“…Many countries, political and economic unions or organizations have therefore established their own renewable energy policy frameworks [2] (e.g. in the European Union [3]). Typically, various targets have been implemented by government policies in order to increase the share of renewable energy (RE) sources in power networks [2].…”

An integrated GIS and robust optimization framework for solar PV plant planning scenarios at utility scale

et al. 2020

Today, the overall goal of energy transition planning is to seek an optimal strategy for increasing the share of renewable sources in existing power networks, such that the growing power demand is satisfied at manageable short/long term investment. In this paper we address the problem of PV penetration in electricity networks, by considering both 1) the spatial issue of site selection and size, and 2) the temporal aspect of hourly load and demand satisfaction, in addition with the investment and maintenance costs to guarantee a viable and reliable solution. We propose to address this spatio-temporal optimization problem through an integrated GIS and robust optimization model, that allows handling of the ubiquitous dependencies between resource and demand time variability and the selection of optimal sites of renewable power generation. Our approach contributes to the integration of the multi-dimensional and combinatorial aspects of this problem, gathering geographical layers (regional or national scale) and temporal packing (hourly time stamp) constraints, and cost functions. This model computes the optimal geographical location and size of PV facilities allowing energy planning targets to be met at minimal cost in a reliable manner. In this paper, we illustrate our approach by studying the penetration of large-scale solar PV in the French Guiana's power system. Among the results, we show for instance that: 1) our approach performs geographical aggregation with real contextual data, i.e. balances the intermittency of RE sources by spreading out the corresponding installations (location + size) across the territory; 2) the total installed PV capacity can be doubled by removing the 35 % penetration limit on intermittent power without exceeding hourly demand; 3) the safest investment scenario is below 30 MW of new PV facilities (≈ 45 Me and 2 plants), though it is theoretically possible to install up to 45 MW (>120 Me and 11 plants).

“…Accordingly, RE-based electricity generation must be considerably increased so as to ultimately replace chemical energy carriers. For example, by 2030, up to 50% of electricity production in the European Union (EU) will need to come from RE in order to meet the climate goal of reducing GHG emissions to 55% of 1990 levels by that time [3].…”

“…While the global potential of hydropower has already been largely exploited, continuous growth is expected in wind turbine and photovoltaic system installations [3]. In 2018, electricity production from PV was able to provide 7.6% of the overall electricity demand in Germany, while globally only about 3% was provided by this technology [4].…”

Characteristics of a New Polymer Electrolyte Electrolysis Technique with Only Cathodic Media Supply Coupled to a Photovoltaic Panel

Herein we discuss polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysis stacks and systems we developed that are optimized for direct coupling to a photovoltaic (PV) panel. One advantage of PEM systems is their use of non-corrosive and non-toxic media. Thus, safe outdoor operation can be guaranteed, even in the case of a leakage. The system design was adapted to reduce the number of connection tubes, allowing for a series connection of multiple stacks at low cost and high reliability. One coupled PEM/PV system was tested under various temperature and irradiance conditions. All system components were also thoroughly characterized. The characterization was used to calibrate simple models of the individual components. Finally, the models were used to predict the system’s solar-to-hydrogen efficiency under different operating conditions and to find an optimal configuration for real-world outdoor operation.
