Abstract/Summary:
The potential for a 10 MW photovoltaic power plant in Abu Dhabi is examined in this paper, using RETScreen modeling software to predict energy production, financial feasibility and GHG emissions reductions. Initial results show a high energy production potential, generating 24 GWh and saving over 10,000 tons of GHG emissions annually, but a poor financial analysis yielding a net present value (NPV) of negative...
