Green cottage power supply and floating solar power plant: A Techno-Economic analysis

Iran's energy sector, which includes power generation, transportation, industry, buildings, and homes, is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Plans for efficient design and development of maximum power control systems aim to increase the share of renewable energy in electricity usage. Floating photovoltaic systems combine existing photovoltaic systems with a floating structure to generate clean energy and integrate existing dams to enhance power sources. The results indicate that installing a hybrid floating solar power plant at a level of more than ۱ km۲ over the dam reservoir's surface provides ۱۹۴ GWh to ۲۵۷ GWh of electricity per year. Installation floating photovoltaic plant would supply electricity for ۲۲۶۰ green cottages while also improving the environment and reducing water evaporation. Adding a floating solar power plant with ۱۰% of the lake reservoir cover of six dams saves ۷۰.۷ million cubic meters of water per year which is enough to meet the annual needs of one million people. This study fills a research gap in the energy sector by studying the economics of hybrid renewable energy systems in Net-zero energy buildings.
