UAE - Dubai EXPO 2020 - Design and Construction Supervision Consultancy Services
In 2020, the UAE will host the Expo 2020 in Dubai, which site is located adjacent to Al Makthoum International Airport and between Abu Dhabi International Airport and Dubai International Airport. The site covers a total area of 4.38 km², and will have the capacity to accommodate up to 300,000 visitors per day and a total of 25 million visitors.
The sustainability and renewable energy mix based concepts in this project cover various aspects related to rental and/or temporary access to building roofs for installation of Solar PV panels (BIPV, BAPV) during Expo 2020 Dubai's six-month event period and most flexible concepts for renewable energy systems integrated into other projects. The portfolio of renewable energy assets considered in this project contains solar PV, Waste-to-Energy anaerobic digestion, wind energy, solar hot water, fuel cells, energy storage, solar cooling, and/or other future RE technologies, e.g. transportation concepts for e-mobility to be deployed along with a smart grid infrastructure.

- Grid impact study: load flow, static and dynamic analysis, maximum penetration estimation, capacity factor calculation, estimation of needed rotational reserve and report preparation.
- Logistics study for wind parks and solar farms (harbour/landing facilities, transport and construction equipment, access roads, etc.; development of a logistics plan)
- Wind flow modelling for selected sites and solar PV potential, inter alia development of a digital terrain model (DTM) for the pre-selected sites
- Output prediction for wind parks and solar PV farms incl. selection of wind turbines and PV panels to consider, loss and risk analyses
- Feasibility studies for wind parks, solar farms and solar home systems (SHS), incl. preliminary project designs and cost estimates, grid integration studies (33 kV), SCADA, civil engineering, financial and economic analyses, preliminary standardized design of SHS, and procurement and construction schedule
- Evaluation of regulatory requirements (permits and licenses, land use, laws on construction and operation of wind parks and solar farms)
- Environmental and social impact assessments (EIA and SIA), including development of an environmental monitoring and management plan (EMMP)

1.8.2015 - 01.09.2018Libya - Strategic Plan for Renewable Energy Development
The situation of the electricity sector in Libya needs proper and rapid improvement, and the energy generation is mainly based on conventional energies burning heavy or light oil or gas fuel with a total installed generation capacity of around 9,000 MW mainly located in the shores north of the country. The use of renewable energies would allow Libya to cope with the increasing demand resulting from reconstruction of infrastructure destroyed during the last years and use oil & gas products to earn revenues for the country. The objective of this assignment is to develop a strategic plan for renewable energy development in the country.

Stage I: Energy mix and renewable resource assessment
- development of a least cost expansion plan and renewable energy scenarios
Stage II: Strategic plan for development of renewable energy:
- analysis of institutional mechanism, procedures and processes for selection and licensing of RE projects
- develop a road map for RE and grid development until 2030 and estimate the size of investments required. The grid development roadmap includes the requirements for balancing reserve and proposes necessary power systems control infrastructure.
- summary of opportunities and interfaces of different set-ups
Stage III: Framework for a pilot private sector participation transaction
- develop technical specifications for Private Sector Participation (PSP) in wind and solar energy
- developing a grid code document for connecting renewable energy projects
- identify candidates for renewable energy PSP transactions
- analysis of the financial viability of the suggested pilot transactions
- conduct a risk assessment for PSP
- market analysis to identify interest in potential pilot projects
Stage IV: Specialized training and experience sharing workshops

01/2017-12/2017; 05-06/2018ECOWAS Region - Support to RE Flagship Projects
ECOWAS, the Economic Community of West African states, comprises 15 West African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo. The overall GIZ project supports the regional dissemination of experience concerning renewable energies and aims at improving the capacities of utilities in the long term.
Output Area B of the project "Generation - RE flagship projects" follows a two-pronged approach:
- Documentation of information on and experience with existing RE flagship projects;
- Support to the development of planned projects through technical assistance for project development and transaction advice, accompanied by documentation of experience.

Provision and coordination of a pool of short-term experts to carry out the following tasks:
- Support to ECREEE in the process of screening, evaluating and prioritizing RE projects or promotion schemes
- Support to project developers and government representatives on technical, legal, financial and economic aspects of selected projects.
- Monitoring of selected projects during critical phases of their development and reporting of required action.
- Compilation of experiences with the selected projects and support to ECREEE / other institutions in the region in the dissemination of key findings and lessons learnt.
- Assistance to ECREEE and GIZ in supporting selected ECOWAS member states in creating an enabling legal, regulatory and administrative framework for grid-connected RE projects.
The above tasks cover PV, wind, small hydropower and biomass technology.
