IEC-PTB Workshop 12 October 2016 Braunschweig, Germany

Introduction • IEC is a global organization that

publishes consensus-based International Standards and manages four Conformity Assessment Systems

• IEC, ISO and ITU are the three organizations that prepare International Standards to comply with the World Trade Organization Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade

• 168 countries • The standards development

process ensures transparency about the requirements standardized and their approval (one vote per country)

IEC in figures

Why? • Multiplicity and convergence of technologies (mobile phones…)

• Large-scale infrastructures (Smart Cities, Smart Grid, Internet of Things, …)

• Need to address complexity and interoperability

Objectives • Build larger collaboration platforms that bring on board the work of

experts from other standardization organizations

• Systems need top down and bottom up thinking and standardization

Implementation • Systems Evaluation Groups (SEG): Temporary open group that identifies,

scope of a system, stakeholders that are concerned, gaps and overlaps in standards and develop systems architecture

• Systems Committees (SyC): develop Systems Standards with the help of IEC Technical Committees as well as external expertise

The IEC systems approach

More on the IEC web site

SEG 6 - Non-conventional distribution networks / microgrids • Address all types of microgrids, incl. for cities/communities,

for disaster recovery, to prevent black-outs at peak- consumption, for broad electricity access, etc.

• Identifies existing standards, gaps and overlaps, stakeholders • Proposes a global strategy for the IEC SEG 4 - Low Voltage Direct Current applications, distribution and safety for use in developed and developing economies • Eliminate d.c., a.c., d.c. conversion losses and increase

usability of d.c. power generators and d.c. power storage (solar and wind energy, batteries)

• Enable electricity access

SEGs and renewables

Renewable energies covered by • TC 4: Hydraulic turbines

• TC 82: Solar photovoltaic energy systems (IEC 61215, IEC 62257)

• TC 88: Wind turbines (IEC 61400)

• TC 105: Fuel cell technologies (IEC 62282)

• TC 114: Marine energy Wave, tidal and other water current converters (IEC 62600)

• TC 117: Solar thermal electric plants

Integration of renewable energies into the grid • TC 8: Systems aspects for electrical energy supply

• TC 57: Power systems management and associated information exchange

• TC 120: Electrical Energy Storage (EES) Systems

Egypt where it all begins

• The ENC was established as a Full Member of the IEC in 1969 (decree no 1619) and has participated in all annual General Meetings.

• ENC is a participant member in 83 TCs and observer member in 10 TCs

• ENC is supporting and marketing IEC International Standardization

inside Egypt to be a base for all the Egyptian Manufacturers.

• With regards to the Renewable Energy Activities, Egypt is one of the founding members of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and hosted IRENA first annual meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt in 2008.

• In March 2016, ENC hosted the successful Second Africa Smart Grid

Forum in Cairo with about 1000 participants from 42 Countries.

About the Egyptian National Committee (ENC)

• One of the most important recommendations was allocating Fund, Finance and Technical Assistance for the Renewable Energy Systems and to developing the grid to be suitable for this concept

Second Africa Smart Grid Forum (Cairo 2016)

• Egypt is one of the highest power installed capacity in Africa and the Middle East, and a pioneer in renewable energies.

• Next slide explains the current situation and future development of statistics in electrical energy, including renewable energy.

Electricity sector in Egypt

Thermal (NG, HFO);

90,50%

Renewable energy; 9,50%

Coal; 0,00%

2016

Thermal (NG,

HFO); 57,00%

Renewable energy; 23,00%

Coal; 20,00%

2022

Electricity Generation Capacity Mix from 2016 to 2022

• A new law for Electricity and Renewable Energy (RE) was published in 2015, and it allows many privileges and incentives to invest in RE in Egypt, for example, Feed-In- Tariff to strength the regulator and gradually establish aliberlizable market.

• Approve standard format for Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) and lunch Reference For Prequalification (RFP)for wind and solar projects.

• Publish a 5 year energy efficiency plan with targets and agenda.

• Establish Energy Efficiency and Clean Funds to easy Independent Power Producer (IPP) financing and guarantee.

• Egyptian strategy aims to raise the contribution of Renewables Energies by 23% of the total electricity generation by year 2020.

Key steps to move forward with the energy strategy

First Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant in the world set up in 1913 in Egypt at Maadi by Frank Shuman (1862-1918), US inventor from Philadelphia.

First solar-generating plant in the world set up 1913 in Maadi – Egypt

Cairo is 30 degree north, and is by no means the best place to put up a sun power plant. Five 60-metre-long parabolic "troughs", mirror-lined heat absorbers aligned to track the sun's progress across the sky, to concentrate the rays onto five matte-black boilers, which then produced sufficient steam to pump almost 23,000 liters of water a minute.

Shuman had concluded arrangements with the English and the German Governments to take up the sun power proposition in the tropics, and both sent engineers to test the plant which has been in operation for two years at Cairo, Egypt.

The Egyptian RE strategy is targeting 23% of

the electricity generation by year 2022 as

follows:

Wind 9600 12%

Solar 4000 5%

Hydro 4800 6%

Capacity (MW)

Is Renewable Energy ready to be integrated into Egypt's Electricity Supply? What are the additional development needed?

RE is fully ready to be integrated into the electricity supply mix. This is very much controlled by:

1. The technical capability of the network. 2. The investment competitiveness on the supply

side. 3. The development of a mature set of regulations,

addressing the network as well as market rules.
