Hybridization of an Alpine pumped-storage hydropower plant with floating solar photovoltaics: a study from the water resource perspective Variable renewable energy sources, like wind and solar power, are crucial for decarbonizing electricity systems, but pose challenges due to their inte…

🔋 Hourly simulations show that pairing a #Hydropower plant with floating solar #PV (50% of HP capacity) can:
(i) increase #AnnualProduction by 20%
(ii) improve #SystemReliability
(iii) enable up to 50% more #EnvironmentalFlow in the hot summer season 🌞💧
