MST公司位于以色列的光伏系统开发商,该公司开发了第一个以色列聚光太阳能光电入网系统,并成为了以色列光伏电价补助政策下第一个享受上网电价补贴的公司。
MST公司的聚光太阳能光电入网时间为2010年7月12日,该系统是以色列乃至世界首个该类型光电入网系统。
该系统容量为50KWp,目前已经得到了以色列电力部门的上网许可,并有资格得到以色列政府20年以上的光电FIT补贴,通过售电MST公司的该项目很有可能实现预期盈利。
MST系统采用的是以色列科技,由MST公司进行开发建设。公司的管理和经营者是Dov Raviv先生—— 以色列著名的火箭导弹之父。MST系统的工作原理在多层结太阳能电池上是以500倍的辐射强度来聚集光线,从而在更小的空间内聚集更多的能源。这种先进的太阳能电池以前一直应用在太空卫星上,但是现在已经开始被地面光伏系统所采用。
这种高效的太阳能电池因配以太阳能追踪器而效率进一步大增,太阳能追踪器能够精确的追踪日出日落进而使该系统最大化的暴露在阳光辐射下产生尽可能多的电量。该双轴太阳追踪系统也是MST公司研制发明的,该系统所采用的科技在目前来讲也是世界最先进的。
该系统经过了几乎一年的实地测试,测试产能数据显示该系统已经达到了24.5%的产能效率。该数据几乎是目前标准晶硅系统效率的两倍。
MST系统的最大优势就是可以在更少的空间内产生更多的能源,同等能源产出的条件下,MST系统所占用的空间是其他科技光电系统的一半甚至三分之一。空间的高效利用在名为“双重使用”的MST系统中表现更为明显。该系统被安装在一个两米高的铁架上,因此系统下或周围的土地依然可以供农业或其他目的使用。该系统目前被安装在以色列南部城市Arad中。
A Breakthrough by MST for Solar Energy and Israel
MST, a solar energy systems developer and producer becomes the first
Israeli company to deploy a commercial CPV system connected to the
Israeli Electricity Grid and to receive feed-in tariff (FIT) under Israel's new national solar energy regulation.
MST, an Israel based company announced today that it has connected its
commercial CPV system based on MST technology to the national electricity grid. This MST system is the first of its kind in Israel and
amongst the first in the world to supply electricity from the sun based on a system of Concentrated Photo-Voltaic technology (CPV).
The system, with installed capacity of 50KWp, received approval from the Israeli Electric Company for its connection to the national power grid and has qualified to receive Israeli feed-in tariff for the next 20 years making it possible for MST to sell electricity at profitable rates.
The MST system is a product of Israeli technology that was developed in
MST, founded and managed by Mr. Dov Raviv who already is known to
many as the "Father of Israel's Arrow Missile System". MST's CPV system
uses the principle of concentrating sun rays at the rate of over 500 times
their normal intensity on multi-junction solar cells of 37% solar efficiency to
create more energy in less space. These advanced solar cells, already
used as a successful source for energy production for satellites in space
are today adapted for ground use in solar energy systems.
The highly efficient solar cells' and solar panels' energy production are
further enhanced by MST's tracker system which enables the panels to
track the sun with high precision from sunrise to sunset enabling maximum exposure to intense sunlight and maximum electricity production. This highly accurate two-axis solar tracking system was also developed by MST and is today one of the most advanced in the world.
The system's measured output documented in the field for almost a year
already confirms a 24.5% overall efficiency which is approximately double that of the existing standard PV systems based on silicon cells. MST's high efficiency CPV system produces twice the amount of energy per unit of land compared to regular solar systems.
One of the MST system's most important advantages is this very ability to use less land to produce more energy. The amount of actual space
required by MST for solar energy production is half to one third of that
required by other solar technologies. This land use efficiency is even
further enhanced by another equally significant MST advantage called
"Dual Use". The system is installed on a steel column with a two meter
stand-off from the ground enabling continued use of that same land under
and around the trackers for agricultural and other purposes. The system is
installed in the city of Arad in the South of Israel.
