Abstract

Development with the expansion of electronic devices, increased electricity consumption, and supplying the required power are some challenges involving different countries. Iran is also currently consuming in its industries that to supply electricity, it is necessary to adjust the program of various blackouts, hence the stoppage of the production of industries and mines has caused significant damage. This paper presents a comprehensive feasibility study for the construction of a 10-MW grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power plant aimed at mitigating energy deficits in Iran's iron ore mining sector, particularly during blackout periods. Utilizing HOMER software for technical simulation, the proposed solar plant is projected to generate approximately 16 million kWh annually, with 2 million kWh available during shutdowns. Financial analysis conducted through CAMFAR software indicates a payback period of 8.6 years, an internal rate of return (IRR) of 12.67%, and a net present value of $3.45 million, underscoring the project's economic viability. The plant’s capacity to compensate for the production of 66,750 tons of iron concentrate during outages underscores its potential for significant financial benefits.

小型工业10兆瓦并网光伏电站可行性评估：以伊朗为例

随着电子设备的扩大，电力消耗的增加以及所需电力的供应，发展是涉及不同国家的一些挑战。伊朗目前也在其工业中消费，为了供电，必须调整各种停电计划，因此工业和矿山的停产造成了重大损失。本文提出了一项建设10兆瓦并网光伏（PV）发电厂的综合可行性研究，旨在缓解伊朗铁矿石开采部门的能源短缺，特别是在停电期间。利用HOMER软件进行技术模拟，拟建的太阳能发电厂预计每年发电约1600万千瓦时，停工期间可发电200万千瓦时。通过CAMFAR软件进行的财务分析表明，投资回收期为8.6年，内部收益率（IRR）为12.67%，净现值为345万美元，强调了该项目的经济可行性。该厂在停运期间弥补66,750吨铁精矿生产的能力，突显了其潜在的巨大经济效益。
