Masdar
Power Project
Introduction
Masdar
is owned by Mubadala Development, which is an investment Company owned by the
Abu Dhabi Government. Masdar is working on Masdar Power to improve and operate
the renewable energy in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Masdar is investing in
individual projects in different part of renewable energy. Masdar Power is
divided in to two parts of renewable energy. The two parts are photovoltaic
energy and wind energy. These parts or these units are located in different
regions of Abu Dhabi. The Solar Energy is located in Western Region of Abu
Dhabi and joint venture with Abengoa Solar and Total. The Wind Energy Farm is
going to be on Sir Bani Yas Island and it will have capacity 28.8 MW.
History
Masdar
was established in 2006 as a company operating in several areas across Abu
Dhabi Emirate as part of the overall vision, and to improve all areas of the renewable energy and
sustainable technologies sector for Abu Dhabi. Masdar Power has selected Masdar
City and Western Region of Abu Dhabi for their solar power projects, and Sir
Bani Yas Island for the wind farm.
Developments to this point
Wind Power
The Bani Yas Wind
Farm is the first in the region and cost around US$200m to build. Masdar
selected the island because of the added benefits of existing thermal
conditions in coastal areas. Masdar has signed an agreement with Abu Dhabi’s TDIC
about the wind farm in 2008 to develop renewable energy. It was completed in
2010 and will be commissioned early 2012, adding 28.8MW of capacity.
Solar Power
There are two solar energy plants in
Abu Dhabi. One is located in North West quadrant of Masdar City with a capacity
of 10 MW. A second one is located 6Km southwest from Madinat Zayed with a
capacity of 100 MW. The construction phase for this power plant has started in
2010.
The Solar Power
Plant of Masdar City has 87,777 panels of thin film and crystalline silicon
technologies and is connected to the Abu Dhabi National Grid. It generates 10MW
of clean energy per year. This plant was connected to Abu Dhabi’s Distribution
Company (ADDC) who develop and operate the distribution network.
Mr. Al Jaber said "The initial
project findings have been very positive and if the results continue to be
successful, 'beam down' technology has the potential to revolutionize the way
in which all solar towers are built in the future," (Stanton, C. ,2010). The PV
plant will reduce carbon emissions by 15 tons annually, equivalent to
approximately 3300 cars off the streets of Abu Dhabi every year.
Shams 1 Solar
Energy project is developed by Shams Power Company, which is owned by Masdar
(60%), Abengoa Solar (20%) and Total (20%), and one of the largest Concentrating
Solar Power (CSP) plants of its kind in the world and the largest solar plant
in the Middle East.
Modern Development
Wind Energy
Work has recently
started on a wind farm project in the Seychelles in cooperation with Abu Dhabi
Fund for Development. The 6MW facility will provide up to 11% of the energy on
the main island, reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Solar Energy
Masdar Solar Energy is planning to develop Shams
2 and Shams 3 following Shams 1. It is also involved in several projects in
Spain, US and Middle East adding 6GW in three years.
Conclusion
Masdar
Power is the driving force behind solar and wind energy projects in Abu Dhabi
Emirate. So far ca. 130MW of clean energy are either in planning or have
already been added within the UAE, in addition to the 6GW projects outside the
UAE. This not only puts Abu Dhabi firmly on the clean energy map, but also in a
prime position to further diversify energy creation.
