DESERTEC10,000 GW FROM DESERTS BY 2050
Large-scale deployment of BSE/Luz II solar towers

“1,000 GW capacity by 2050”• The technology and component availability
– Approach to the desired technology and at market-driven quantities
• Solar energy in the desert - availability and transmission– Potentially recognized and assumed for this
presentation• Solar electricity price
– How to reduce solar electricity price to half of current state of the art trough technology, is not presented here.
3
What’s the approach?
• The BSE / Luz II way
4
Original Luz Solar Trough Design*
*Still used by many competitors
Modular Solar Field
Centralized Power Block
The 354 MW of original Luz plants have generated over 11,000 GWh of electricity worth more than $1.7 billion in revenue
5
Technology & Design Philosophy• Compete with conventional power production:
– solar steam parameters equal to conventional energy steam parameters
• Follow global market trends to minimize costs: – use available materials and
components• Implement technology as it becomes available
– Build DPT 550 plants (subcritical) as DPT SC1 technology (supercritical) is developed

1,000 GW by 2050• Major equipment items would otherwise be
produced for conventional power requirements– power block equipment including turbines– boilers
• Towers and heliostats are fabricated from plentiful, conventional materials such as steel and glass
• As an example, ~5 billion m2 of mirrors will be required for 1,000 GW
– roughly equal to one year’s glass production worldwide (2005 figures)
– But spread over 30 years, it is only 3% of the world glass market

So Why Have We Chosen Tower?• Greater thermal efficiency• Greater electrical efficiency• Lower parasitic losses• Lower capital costs• More site flexibility• Greater natural
resource efficiency
