The U.S. based researchers said linking solar with hydro in a full hybrid system configuration may result - at best - in the deployment of 7,593 GW for an estimated annual power generation of 10,616 TWh and a 20% reservoir coverage. And combining solar with hydro in this way brings further benefits, including improved system operation at different time scales, more opportunities for storage thanks to pumped hydro, increased utilization rates of transmission lines, reduced PV curtailment, and lower interconnection costs and water evaporation.Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's National ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
