エグゼクティブサマリー

情勢

• 成熟したパラボラトラフ技術は、ソーラー蒸気発電の大部分で実行可能だが、その他のシステム構成は、ある特定分野の用途に適している

分析

• システムコンポーネントの費用削減は、ソーラー発電蒸気の活用で、2020年までに20％の減少が可能

見通し

図表

Even with low natural gas and oil prices in many markets around the world, operations seeking to reduce operational expenses or conserve fuel may find that industrial-scale concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies can generate low-cost steam. In this report, we explore the current CSP technologies that companies could utilize in steam generation applications byconsidering geography and calculating a levelized cost of steam (LCOS). We find that parabolic tough technologies lead the pack now and in the future, ultimately reaching $5/ MMBtu in 2020, competitive with conventional fossil fuel boilers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

LANDSCAPE

Mature parabolic trough technologies are viable for majority of solar steam generation, but other system architectures more suitable for some niche applications.

ANALYSIS

Cost reductions to system components drive a 20% decrease in levelized cost of solar-generated steam by 2020.
