Authors confirmed that the annual energy productivity improvements are within the interval 0.31–2.59 % while the unit electricity cost is ranged between 50.3 €/MWh and 96.2 €/MWh according to the solar energy potential of the site and adopted technology.
At present, solar energy conversion technologies face cost and scalability hurdles in the technologies required for a complete energy system. To provide a truly widespread primary energy source, solar energy must be captured, converted, and stored in a cost-effective fashion.
This optimization endeavor resulted in a 12.1 % reduction in the unit cost of electricity production and a 41.9 % decrease in cooling costs. In the validation section, the methodology and results of this study were rigorously cross-referenced with existing literature to ensure accuracy and reliability.
This conversion process allows for optimal exploitation of solar radiation, leading to higher overall efficiency. Also, because heat is dissipated to a working fluid, the operating temperature of PV cells tends to decrease, which results in higher electrical performance.
This paper attempts to demonstrate how the cost effectiveness of electrical power system could be maximized through the integration of wind, solar and hydropower systems and comparison at different penetration levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% on cost effectiveness of electric power generation.
Various demonstration plants in China, India, and elsewhere have been developed and are operational. Such type of systems helps in minimizing the PV panel surface temperature, reduce the water evaporation, enhance the panel life, and increase the power production. There have been countless efforts to improve the performance of PV systems.
