KUNSHAN, China, March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Arctech has recently signed a
contract for the 500MW Manah I power plant project in Oman, following its successful bid for the
588MW Manah II PV project in Oman
earlier in 2023. This consecutive project win showcases Arctech's
customized solutions tailored for the Middle East's desert regions as well as its
strong global competitiveness.
With Oman's rapid growth in
power demand in recent years, the government plans to achieve 20%
renewable energy consumption by 2030 and raise it to 35%-39% by
2040. The Manah I and II projects are key to accelerating
Oman's energy transition and an
important practice for Arctech in pursuing Belt and Road
cooperation.
The Manah I project, with 640MW capacity, is located in
Oman's Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate.
Affected by the tropical desert climate, the area is frequently
impacted by extreme weather like heavy rain, strong winds, and
sandstorms. The complex terrain with depressions also presents a
need for high requirements on tracker stability and terrain
adaptability.
The project adopted Arctech's flagship 1P SkyLine II tracker.
With its multi-point drive mechanism and patented triple D torque
tube, SkyLine II greatly enhances system stability under
desert wind loads. The tracker's wind stow speed reaches
22m/s. Meanwhile, the highly stable
torque tube allows a post span of up to 10m, reducing post quantities by around 20% and
lowering civil work costs.
To enhance system adaptability and power generation efficiency,
Arctech provided customer-centric customized solution designs
optimized for the Manah I project's needs.
For the undulating terrain with depressions, four different
module heights were customized to better adapt to the site's
topography. To boost energy yields, the tracker-bifacial module
combination creates a synergistic 1+1>2 effect. Additionally,
the purlins underwent bearing capacity optimization for better
cleaning robot compatibility, minimizing soiling losses and
boosting generation performance.
