LARGE SCALE HYBRID PV HYDRO ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION IN FLOATING DEVICES ON WATER Innovative Approach to Accelerate the Impact of PV in worldwide Power Production

摘要

The combination of PV and hydro power opens up new potential in photovoltaic power generation. The hydro electric reservoir can be the platform and the storage for a grid-connected PV plant. In this paper, a scenario and a case study for such a PV system in Switzerland is discussed. In co-operation with a Norwegian specialist team on arctic research, a floating PV platform will be designed and constructed. Several new aspects of PV power generation have to be analysed. The goal of this project is to establish a pilot plant in Switzerland and in Norway, to gain further knowledge and experience in the field of "PV on the Water".
