NREL CA Solar Benefits California CSP Resource Assessment 3.0 California CSP Resource Assessment Concentrating solar systems make use of direct normal insolation (DNI), that part of the radiation which comes directly from the sun. Insolation is typically rated as a power density in units of kW/m2, Btu/h-ft2, or MJ/h-m2. In this report, instantaneous DNI is provided in units of kW/m2 and daily average DNI is provided in units of kWh/m2/day. The daily amount of DNI is seasonal, with greatest DNI on days close to the summer solstice, and least DNI on days near the winter solstice. The average annual daily DNI for high insolation (low cloud cover) areas of California ranges from 6.75 kWh/m2/day to 8.25 kWh/m2/day. Annual electrical energy production from CSP plants is roughly proportional to the annual average DNI level. Black & Veatch calculated the total land area in California with sufficient resource to support power generation on comparably flat land outside of environmentally sensitive areas by using solar insolation data provided by NREL. Figure 3-1 shows available land with high solar resource and land slope not greater than 1 percent, a preference for trough and power tower plants. The land area for each technology type, along with potential generation capacity in MW and GWh, is presented in Table 3-1. Capacity and generation were based on CSP systems without thermal storage. The table shows that with each CSP power generation technology there is the potential to generate many multiples of the current demand for electricity in California. The total generation capacity as of 2004 for the state was roughly 58,000 MW.6 Table 3-1 Concentrating Solar Power Technical Potential Solar Resource Land Area, mi2 Capacity Potential, MW Generation Potential, GWh Parabolic Trough, no storage < 1 % slope Parabolic Trough, six hours storage < 1 % slope Power Tower, six hours storage < 1 % slope Parabolic Dish, < 3 % slope Parabolic Dish, < 5 % slope Concentrating PV, < 3 % slope Concentrating PV, < 5 % slope 6 www.eia.doe.gov.
