"... Egypt has the world's first solar thermal hybrid power plant integrates
The combined cycle gas and steam generation capable of supplying 150 megawatts and energy needs of a population of about 250,000 people.
The English group Iberdrola in Egypt is completing construction of the world's first power plant fueled by gas and energy Solar, a project that can be a milestone in the future of renewable energy. The hybrid power plant is being built in an arid expanse of Kuraymat population, some 95 kilometers south of Cairo, which uses gas resources of Egypt, the sun of the desert and the Nile water needed for steam-powered generator .
"This project will be a benchmark for what is out of here will be an encouragement to continue in other countries," Efe said the project manager, engineer Iberdrola Juan Ignacio RodrÃguez de la Fuente.
The project is one of the most modern plants, power generation combined cycle gas hybrid solar energy in the world, and be able to provide 150 megawatts (MW) of electricity. "It's a prototype, a precedent in many Eastern countries are showing interest," added De la Fuente, and recalled that one of these countries is Saudi Arabia, the world's largest producer of oil, whose Energy Minister was visiting the plant .
The hybrid central Gassol of Kyraymat began to rise on January 16, 2008, a period of 30 months of construction and start-mark end on July 16, 2010, over a period of two months of integration with the solar field month followed by a test of reliability.
is in play an investment of 150 million euros financed by the Bank for International Cooperation of Japan, the Environment Fund and the World Bank Egyptian National Bank.
project is a turnkey delivery, customer will be New Renewable Energy Authority (NREA), Ministry of Electricity of the Egyptian government.
Never before had tried to integrate into a single central gas and heat from the sun. Although there are two other thermal power plants being built in Morocco and Algeria, Egypt will be the first to come into operation.
The integrated hybrid power generation combined cycle gas and steam, with two gas turbines and steam with a capacity of 74 megawatts and 80 megawatts electric, respectively, supported by the heat input generated by a solar field of 1,900 square meters of parabolic solar panels covering an area of \u200b\u200b60 hectares in the middle of nowhere. Kuraymat
The power is capable of meeting the energy needs of a population of about 250,000 people, generating approximately 850 GW / h, of which 33 GW / h are supplied by solar power.
While the end of the plant is scheduled for July 16 this year, the plant will begin several months later, in October, when they complete the training of operators and after the test of reliability ... "
