Abstract
This research aims to identify and evaluate potential locations for establishing solar power tower systems in Egypt, with the objective of determining the optimal site for a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant. The study focuses on identifying the most suitable location for a solar power tower system in the country. Four potential sites are identified and meticulously assessed through a preliminary design analysis conducted at each location, facilitating an informed and optimal site selection process. To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, the study involves an extensive review of meteorological data and irradiance potential for each location. This includes analyzing factors such as solar radiation levels, temperature, and weather patterns, which are critical for assessing the feasibility and efficiency of CSP technologies. The rigorous analysis of these factors ensures that each site’s suitability is thoroughly examined, taking into account the local environmental conditions that could impact the performance of the solar power tower system. By evaluating these sites, this research aims to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the solar power tower system. This strategic approach contributes significantly to the broader goal of leveraging Egypt’s abundant solar resources for sustainable energy generation, thereby addressing the country’s energy crisis and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The findings of this research are expected to provide valuable insights into the optimal deployment of CSP technology in Egypt, promoting a shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions.
