5G as Communication Platform for Solar Tower Plants: 5G for CSP
The communication requirements of a typical solar tower installation are assessed in this work and a data traffic model is created for the most relevant communication channels.
The 5G PPP initiative will reinforce the European industry to successfully compete on global markets and open new innovation opportunities. It will “open a platform that helps us reach our common goal to maintain and strengthen the global technological lead”. Our key challenges for the 5G Infrastructure PPP are:
For solar PV, there are no consistent data on the spatial distribution of Europe's utility and rooftop PV systems. We therefore modelled a single crystalline PV installation in each grid cell of MERRA-2, specified at a resolution of 0.5° latitude and 0.625° longitude, and assigned each cell to its respective country.
The optimal portfolio of wind and solar installed capacities across countries could improve the aggregate expected capacity factor by 21.6% (from 19% to 23.1%) and reduce its hourly variability by 25.6% (standard deviation declines from 9% to 6.7%) in the European Union (including Great Britain and excluding Cyprus and Malta).
