Impact of Anthropogenic Aerosols on Solar Beam Radiation Serving CSP Fields (Heliostat) in Morocco

Abstract

A number of conferences around the world have called to make serious efforts for preserving the environment in order to reduce the aerosols with urban and industrial origin. It is worth pointing out that maximization of the reduction of aerosols in atmosphere is feasible. This allows a gain, in terms of thermal energy in solar power plants. Consequently, the assessment of heat gained by reducing anthropogenic aerosol were achieved to (-5%, -10% and -15%), resulting for each 5% reduction of anthropogenic aerosol make 1% of heat gained against the actual aerosol esteemed as 2.2 of aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 550nm conforming respectively (22.3, 44.7 and 67.4) MW in the solar of heliostat field at Ouarzazate of 1.3 km of the extreme heliostat with 144 m2 of surface for each one. The average of attenuation atmospheric between heliostats and receiver tower is found respectively (9.4%, 8.9% and 8.5%) against 9.9% in the real situation.
