Floating photovoltaics consists of a new and fast-growing technology worldwide. Installations of these novel green energy systems have not been developed so far in Greece. The aim of the current work is to investigate the potential of installing floating photovoltaic systems in Greek water bodies. The existing water reservoirs in Greece have been identified while their water surface that allows the installation of solar panels, the nominal power of the floating photovoltaics and the generated solar electricity have been estimated. The nominal power of floating photovoltaics which can be installed in the existing 128 water reservoirs in Greece covering 10% to 30% of their surface varies between 4.77 GWp to 14.31 GWp while the annual generated electricity at 6,435.2 GWh to 19,305.6 GWh corresponding at 12.40% to 37.20% of the total annual electricity consumption in the country. The annual water evaporation savings, due to installation of floating photovoltaics, have been calculated at 71.55 mil. M3 to 214.65 mil. M3 while the increased annual electricity gain at 321.76 GWh to 1,930.56 GWh. The results indicate that significant amounts of electricity can be generated with floating photovoltaics installed in water reservoirs in Greece. They could be useful to policy makers who are developing policies to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 in Greece and to energy companies who are willing to invest in these novel green energy technologies.

Solar energy is the powerhouse where all potential and classified renewable energies lug their sources. The energy transformation from the Sun to electricity requires an adequate control scheme to maximise the generated power and enhance the system efficiency. Besides, more than half of solar irradiation on conventional PV panels is lost. The PV/T modules have been introduced to convert the lost irradiation to heat. Thus, a systematic review of system components, development, and strategies for grid-connected solar Photovoltaics (PVs) plants is presented. Two solar PVs, traditional PV and thermal (PV/T), are evaluated. Each grid-tied PV component is considered a subsystem to analyse the potential improvement of grid-connected PVs. This is from solar resources to grid-tied PV inverter techniques. An intensive assessment of the system improvements is presented to evaluate PV plants’ benefits, challenges, and potential solutions. The improvement trends for the novel generation of grid-connected PV systems consist of applying innovative approaches. It is also found that intelligent strategies optimally ensure the overall efficiency of grid-tied PVs using real-time control and measurement under innovative applications and technologies. These methods effectively assist in enhancing grid-tied diverse solar power approaches. Therefore, this paper would offer a significant foundation for advanced research into the subject of grid-tied PV and PV/T and their innovation and/or technology development.

To address the future growth in energy demands, complete renewable power generation from environmental assets demands unique methodologies from every investigator. Wind energy harvesting in residential areas is one such approach. But the urban landscape and the physical challenges restrict the erection of small-scale wind turbines. Further, a significant degree of uncertainty leads to a lack of awareness of how dispersion in urban environments impacts turbine performance. This research looks into the potential productivity of wind turbine installations in urban areas, considering turbulence. These unique ambient conditions prevailing in a dynamic environment compared to flat terrains have made the harnessing of wind energy very difficult. Many researchers are still trying to find an effective methodology in these constrained circumstances. Since the characteristics of small-scale wind turbine models are undetermined, large-scale turbines fared well compared to small-scale wind turbine models. The feasibility and success of small and medium turbines in community homes were investigated in this study. The origins of the very uncertain nature of atmospheric boundary layer limitations are discussed in this work and subsequent successful developments by different researchers.
