Fraunhofer ISE, TMU build 'aquavoltaic' system for microalgae production

The system can reportedly reduce electricity costs in aquaculture. It consists of an open raceway pond, a mechanical paddle wheel, a motor and power transmission system, a motor speed control circuit, a 100 W photovoltaic module, and 12-V battery with a capacity of 60 Ah, an inverter, and a 10-A charge controller. Scientists from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) and the Tarbiat Modares University (TMU) in Iran have designed a PV system for microalgae and electricity co-production. They explained that aquaculture facilities have commonly high electricity ...
