  1. 1. Estimating Photovoltaic capacity using customs data : Model development of the tool NJORD and photovoltaics' characterization and impact on the African continent

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Author : Albin Åbrink; [2023]
    Keywords : Photovoltaic; Trade analysis; Development Goals; Africa;

    Abstract : Photovoltaics (PV) is one of the fastest growing power sources in the world in the last twenty years, being the most installed power source in almost half of the world's countries in 2020. Despite this, precise tracking of installations of PV does not exist in most of the world's markets due to PVs unique scalability and modularity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Måns Rosberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Solarpower; Hybrid power production; Solar-hydro hybrid power; Reservoir storage; Energy storage; Pumped hydro power; Floating PV; PV; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and economic viability of integrating solar panels with an existing grid connection point at a hydro power plant, along with the introduction of an energy storage solution using a hydro power plant reservoir.
