SOLAR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY WITH
FLEXIBLE AUTONOMOUS PV-DIESEL
HYBRID SYSTEMS - THE TRUTH BEHIND
Philipp Otter, AUTARCON GmbH
Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
Content
1.Solar Energy Suppply from an German Perspective
2.Energy and Energy Efficiency Education with respect to TZ
Purpose
1.To start the workshop – lets play with some numbers
2.Bring TZ back on right track energetically and economically
when it comes to energy supply
Developed world has invested into fossil fuels many years ago
Today there are better options …

Kassel: 20 MW of PV are connected per day globally

Typical solar system?
•These systems substitute Kerosine
•Here we do not talk about these

Solar technology – become an entrepreneur

Feed in Tariff – still a success story
•everybody with a roof
wants to be an
entrepreneur
•Rapid decrease of
module prices
•Reduction of feed in
tariff
•based on price
dumping from China.

PV-price learning curve
In the last 24
months cost/kWh
solar electricity
was cut in half

Electrification rate (2013) 18,4 %
Sunshine hours per year 2.800 – 3.500 h/a (Kassel 1.445 h/a)
People living in rural areas (2012) 73 %
Annual economic growth rate around 6 %
GDP (2012) 28 Billion US Dollar
GDP shares (2012) 28 % Agricultural, 25 % Industry, 47 %
tertiary sector
Power plants (2012) 1.500 MW
-900 being from fossil fuels,
-600 being Water Power (in 2004,
Water made up 94% of electricity
production in Tanzania)
Electricity “production” (2012) 3,1 Billion kWh, 2,7 Billion kWh were
bought from other companies than
TANESCO and neighbouring countries Source: Nico Ulmer

Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
Flow of energy common fossil power plant
Heat 70 %
Electricity 30 %
Coal, Gas, Oil
100%
Wherever energy is converted heat is produced!
Efficiency of Solar PV
Electricity 12 - 15 %
Solar Radiation
100 %

You want a real example?
Lets check out NM AIST Campus!

Energy conversion in a Dieselgenerator
•Diesel 1: 80 kWel
•Diesel 2: 144 kWel
•Total Diesel Power: 225 kWel
•Efficiency?
~ 25% 225 kW/0,25 = 900 kW
•Operational time
13 h/day 12,000 kWh/day
•Energy content of 1 L of Diesel?
11 kWh/L
12,000(kWh/d)/ 11(kWh/L) =
1,065 L/day
•Costs of Diesel in TZ?
•1 USD/L 1,000 USD/d
Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
Flow of energy Diesel
Heat 75 %
800 L
Electricity 25 %
266 L
Diesel 100% 13h/day at full capacity
1,065 L/day, 12 MWh
Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
What is this?
•30 Energy saving lamps each 20 W
•30 Common lamps each 120 W
•Energy savings: 90 W / lamp * 30 Lamps = 2.700 W
@ 10 hours pery day
27 kWh per day 2.5 L/day (electricity) + 10 L/day (heat)
•Is that a lot?
Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
What is this
Water Boiler
•Energy consumption?
•1.500 W @ 20 h per day
30 kWh/day
2.8 L (electr.) + 11 L (heat)
How many boilers are on Campus?
- 50 140 L + 550 L
-100 280 L + 1100 L
Who had a hot shower this morning?
•Water consumption: 40 L
40 L /Shower 0,11 L + 0,42 L

The least efficient way of cooling
Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
Power consumption of airconditioning
-17.000 W
-5 hours per day
-6 Units
510 kWh/day
47 L (elect.) + 186 L (heat)
Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
Are you cold?
Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
So lets open the door a bit so we can waste 243 L of diesel
Phiipp Otter 27.01.2008
One option to adapt – Solar/Diesel Hybrid
