1. 1. 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.

3. 2. Development of an investment model for pumped storage hydropower

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

   Author : Pontus Gustavsson; Eric Swanmark; [2023]
   Keywords : pumped storage hydropower; investment models; energy storage; grid balancing;

   Abstract : The energy market is evolving, with a prediction of heavily increased consumption and, consequently, increased production. In parallel, EU directives with targets prioritising fossil-free electricity production, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and becoming climate neutral by 2050, poses a challenge for the current state of electricity production in the Nordics.

4. 3. Study on feasibility of small-scale pumped hydro storage- A case study in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Prashant Niroula; [2023]
   Keywords : energy storage; pumped hydropower; electricity market; investment; new technologies; feasibility; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The European union has been aggressively pushing forward with policies favoring renewable sources of energy. As a result, the share of intermittent renewables in the European power grid is rising and is expected to grow even more in the coming decade. The Swedish energy agency also forecast huge growth in wind power. READ MORE

5. 4. Alternative Energy Storage Solutions and Future Scenarios of the Austerland Energy System

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Jennie Lindblom; [2022]
   Keywords : Gotland; Östergarnslandet; Polygeneration system; Homer Pro; Solar PV; Wind power; Energy storage; Battery; Hydrogen; Flywheel; Redox Flow battery; Pumped Hydro; Sustainable development.; Gotland; Östergarnslandet; Poly-genererings system; Homer Pro; Solceller; Vindkraft; Energilagring; Batterier; Vätgas; Svänghjul; Redox Flödesbatteri; Pumpkraftverket; Hållbar utveckling.;

   Abstract : The project Austerland Energi at the eastern tip of the island of Gotland called Östergarnslandet was started as a response to the larger project Omställning Gotland funded by the Swedish government as an effort for a pilot project to convert to renewable energy to reach zero CO2-emissions for the country in 2045. The current plan for the Austerland energy system is a solar PV and wind production base with energy storage in the form of batteries and hydrogen which also can be used as vehicle fuel. READ MORE
