Prof. Dr. Ayman Ibrahim, President of Port Said University, inaugurated (an integrated system project for floating solar cells) at the Faculty of Engineering, in the presence of Eng. Emad Ishak, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Canal Marine Construction Company, Prof. Dr. Rawia Rizk, Vice President for Postgraduate Studies and Research Affairs, Prof. Dr. Taha Farrag, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, and Prof. Dr. Nabil Al-Minshawi, Executive Director of the projectThe project aims to exploit the bright solar energy on the Egyptian territorial water lakes to obtain the highest production of solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. Egypt is represented in the northern Egyptian lakes. For his part, Dr. Nabil Al-Minshawi, Executive Director of the project from the Egyptian side, stated that the project comes in partnership with the University of “Strasclyde in Scotland” and is implemented by the Canal Marine Construction Company, one of the Suez Canal Authority companies. To transfer the floating basin to the project site after conducting the necessary experiments in the navigational channel first, where the marine platform was built inside the company’s workshops. While the university president expressed his happiness with the completion of the first phase of the project by establishing the floating basin as a simulating model for the northern Egyptian lakes, thanking Lieutenant General Osama Rabie, head of the Suez Canal Authority for his guidance The efforts of the Canal Construction Company to implement the project under the supervision of Engineer Imad Ishaq, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company. The President of the University stated that a suitable site was provided within the College of Engineering to carry out the work in order to be commensurate with the size of the project, where an industrial water basin was constructed with an area of 10 meters * 11 meters, then a Implementation of the second phase of the project by installing solar cells, energy storage systems and auxiliary devices within less than a month after the completion of experiments Performance inside an aquarium.
