Register online for the SOLAR-HYDRO 2024

International conference for floating solar PV on dam reservoirs and solar-hydro hybridization

FPV schemes and other RE hybrid systems are advancing worldwide at a tremendous rate and those embarking on new schemes will benefit from hearing of the latest available technology, design issues and safety enhancement, as well as social and environmental benefits.

The Solar-Hydro 2024 event brings hydropower experts, including reservoir owners and operators, consulting engineers and dam safety experts, together with professionals from the solar PV sector, especially those creating innovative systems for floating solar PV, and those designing anchorage and mooring systems.

AFRY's Paper contribution to the conference

AFRY was involved in the project "Study on Sustainable Measures of Hydrological Risk Mitigation in Cameroon" from 2022 until 2024, where we worked for the Cameroonian Ministry of Water Resources and Energy. A part of this study was to evaluate the potential benefit of the installation of floating solar panels on existing and planned reservoirs in Cameroon.

Given a set of general assumptions of the boundary conditions, a FPV unit was defined, and then applied to the selected potential sites. The resulting power potentials for each of the potential sites were estimated based on the available water surface and the local irradiation conditions, the P50 were found to reach between 20.5 GWh and 1719.0 GWh.

This work will be presented as part of Session 2 of the Conference (Monday 22nd of April).
