Solar energy in Iran
Daily solar radiation in Iran is equal to 4
KWh per square meter.
The average sunny hour's reaches to 2800
hours per year.
In some regions such as the inner deserts
and their surrounding cities (e.g.,Yazds'), the
average sunny hours even reach above 3200
hours per year.

Shiraz Solar Thermal Power Plant

Yazd ISCCS Power Plant

Shiraz
Shiraz the capital of Fars Province in the
southern part of Iran at latitude 29o 36 N
and longitude 52o 32 E with 1550 m
elevation
Shiraz has received the top rating among
several sunny locations in the country as the
most favorable site for a solar thermal
power plant installation
Shiraz enjoys 3354 hours of sunshine
annually with average daily irradiation of 20
MJ/m2
Characteristics of Shiraz solar power plant
The most important activities about Shiraz
Thermal Solar Power Plant
Design and manufacturing of solar collector including
collector structure, mirrors shaping, collectors driving
system and also so many scientific simulation and tests like
collectors moving, wind effects on collectors and etc.
Developing of control philosophy of collectors field and
oil cycle .
Design and manufacturing of oil cycle main parts like heat
exchangers, expansion and storage tanks, piping and utility
system.
Simulation and optimal assessment of oil and steam cycles
based on basic design and optimal control of plant.
Design simulation and construction of steam cycle.
Thermo-economic analysis of power plant .
