Basedontheutilizationofpowerplants,themodelcalculatesthesystemcostsperkWh,i.e.LCOEoftheindividualtechnologies,ofapotentialgridexpansionandofstorage.



2.2 Inputandoutputparameters

Thefirstpartoftheworkshopmainlyfocussedonadjustingthecapacityneededfor2050toachieveaconsistentscenariowithaworkingsystem.Itwasalsopossibletoadjustseveralotherinputparametersinthemodel.Themodellinginputsintroducedduringtheworkshopcouldbegroupedintoloaddata,meteorologicaldata,technologydataandeconomicdata,accompaniedbyfurtherinputs,e.g.ontheregionalsplitintodefinedregions.Allinputparameterswerebasedonliteratureresearchandinsightsgainedduringtheworkshop.

Duringtheworkshop,themodelallowedparticipantstocalculatescenariosofMorocco’sfuturepowersupply.Inallcalculations,anhourlyresolutionofthetargetyear2050andthedevelopmentuntilthisyearincludingintermediateinstallationtargetsof2030weretakenintoaccount(cf.Schinkeetal.2016).

TheloadcurveappliedwasderivedfromONEE(2016)andpreparedforafullyear.Inthemodel,itwasscaledwiththeexpectedpowerdemandin2050andsplitintoregionaldemandaccordingtotheregionsizeandpopulationdensity.Duringtheworkshoptheparticipantsdiscussedpossiblefuturedevelopmentsoftheloaduntil2050andtheirrespectivedrivers.Forthecalculations,itwasagreedtoassumeanannualpowerdemandof173TWhin2050(cf.Triebetal.2015).Thiscorrespondstoafive-foldincreaseofMorocco’spowerdemandof2014,basedonanassumedsteadygrowthwithoutasaturationeffectbefore2050.

Inthemodel,relevantenergytechnologies,i.e.renewableandconventionalgeneration,storageoptionsandthetransmissiongrid,withtheirtechnicalandeconomiccharacteristicsandtheiroperationalbehaviourweretakenintoaccount.Thedispatchabletechnologiesweredefinedwiththeirinstalledcapacity,theirrampingdurationandminimumdowntimes.Additionally,efficienciesandfuelinputsweretakenintoaccountinthemodel.

Forthecalculations,Moroccowassplitintofourregionsbasedondifferencesinwindspeedconditionsandsolarradiation.Duringthecalculations,allcapacityinstalledwassplituporallocatedtotheregionsdefinedtomodelregion-specificproduction.Foreachoftheregions,onerepresentativemeasuringpointanditsrespectivewindspeedandsolarradiationdata(cf.NASA2016)wasapplied.

Theunderlyingwindspeedswereutilizedforthecalculationoftheelectricityproductionfromwindpower.ForthemodellingofPVandconcentratedsolarpower(CSP),solarradiationdatawerepre-processed,andregion-specificnormalizedproductioncurvesasmodelledwiththeSAMsoftware(cf.NREL2016)wereutilizedinthespreadsheetmodel.Economicdataincludedcapitalexpenditures(CAPEX)andoperationalexpenditures(OPEX)thatwerealsodependentonthetechnologies’servicelifeandinterestrates(weightedaveragecostofcapital,WACC)andwereassumedtodecreaseovertime.

ThetransmissiongridbetweentheregionswasbasedonfigurespresentedinONEE2016.Inthemodel,theresidualloadwascalculatedforthemodelregions.Forthescenariosmodelled,potentiallynecessarytransmissiongridenhancementswerederivedfromexcesspowerandpowershortagesintheregions,relatedtotheexisting

Pumpedhydropowerplants(STEP)wereassumedtobetheonlystorageoptioninthesystem.Inthemodel,existingstoragecapacitywastakenintoaccountandwasadjustableinthescenarios.

Thespreadsheetmodeldeliveredseveraloutputsthatwerefedintothesuccessivemulti-criteriaanalysis(MCA,cf.Chapter3).Firstofall,theenergyamountsproducedinthetargetyear2050andtheirsharesintheinstalledproductioncapacityandgeneratedelectricitywerecalculatedforalltechnologies.Moreover,thefuelinputforconventionalpowergenerationwascalculatedandtheresultingdirectCO2emissionswerederivedfromthis.

Additionally,thespecificcostin2050wascalculated.Forthiscalculation,allCAPEXoftheinstalledcapacityin2050wasannuitized.SupplementedbytheOPEXand,ifnecessary,fuelcostin2050,thetotalannualcostwasdividedbytheelectricityproducedandlevelizedcostofelectricity(LCOE)ofthesystemresulted.Thisapproachwasalsoappliedtostorageandpotentiallynecessarygridenhancements.

2.3 ScenariosofMorocco’selectricityfuturein2050

Withthespreadsheetmodelintroduced,theworkshopparticipantsdevelopedfourconsistentscenariosofMorocco’s2050powersupply.Thescenarioscorrespondedtothestakeholders’preferencesvoicedatthebeginningoftheworkshop.Theworkshopparticipantsstatedthatlowelectricitycost,highsharesofrenewableenergies,lowimportsandlowCO2emissionswerethemostimportantissuesforthem.

Itbecameevidentthatinstallationtargetsof2030wouldnotcoverMorocco’spowerdemandin2050.Thatiswhytheinstalledcapacityneededtobeadjustedtofindoptionstocoverthedemandin2050foreveryhouroftheyear.Theworkshopparticipantsthereforediscussedandalteredtheinstalledcapacityinthemodelaccordingtotheirpreferences.Whenaworkingscenariowascompleted,themodelwasresetandtheworkshopparticipantsadjustedtheinstalledcapacityagain.AfulllistofthemainscenarioresultscanbefoundinTable1.

Theloadandproductioninthescenariosdevelopedisexemplarilyillustratedforthefirstweekof2050inFigure1oftheAnnex.

Inthefirstscenariodeveloped(scenarioA),windpowerwasincreasedto35GWandPVto15GWin2050.Alltheotherenergysourcesdidnotdiffersubstantiallyfromthe2030targets.Thescenariowascharacterizedbyashareof2/3ofthetotalinstalledcapacityprovidedbytechnologiesusingintermittentenergysources.Forthescenario,thepumpingcapacityofpumpedstorage(Stationsdetransfertd'énergieparpompage,STEP)wasincreasedto9GW,anditsturbinecapacitywasincreasedto9.6GW.ThecalculationsresultedinCO2emissionsof18.5Mtin2050.Insum,theLCOEofthesystemwas93.7cts/kWh.Thisscenariowascalled“Mix1”asitimpliedavarietyofenergysourcesinstalledin2050.



Inthesecondscenariodeveloped(scenarioB),windpowerwasfurtherincreasedto45GWandPVto30GWin2050.Allconventionalpowergenerationwasassumedtobetakenoutofoperationby2050.Withthissystemsetting,itwasonlypossibletocovertheloadineveryhouroftheyearwithanincreaseinSTEPcapacity(pumps:10GW,turbines:17.9GW)andanincreaseintheamountofstorableenergy(2000GWh).Withthisscenariosetting,itwaspossibletocoverapproximately100percentofMorocco’spowerdemandin2050byrenewableenergyproduction.Intermittentcapacitywas78%ofthecapacityinstalled.Withnoconventionalpowergenerationinthesystem,CO2emissionswerereducedtozero.TotalLCOEwas106.4cts/kWh,thushigherthaninscenarioA.Thescenariowascalled“100%RES”asitsinstalledgenerationtechnologyin2050consistedentirelyofrenewableenergytechnologies.

Inthethirdscenariodeveloped(scenarioC)thefocuswassetonsolarPVwithaninstalledcapacityof50GWin2050.Windpower(10GW)andconventionalpowergenerationremainedatacomparablylowlevel.Duetoenergysurplusesduringsunshinehours,asubstantiallyhighSTEPpumpcapacityof23.9GWwasnecessarytohavetheloadcoveredineveryhouroftheyear.Insum,theshareofrenewableenergiesintheenergyproducedwasapproximately60percent.LCOEwasfoundtobe103.3cts/kWh,thusbetweenscenarioAandscenarioB.TheresultingCO2emissions(29Mt),however,weresubstantiallygreaterthaninscenarioA.

Inthefourthscenario(scenarioD),windpowercapacitywasincreasedto40GWandPVto10GW.SimilartoscenarioA,conventionalpowergenerationwasnotsubstantiallyalteredcomparedtothe2030targets.ThecapacityofSTEPwasincreasedto10GW(pumps)and7.5GW(turbines),respectively.Withthiscombinationofcapacity,ashareofRESof78.4percentwasreachedin2050.Duetothepowerproductionfromconventionaltechnologies,CO2emissionsof19Mtresulted.LCOEwasslightlyhigherthaninscenarioA(94.2cts/kWh).

Basedontheseinsightsgainedduringtheworkshop,wepresentthefollowingrecommendationsforthelong-termdevelopmentoftheMoroccanpowersector:

/ Toachieveahighlevelofenergyindependence,Moroccoshouldfocusinparticularonrenewableenergysourcesforitsfuturepowersupply.Sustainablebiomasstechnologiesbasedonresidualmaterialflowsshouldbeconsideredinthenationallong-termgoals.Conventionalgenerationshouldplayaminorrole.

/ RepresentativesofthepopulationneedtobeincludedinthediscussiononMorocco’sfutureelectricitysupplytoincreasethepublicsupportofthenationaltargets.Thereshouldbeastrategytoassurethatallsocietalgroupsareenabledtoparticipateinthisprocess.

/ Opportunitiesshouldbeinvestigatedtoestablishanelectricitysystembasedon100percentrenewableenergywhilesimultaneouslylimitingtherequiredcapacitiesforelectricitygenerationandstorage.Theseopportunitiesmayincludethecombinationofrenewabletechnologieswithdifferentfeed-inprofilesorbalancingofsupplyanddemandwiththehelpofdifferentflexibilityoptions.
