Their study identified the dry cooled solar tower plant with a 14-hour storage system, 100 MWe capacity and solar multiple of 3.0 as the most efficient system for the selected site. In as much as a lot of work has been done by a number of researchers around the globe about the CSP technology, an assessment of same has not yet been done in Ghana.
In this study, Ghana is divided into three main sections; Southern, Middle and Northern belts. One location each was selected from these sectors to analyze their ability to support large-scale PV power plant by evaluating their techno-economic potentials.
Results from the simulation shows that the STPP is the best technology for Ghana’s weather conditions. The LCOEs for the PTC power plants at Navrongo and Tamale are about 47.08% and 48.49% more than that of the STPP modelled at both sites, respectively.
Evaluation of two different CSP technologies were done for Ghana. The Solar tower technology was identified as the best system for the Ghanaian weather. The viability of the CSP project depends on the type of financing conditions. The discount rate was a key factor in determining the LCOE.
The PV-Battery technology proved to be the optimum system for the Ghanaian economic and weather conditions even other the current financial arrangements used for the simulation. Fig. 7.
The country has over 83.24% (50% rural and 91% urban) of its populace connected to the national electricity grid second to South Africa in the sub-region . However, demand for electricity in Ghana is increasing and it is expected to increase to 5000 MW by 2020 as a result of fast increasing population, industrialization, and urbanization .
