Why CSP



CSP adds value to regulators and utilities through increasing the security of our energy supply

CSP diversifies the local energy mix

- Reduction of dependency on petroleum, natural gas, uranium

CSP is an enabler for other renewable technologies in the energy mix

- By offering dispatchable energy that can backup wind and PV

CSP helps to offset local fossil fuel consumption

- By offering a cost effective alternative to conventional power plants

Why CSP? Energy Security

6


Other renewables are not dispatchable but need reserve capacity in the grid

For a PV or wind plant, the cost of the back-up system to grant firm capacity is not included in the PV system’s Capex and Opex

Non-dispatchable renewable plant Back-up plant

7



CSP offers dispatchable peak power

For a CSP plant, the cost of required back-up system to grant firm capacity is already included in the CSP system’s Capex and Opex

Dispatchability : Main advantage of CSP over other renewable energies

CSP technology adds value to utilities by generating energy on demand

Solar radiation vs. demand vs. generation

Electricity demand Solar Radiation CSP plant generation

Solar plant in Spain with storage vs. utility system load - Winter period

Thermal energy stored. Released at later point in time

Heat storage

Hybridization

Higher efficiency

Lower emissions

Why CSP? Dispatchability

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Basic main local key conditions to consider for successful implementation

Meteorological conditions:

Accurate meteorological data needed (DNI, wind speed, direction, etc). Deployment underway.

Reduced visibility (dust, humidity). Measurements also needed.

Taylor fit designs and adapted O&M:

Sand storms. Abrasion. Hail. Stow positions.

Cleaning frequency.

Limited water resource. Dry cooling.

Elevated temperatures. Example: Abengoa Solar HCPV.

Local content:

Demonstrated industrial local content: production, manufacturing, assembling.

R&D partnerships.

Abengoa is a technology leader in the four key areas within Solar

Tower Trough Storage HCPV

Abengoa’s advantage lies on technology

Collaboration with key research institutions and companies worldwide

More than 20% of the employees dedicated to R&D activities

Two main R&D locations: Denver, Colorado and Seville, Spain
