MENA Hybrid Solar System

 

HYMENSO aims to support the implementation of solar energy systems in the MENA region by following a holistic approach covering aspects of cost, reliability and dispatchability. A combination of PV (Photovoltaics) and CSP (Concentrating Solar Power) systems is investigated, in order to harvest the advantages of both systems.

 
 

 

 

 

 

Main scientific objectives:

 

• Create a data base of relevant local conditions for CSP and PV plants, such as meteorological data, industry capacity, energy demand, current energy production, and grid capacity of the participating MENA countries.

 

• Develop country specific solar energy roadmaps and concepts for combination of PV and CSP.

 

• Enhance local participation through capacity building and dissemination of results.

 

• Produce specifications of hybrid systems, to be applied on future prototypes and demonstrators to be developed in the continuity of this project.

 

• Demonstrate available subsystems in pilot applications.
