allow electricity production even after sunset

Technology


CSP provides supply stability

CSP the only commercially available renewable energy which contributes to security of supply and grid stability

Can cover specific load curves and peak/average loads using storage units

Is complementary to photovoltaics and wind

Typical demand for electricity in sunny countries


Peak record19 July Juli 2010 1:26 pm41.318 MW per hour

Ideal for intermediate and peak load: electricity demand Spain

Proven and flexible Technology


Hybrid power plant Kuraymat: first reference project in EgyptKuraymat (Egypt), 150 MWe ISCC plant including 61 MWth Operation of the solar field began at the end of 2010Total investment: € 250 million, approx. 30% for the 130,000 m² solar fieldEngineering, supervision and supply of key components for the solar fieldAfter start of operations, Flagsol and Orascom will operate the solar part of the power plant for two years before ultimately handing it over to the owner NREA


Local added value created by Kuraymat project

Local sourcing for parabolic trough collector steel structure Local assembly of collectors Local assembly of the solar field about 60 percent of the value for

the solar field was generated locally Pipe works and wiring of the solar field Civil Works

Solar Millennium developed its market strategy to a win-win-situation through cooperating closely with regional partners (e.g. Orascom)

Thus creating local jobs with positive social and economic effects especially to economically weak regions.


Morocco is about 97 percent dependent on energy imports Plan Solaire Marocain: construction of solar power plants

with a total capacity of 2,000 MW by 2020, 14% of the total electricity capacity by 2020

The consortium with Orascom Construction Industries, Evonik Steag GmbH and Solar Millennium AG is one of four bidding consortia to be pre-qualified for the first tender phase by MASEN, a 125-160 MW Parabolic Through Solar Plant with Thermal Storage at Ouarzazate

NEXT: Ouarzazate - in the race for a tender


3x50 MW = 150 MW Total financing volume approx. EUR 1bn Solar power for more than half a million people Andasol 3: start of operation expect. in summer 2011; Co-

investors: Stadtwerke München (Munich City Utilities), RWE Innogy, Rhein Energie, Ferrostaal

the first parabolic trough power plant in Europe working with thermal storage

Blythe, California: 1 Gigawatt (1GW) The world’s largest solar power plant solar power for more than 300,000 US households Construction on Blythe 1 - 2 (2 x 250 MW) started,

received Conditional Commitment in April 2011 Blythe 1 - 4: 1,120 loops* 179,200 absorber pipes

2.15 million mirrors 192,000 tons of steel

2,240 hectares of land

more than 1,000 jobs, more than 1 million tons of CO2 emissions saved p.a.

Solar Millennium US projects (2 GW in California and Nevada) will feature dry cooling technology that uses 90% less water than water-cooled design

CSP without storage, with dry cooling: Blythe

* HelioTrough technology


After SkalET, HelioTrough is the second collector generation developed by technology subsidiary Flagsol together with its partners

Larger dimensions and more efficient assembling to reduce costs substantially

Improving competitiveness Test loop in permanent operation in commercial power

plant in Southwest USA since November 2009 Implementation into Solar Millennium’s solar power

plants in California and Nevada planned

*Awarded CSP innovation prize at 2010 CSPtoday Conference in San Francisco

Improved efficiency: HelioTrough

HelioTrough – the most innovative* collector design of the CSP industry is the result of continuous R&D activities within the Solar Millennium Group
