Renewable Energy secrets and caches in Jordan
Presented by: Eng. Ala’a A. Al-Shalabi
RMC (Royal Maintenance Corps)
The current potential of various renewable energy resources
in Jordan is obtainable in many sources. We note that a large
part of electrical load in Jordan in summer is consumed during
the daytime, when the solar power can be efficiently used.
The pattern of wind energy variation is highly agreed with
prevailing peak demands and corresponding peak hours. New
sites for wind energy exploitation are assessed and the pre-
installation phase is started. Another deep and powerful
energy can obtain from hydropower (water power) and that
may be obtained, when we are exploiting the level difference
of waters.
In this regard, the present paper investigates the degree of
agreement between the load variation patterns and the power
generated by the renewable energy sources.

Introduction
Renewable energy sources are being used all over
the world. Brilliant minds have devoted their lives
to finding resources that do not leak greenhouse
gases into the ozone, or cost large amounts of
money. For example, wind energy, solar power,
Hybrid cars and using methane gas for stove fuel.
These are all excellent examples of renewable
energy as they are all affordable and convenient as
well as being efficient.
Jordan is the most important country in the Middle East that embrace
the renewable energy, on other hand its being adjacent to several oil-
rich countries. A large portion of its budget is spent on importing oil
from various countries. The problem is aggravated year after year
due to the growth in population and increase in electricity demand
and industrial field. Therefore, the search for alternative energy
sources has become an imminent issue in Jordan. Renewable energy
sources are fundamentally different from fossil fuel or nuclear power
plants because of their widespread occurrence and abundance. The
primary advantage of many renewable energy sources are their lack
of greenhouse gas and other fossil fuel.
Introduction
Despite the significant progress achieved in renewable
technologies, many fields are still at an early stage of development
and not technically mature. If an effective research is applied in a
modern way, renewable energy sources are considered highly
responsive to overall energy policy guidelines and environmental,
social, and economic goals .One of the renewable energy critical
issues is the degree of matching between renewable energy
production and load patterns. Therefore, electrical grid storage
was one of the most important storage methods advocated by the
renewable energy community.
Introduction
Solar power is energy from the sun. The sun is 150 million kilometers away, but it is over 1 million degrees Celsius at the core. If we could harness it, there is enough solar power reaching the earth to provide all of our energy needs 10,000 times over. They invented photoelectric (or photovoltaic) panels (or cells), which capture the sun's energy and turn it into electricity Geothermal energy is energy from the heat of the earth. Domestic solar generation can thus feed electricity into the grid during grid peaking times during the day, and domestic systems can then draw power from the grid during the night when overall grid loads are down.
Solar thermal and wind generation, providing power when they were unable to improved ability to predict the wind availability greatly enhances the utilization of this resource. Several countries have shown successful achievements in this field. In Germany, for instance, it is possible to predict wind generation output with 90% certainty 24 hours ahead. This means that it is possible to deploy other plants more effectively so that the economic value of wind contribution is increased.
Renewable Energy Characteristics
Electrical load forecasting is one of the major tasks, which continuously makes a challenge to the load management engineers in every electrical power system. There are several factors included in the load forecasting system which have demographic, political, climatic and economical attributes. The load curves are produced in daily, monthly and yearly forms. As shows the sectorial distribution of electricity consumption in 2005

Others 448.9 5.10

The daily and nightly patterns of load variation are closed to each other, also significant part of industrial, Domestic loads are mainly daily loads.
Jordan is estimated to rely on renewable sources of energy in a gradual and reduce reliance on petroleum products. Jordan can plan and within the strategy to increase reliance on renewable energy sources in 2015 by 7% to reach 2020 to 10% Although money may or may not be put into the research, the outcome will still be the same. Minimal amount of people will use environmentally cars because they know no better and do not want change. But the reality is, not many people like change, and trying to change the energy sources of the world will not go down well with the people and most likely be at the same status it is now, in 10 years time. The continuous growth in electrical energy demand has put the decision makers in a critical situation. Therefore, the numbers of people who ask for exploitation new and renewable energy sources are in continuous increase day after day. The daily load variation has shown two peak-periods, one in the mid of the day and the other in the evening. The first peak period agrees well with the sunshine time in winter, whereas the two peak periods can lie in the long summer sunny hours.
Discussion
•Jordan can be divided into five solar radiation regions, as shown
Discussion
Region global irradiance KWh/m2
Di ffuse irradiance KWh/m2
southern region (M’aan and Aqaba ) 6-7 1.2 – 1.35
eastern region (semi desert and Badia) 5.5 1.5
middle region 5.5 1.6 -1.9
northern region 5 1.5
western region (Jordan Rift Valley ) No data No data
The daily load curve of the Jordanian network has two peak periods, in
midday and evening hours.
Large sector of Jordanian electrical load can greatly benefited from the
high irradiance and long sunny days whether these loads are connected to grid
or stand alone.
The existing and planned projects for small and large wind farms are
important for establishing a good alternative for existing conventional
sources of energy. The movement from small, pilot and experimental
renewable energy projects is a must and inevitable.
