BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 19. For the 100kW
floating photo voltaic photovoltaic (FPV) Pilot Project in Boyukshor lake,
Azerbaijan, the set up, closing positioning and anchoring is
anticipated to be accomplished in September 2023, the Asian Development
Bank (ADB), which is engaged within the challenge’s implementation, informed
Trend.
Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Energy is ADB’s accomplice on this
challenge. The ADB mentioned that the meeting of the floating island with
the photo voltaic panels has lately been finalized by the contractor.
As for a doable choice on upscaling, the Bank mentioned it should
rely on operations of the FPV pilot challenge in addition to additional
discussions with all stakeholders concerned.
“ADB is dedicated to help the federal government of Azerbaijan in its
efforts for a inexperienced power sector growth. The 100kW FPV pilot
challenge is a part of a wider Technical Assistance offered by ADB to
Azerbaijan. In addition to the 100kW FPV Pilot Project in Boyukshor
Lake, the Technical Assistance additionally covers the event of
feasibility research and enterprise fashions, which encourage long-term
engagement of the personal sector for the set up of
utility-scale FPV vegetation. By selling this revolutionary renewable
power know-how, ADB helps the federal government of Azerbaijan in its
efforts for a low-carbon growth,” mentioned the Bank.
While FPV requires stricter requirements, given the publicity to
water, it has benefits over land-based photovoltaic, because it (i)
frees up land for different makes use of and saves on land acquisition and
preparation prices, (ii) permits increased yields due to the cooling
impact of water, (iii) conserves water by means of decreased evaporation,
(iv) has available water for module cleansing, and (v) is
fast to put in. FPV techniques have been largely put in on lakes,
irrigation ponds, and reservoirs. Some vegetation have been constructed and
examined in marine environments, and pile- or stilt-mounted vegetation
have been put in over aquaculture farms, canals, and
wetlands.
