Question: Calculate the Solar Energy potential (GWh) that can be generated on Annual Basis if 50,000km2 of the area of Jordan was covered with Solar PV modules.
List your assumptions:
Solar PV estimated generation = 2GWh/MWp
Each 1MWp will need = 10,000m2
Cost of fossil fuel to generate electricity in Jordan = 1000 million JD/year
Annual Electricity Generated in Jordan = 20,000 GWh
Required
Calculate Solar Energy potential by Dividing the Electricity generated from PV over 50,000km2 / Annual Electricity Generated?
You are going to Build a Solar PV Plant to cover the Annual Electricity Needs of Jordan
What is the Size of the plant?
Calculate Present Value (P), if the cost of the 1MWp = 500,000JD.
If the cost of Generation of Electricity in Jordan is 0.10JD/KWh, what is the Simple Payback Period (SPP)?
What is the annual electricity saving (A0) if the degradation is 1%?
What is (A1) if the operation, maintenance and cleaning is 2% of initial cost?
