    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

  6. 10. Conjunctive Operation of Hydro and Solar PV Power with Pumped Storage at Kafue Gorge Power Station (Zambia)

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

    Author : Elvis Nyirenda; [2019]
    Keywords : Photovoltaic; Hydro; Power; Storage; Pumped Hydro Storage; Zambia;

    Abstract : This report covers the work carried out to redesign the two existing conventional hydro power stations in Zambia on the Kafue river into the pumped storage facility with solar photovoltaic power so that security of supply and water conservation is achieved to reduce the power deficits during the dry and drought periods. The two stations are Kafue gorge upper power station (KGUPS) and Kafue gorge lower power station (KGLPS) with an installed capacity of 990 MW and 750 MW respectively. READ MORE
