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.

Lately, their relation to capital flows have attracted growing interest due to the failure of macroeconomic fundamentals to explain them. READ MORE

6. 5. New natural gas power plants in the EU : -The risks of stranded assets under different fuel and carbon price scenarios

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

   Author : John Mogren Olsson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Current and planned fossil fuelled electricity generation is expected to meet or exceed the global carbon budget for 2°C, without including emissions from any other economic sector. At the current rate, the EU ETS will stop issuing new emissions allowances to industry and power plants before 2040. READ MORE
