Toward Implementing HH the Amir Declaration of 2% Electricity Generation by Solar Energy in 2020

Abstract

The utility solar power plants were reviewed and classified by two basic groups: direct thermal concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV). CSP as Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) of 100 MW solar power plants (SPP) is suggested and suitable to provide solar thermal power for Qatar. Although, LFC had enough experience for small projects, it is still need to work in large scale plant such as 100 MW and couple with multi effect distillation (MED) to confirm costs.

Techno-economic assessment of a multi-effect distillation plant installed for the production of irrigation water in Arica (Chile)

“…On the other hand, the usual coincidence in many locations of fresh water shortage and high isolation levels make the combination of MED processes with solar energy a perfect combination to tackle the water scarcity problem in a sustainable way. Some countries of MENA region (as Qatar, Morocco, etc) and South America (mainly Chile) are more and more promoting the use of solar energy to meet its growing energy and fresh water demands (Darwish et al, 2013;Mohtar and Darwish, 2013;Hanel and Escobar, 2013;Valenzuela et al, 2017).…”
