COUNTRYPROFILE


ran is a prosperous country in many respects but when it comes to solar energy it is blessed with receiving an abundance of solar radiation as well as having the proper conditions for developing this kind of renewable energy. Iran is located in a solar belt and has a number of unused sites that can easily be converted for the construction of a solar station.


I


Iran has been developing renewable energies for some time and the Iran Renewable Energy Organization has its first thermal-solar station in development using a linear parabolic solar array in Shiraz. The purpose of this project, with research and design carried out by faculty of Mechanics at Shiraz University, is to examine possible solar and other alternative energies, developing the appropriate technology and using the pilot solar station for producing vapour with the intention of developing capacity of 250 Kw. This first stage is almost complete and will provide key data and direction for the future of the countries alternative energy needs.


There are a number of areas that Iran Renewable Energy Organization are studying and the future may see the group develop a number of different technologies rather than focus on one or two opportunities. Some of the areas that are being explored could have applications in more than one area. Some of the potential applications are solar luminance for street lighting, solar water pumping system, solar refrigerators as well as net- connected system such as the 30Kw Talegan or 5Kw Tehran Power Stations. A number of companies are participating in the various aspects of this long term project and are involved in research, manufacturing and marketing of the Iranian efforts. Some of these companies are. Solarpolar, Radnour Solar and Novin Electronics companies who are all active in this field of expertise..


Developing the application of Geothermal Energy


The remit for the Iran Renewable Energy Organization covers more than solar and the group looks at a variety of options as well as exploring ways to use more than one type of technology in
