Electricity is one of the most crucial resources that drives any given nation’s growth and development. The latest Sustainable Development Goals report indicates Africa still has a high deficit in electricity generation. Concentrating solar power seems to be a potential option to fill the deficit. That is because most of the components of concentrating solar power plants are readily available on the African market at affordable prices, and there are qualified local persons to build the plants. Pilot micro-concentrating solar power plants have been implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa and have shown promising results that could be expanded and leveraged for large-scale electricity generation. An assessment of a pilot concentrating solar power plant in the sub-region noticed one noteworthy obstacle that is the failure of the tracking system to reduce the operating energy cost of running the tracking control system and improve the multifaceted heliostat focusing behavior. This paper highlights the energy situation and the current development in concentrating solar power technology research in Africa. The paper also presents a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art solar tracking systems for central receiver systems to illustrate the current direction of research regarding the design of low-cost tracking systems in terms of computational complexity, energy consumption, and heliostat alignment accuracy.

Short Term Forecasting

Recently, renewable generation plays an increasingly important role in the energy balance. Solar energy is developing at a rapid pace, while the solar power plants output depends on weather conditions. Solar power plant output short-term forecasting is an urgent issue. The future electricity generation qualitative forecasts allow electricity producers and network operators to actively manage the variable capacity of solar power plants, and thereby to optimally integrate the solar resources into the country's overall power system. The article presents one of the possible approaches to the solution of the short-term forecasting problem of a solar power plant output.

Abstract. Downward-facing shadow cameras might play a major role in future energy meteorology. Shadow cameras directly image shadows on the ground from an elevated position. They are used to validate other systems (e.g. all-sky imager based nowcasting systems, cloud speed sensors or satellite forecasts) and can potentially provide short term forecasts for solar power plants. Such forecasts are needed for electricity grids with high penetrations of renewable energy and can help to optimize plant operations. In this publication, two key applications of shadow cameras are briefly presented.

The world’s electricity generation has increased with renewable energy technologies such as solar (solar power plant), wind energy (wind turbines), heat energy, and even ocean waves. Iran is in the best condition to receive solar radiation due to its proximity to the equator (25.2969° N). In 2020, Iran was able to supply only 900 MW (about 480 solar power plants and 420 MW home solar power plants) of its electricity demand from solar energy, which is very low compared to the global average. Yazd, Fars, and Kerman provinces are in the top ranks of Iran, with the production of approximately 68, 58, and 47 MW using solar energy, respectively. Iran also has a large area of vacant land for the construction of solar power plants. In this article, the amount of electricity generation using solar energy in Iran is studied. In addition, the construction of a 10 MW power plant in the city of Sirjan is economically and technically analyzed. The results show that with US$16.14 million, a solar power plant can be built in the Sirjan region, and the initial capital will be returned in about four years. The results obtained using Homer software show that the highest maximum power generation is in July.

Recently there is significant increase in the installed capacity of solar power plants in Russia. Thereby there are issues of solar power plants owners information support for participation in wholesale electricity market. The paper describes the experience of short term forecasting system practical implementation. The system is proposed for forecasting the solar power plant generation “a day ahead” as a part of the software for automatic meter reading systems “Energosfera”. The short-term forecasting program modules structure, key parameters and characteristics used during the forecasting process description is presented.

<p><em>Electricity is a basic requirement in carrying out activities. However, over time, the electricity needs to increase but the availability of electricity is still stagnant. So that the necessary innovation of electricity generation. Solar power plants (PLTS) can be a solution to this problem. PLTS tends to require extensive land, therefore the idea of utilizing the reservoir as a PLTS location. In this penelitin selected Reservoir Bening / Widas as PLTS location. The calculation of the extent of the permit puddle needs to be done to find out how much PLTS design can be built. Furthermore, it is necessary to calculate the energy generated as well as economic feasibility analysis. The results of this study indicate that the area of permit inundation in the Bening / Widas Reservoir is 944893 m2 and PLTS which can be built as many as 20 modules with a design area of 1 module PLTS is 8000 m². The energy produced by 20 PLTS modules within 1 year is 19668.52 MWh. </em></p>

Electricity generation by wind and solar power plants (WPP and SPP) is characterized by the uncertainty of the time and generation volumes, and does not correlate with the demand determined by the graph of daily electric load. By using of the ORIRES optimization model, the integration effects associated with various scenarios of interstate power grid expansion are calculated. The stochastic generation of WPP and SPP creates a certain variation in the model solutions, but does not affect to the total integration effects. The article presents the calculations carried out on a large number of variations for wind and solar power generation. The stability (constancy) of total integration effects is shown, despite the stochastic generation of WPP and SPP in the considered energy power systems.
