Solutions for RenEn deployments

• Public Private Partnership to implement national programs for achieving

RenEn targets

• Policy and Regulations to create a business-friendly environment, the pre-

requisite for RenEn deployment

• Training and Capacity Building to contribute to local economic and social

development and to create the best conditions for attracting investments

collaborations at academic & industrial levels

promote Research, Education in the RenEn

jobs & business

EUROSUNMED – Summary of expected outcomes

• WP1 & WP5: Development of inorganic thin film solar cells &

modules at low cost and compatible with extreme conditions

• WP2 & WP5: Advanced/improved heliostats and identification

of an optimized decoupled combined cycle for storage.

• WP3: Strategies for power balancing for grids in Morocco &

Egypt.

WP 1 – PHOTOVOLTAICS

Main goal: Developing CZTS/Si tandem cells & mini-modules

Leaders of WP1 – PV Participants in WP1 – PV

WP2 – Concentrated Solar Power

Leaders of WP2 – CSP Participants in WP2 – CSP

Main goals: Developing generation of solar tower power plants based in

the use of decoupled Brayton and Rankine combined cycles

WP2 – Concentrated Solar Power

1. New cost-effective heliostat concept.

2. Optimized heliostat field layouts.

3. Protective/optical coatings for harsh environments.

4. New receiver concepts for high temperature operation.

5. Advanced combined cycles for high efficiency conversion.

6. New storage configurations and materials for high temperature.

7. Simulation models to optimize the such solar tower plants.

EUROSUNMED – Training/Dissemination/Roadmap

• WP4: Training of students/researchers in the field of RenEn.

(54 exchanges with labs work, 600 students teached on RenEn)

• WP6: Synergy creation amongst the project partners, leading

to better visibility of their research & development work.

(more than 25 joint publications in journals, 35 conferences; 2

patents; organization of 4 workshops, 2 schools,)

• WP7: Development of a Roadmap, creation of an EU/MPC

Associated International Lab and launching an EUMed Master

Degree on RenEn.
