    Abstract

    This paper will assess What are the proven utility scale applications for Solar Steam systems in Alberta? Although Alberta does not have adequate sunshine to generate year-round electricity through solar technology, there is suitable irradiance to economically produce high-quality steam for use in industrial processes. Solar steam systems will empower Alberta oil industry meet its environmental commitments while providing revenues that can help recoup capital investment. This study will integrate an economic analysis as an additional dimension to energy generation potential and environmental benefits of the technology. The financial modeling will reflect the baseline cost for solar fields within NREL’s System Advisor Model. The performance-enhancing and cost-reducing model of enclosing solar mirrors in a glasshouse, proven by GlassPoint, will increase the viability of solar steam applications in Alberta. Building a solar steam generation system is seen as technically feasible, with the obstacles being mainly economic and surface right allocation.
