Solar Power Generation Demonstration System Starts Operating in Libya

On September 28, an inauguration and handover ceremony of solar power generation demonstration system took place at Tripoli, Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. 
The system was installed on the campus of Al Fateh University (established in 1957, and is the largest university in Libya), in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Al Fateh Revolution.  This donation comprises a part of the program being carried out by the University together with Mitsubishi Corporation (MC), to stimulate applied field study of new energy. The program is based on MC’s intention to contribute to the society from a medium - long term viewpoint.
 
The System consists of solar power generation device, simulation, monitoring and data processing equipment. It enables field analysis on the relations between power generation and climate conditions to be conducted under the Libya’s favorable insolation condition.  Studies such as optimal utilization of generated power can also be carried out by means of this system. 
 
The data and know-how obtained through the execution of the program is expected to contribute to raising the level of academic studies at the University as well as to promoting the use of clean energy. 
 
Although Libya is currently a major oil/gas producing country Libya is seeking to diversify its energy source by introducing new energy technologies, among which solar energy is regarded as one of the most promising sources. Mitsubishi Corporation, through this joint program with Al Fateh University, aims to contribute to the promotion of the use of renewable energy in Libya and the neighboring regions.
