The solar cadastre is a mapping of a territory that highlights the solar energy that reaches the roofs over an average year. Usually financed by a local authority, this mapping is made available to the public using geographic information systems (GIS), in order to learn about the solar potential of buildings, and thus to know […]
The Solar Atlas is a platform that contains databases relating to information (maps or archived records) on the solar field (GHI, DNI, GTI, etc.) from different places around the globe. these Solar Atlases are accessible through an online web interface, we list below the most famous platforms: ✔ Solar Atlas MASEN; ✔ Global Atlas IRENA; […]
Introducing a large share of RE (Renewable Energy) into a country’s electricity mix requires long-term planning. For example, Morocco’s energy ambitions are sizeable. The share of renewable energies will represent 52% in 2030 (43% in 2020, then 47% in 2025), according to the evolution of the capacity and the electricity mix. Increasing the share of […]
The study of renewable energies is essential for the territories, it is an integral part of the development of a transition strategy and contributes to the coherence and robustness of the energy and climate trajectory of the territory. Thus, it makes it possible to have and cross data to make relevant choices adapted to the […]
To accurately estimate the energy produced from a power plant, information on the site’s meteorological resource is needed, in addition to the layout and technical specifications of the plant components. Sophisticated software is often used to model the complex interaction of these different parameters. Although a number of software packages can predict the energy performance […]
In a context marked by climate change, the need to “decarbonize energy” by getting rid of all fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has become a strategic axis in the global energy transition policy. Faced with this climate emergency, sectors based on renewable energies (mainly wind, CSP and photovoltaic) are in full expansion, yet […]
LCOE “Levelized Cost of Energy” or “actualized cost of energy” represents all the costs of the installation (initial investment: CAPEX and annual operating expenses: OPEX) compared to the energy produced by the installation on a given period of time (duration of the contract or lifetime for example). This cost is usually given in monetary unit […]
With the perpetual rise of the share of renewable energies (in particular solar and wind energy) in the energy mix, the vulnerability of the electricity grid will become increasingly important in the face of the short-term variability of these intermittent resources, and therefore Consequently, the reliability of the renewable energy production forecast will be an […]
Before building a farm, the project developer must know the deposit of a territory in order to optimize the choice of land, the capacity of the plant and its profitability. Forecasting this production in the very long term (often 25 years) assumes that the deposit of the last 10 to 30 years is representative of […]
CAPEX and OPEX, What a peculiarity for the projects In recent years, the renewable energy sector has undergone profound changes in terms of technological innovations, project financing and the structuring of public support mechanisms. Many parameters are taken into account in the calculation of the production cost of energy sectors and sometimes differ according to […]
