Citizen’s meeting on Power Sector ReformChris Greacen
November 25, 2007Bangkok, Thailand
Solar, wind, hydro, CHP in Thailand: technology, cost, potential, applications
Palang Thai
13.7 km
Solar
0.037% of Thailand area 100% peak load
(22,586 MW)
TESCO Lotus, Rama I,460 kWp, Cost: 75,165,000 baht
World-wide2006: 6,000 MWp cumulative2007: >9,000 MWp cumulative
13.7 km
Thai population: 65,069,000 Person per household: 5 Households: 13,014,000 System size: 3 kW If 58% of households 100% of peak load VSPP subsidy: 8 baht / kWh
Solar
3 kW = 660,000 baht
Thai government solar home program
203,000 solar home systems>20% failure rate within first year in Tak
Wind
Hundreds of watts to 5 MW per turbine Now over 15,000 MW in Germany Denmark gets >17% electricity from wind At windy site, US 5 cents/kWh (1.65 baht/kWh) In Thailand: 6 baht/kWh (?) VSPP subsidy: 2.5 baht/kWh (3.5?) 1 MW = 35,000,000 baht
Thai wind potential: 1600 MW (?)
28,530 MW = Thailand’s
peak load in 2007
•Installed in Thailand: 1 MW
Wind energy – human scale
17.7 baht/kWh
8,200 baht

Combined Heat and Power (CHP)… Why?
Why CHP?Electricity Generation Worldwide (TWh)
(source: International energy Agency 2002)
67% wasted!
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)… also called “cogeneration”
Thai CHP Potential:?,??? MW
>2,400 MW in applications received
Combined Cooling Heat and Power (CCHP) plant at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport
55MW CCGT
Steam provides cooling for terminal (563,000 m²) and surrounding facilities

Estimated renewable energy potential in Thailand
Source: Technical potential from Thai Ministry of Energy. (2003).“Energy Strategy for Competitiveness” http://www.eppo.go.th/admin/moe-workshop1/index.html. Commercial potential from from Black & Veatch 2000 and NEPO/DANCED 1998 as well as interviews with power plant managers. Targets from 2005 Prime Minister’s Energy Workshop 23 November.
* Commercial potential based on actual prices paid to renewable energy generators currently on-line.
