The objective of the present work is to characterize a power plant with concentrator of Fresnel on various Algerian sites (Sahara). These sites were chosen for comparison by moving the power plant in the Algerian sites: Hassi-R’mel, Tamanrasset, Béni-Abbes, and El Oued. A technico-economic study was made to determine the various characteristics of the power plant. This study is carried out through a simulation in the hourly scale: it concerns the insolation, the system 'field', and the 'receiving' system. The results of the simulation are represented on annual average. Annual energy production and the cost per kWh are evaluated, the technico-economic results are also estimated for the same sites, and the results are compared for the purpose of site classification.

Solar Thermal Power

In the present study, a specific and simple second law based exergoeconomic model with instant access to the production costs is introduced. The model is generalized for a case study of Shiraz solar thermal power plant with parabolic collectors for nominal power supply of 500 kW. Its applications include the evaluation of utility costs such as products or supplies of production plant, the energy costs between process operations of an energy converter such as production of an industry. Also attempt is made to minimize objective function including investment cost of the equipments and cost of exergy destruction for finding optimum operating condition for such plant.
