Concentrator Photovoltaic Power Plant in Wadi El Natrun
Concentrator Photovoltaic Power Plant in Wadi El Natrun
The document discusses the installation of a Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) Power Plant in Wadi El Natrun, Egypt, as part of the NACIR Project. This initiative focuses on European cooperation with Mediterranean partner countries in the field of concentrating photovoltaic technologies.
The project involves the installation of a 40 kWp stand-alone CPV Power Plant by Soitec, aimed at supporting water pumping and irrigation. The plant is located in Wadi El Natrun, Egypt, and was installed in 2010 for the National Water Research Center.
The installation includes 5 Soitec CX-P6 Systems with a total capacity of 40 kWp. The CPV systems are part of an integrated setup that includes batteries, irrigation pumps, and a desalination facility.
The Soitec CPV Concentrix™ technology is used in an island system configuration. The system includes a storage solution that powers an irrigation water pump and a desalination factory. The electricity consumption is managed and supervised by Fraunhofer ISE.
This demonstration project highlights the potential of CPV technology in renewable energy applications, particularly in regions with high solar insolation like Egypt. It underscores the importance of international cooperation in advancing sustainable energy solutions.
