Solar Electricity Generation from Floating Photovoltaics Installed in Water Dams: A Case Study from the Island of Crete, Greece | Chapter 5 | Research Highlights in Science and Technology Vol. 5

 This affiliate investigate the likelihood of installing floating photovoltaics in the existent water reservoirs in the island of Crete, Greece. Solar energy is very main for heat and power generation in the current generation of climate change and the worldwide efforts for allure mitigation. Deployment of solar photovoltaics for power generation evolves rapidly completely countries. Installation of floating cosmic photovoltaics in water bodies resides of a new and promising technology. Floating cosmic photovoltaics can be equipped in existing hydro-energetic plants transforming them to composite energy schemes generating two together hydro and solar electricity. Data on existent water dams in Crete were used and the theoretical power of floating photovoltaics in addition to their potential for electricity creation were evaluated. It has existed estimated that the nominal capacity of floating photovoltaics that maybe installed in these water dams, accompanying coverage ratio at 0.1 to 0.3, changes between 55.76 MWp to 167.3 MWp while the annual power generation from the floating photovoltaics changes between 78.3 GWh to 234.9 GWh. The results are main since they signify that deployment of FPVs as an alternative electronics to terrestrial PVs now used in Crete has many benefits combining cosmic electricity creation with water funds and less use of valuable land. The annual electricity generation from the abovementioned buoyant panels corresponds at 2.57% to 7.72% of the annual power consumption in Crete in 2018. According to our research, it is attainable to put floating cosmic photovoltaics in Crete's existing water dams, bearing large amounts of green electricity accompanying a variety of supplementary environmental benefits. Policymakers, local and territorial authorities, energy firms, and proprietor of the island's water dams manage all benefit from the current study.
