Introduction
Ouarzazate Solar Power Station (OSPS), also called Noor Power Station (نور, Arabic for light) is a solar power complex and auxiliary diesel fuel system located in the Drâa-Tafilalet region in Morocco, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Ouarzazate town, in Ghessat rural council area. At 510 MW, it is the world's largest concentrated. The project was developed bywith the help of the Spanish consortium TSK-- and is the first in a series of planned developments at the Ouarzazate Solar Complex by the Moroccan Agency for. The facility lies in Southern Morocco, near the ancient fortified town , near . Noor II CSP is the second phase of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station.It is a 200CSP solar plant using parabolic troughs.It has a seven hour storage capacity.It covers an area of 680 hectares (1,680 acres) and is expected to supply 600 GWh per year. Noor IV is a 72 MW which was completed in 2018. The total investment in this project is 750 million MAD or about 83 million USD. Ouarzazate Solar Power Station (OSPS) – Phase 1, also referred to as Noor I CSP, has an installed capacity of 160 . It was connected to the Moroccan power grid on 5 February 2016.It covers 450 hectares (1,112 acres) and is expected to deliver 370per. Noor III CSP is the third part of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station. Noor 3 is a different design, the mirrors are mounted horizontally on platforms which are supported by ten metre columns. Each platform is roughly the size of a tennis court. The panels follow. Water consumption for the Ouarzazate Noor complex is estimated at 2.5 to 3 million mper year for one wet-cooling project (Noor I) and two dry-cooling projects (Noor II and III). The water is sourced from the Mansour Eddahbi dam via pipeline. Solar power in Morocco is enabled by the country having one of the highest rates of solaramong other countries— about 3,000 hours per year of sunshine but up to 3,600 hours in the desert.has launched one of the world’s largest solar energy projects costing an estimated $9 billion. The aim of the project was to create 2,000 megawatts of solar generation capacity by 20.
