The global surge in large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems, driven by technological advancements and cost reductions, has prompted increased interest in Floating PV (FPV) as a preferred alternative. FPV, with its efficiency and environmental benefits, offers a unique advantage by utilizing space on dams, lakes, and reservoirs for clean energy generation without competing for land use. Despite the promise of FPV, its implementation in Sudan has not been thoroughly analyzed. This study addresses this gap by exploring the feasibility and potential of FPV at Jebel Aulia Dam and Sennar Dam in Sudan, providing crucial insights for the first time. The developed FPV systems were meticulously evaluated using PVsys software. The results reveal that investing in FPV systems on dam reservoirs significantly enhances power system reliability, generates additional clean energy, meets rising energy demands, and reduces carbon emissions. This underscores the potential of FPV systems as a promising solution for sustainable energy growth, addressing environmental concerns and contributing to a greener future. Furthermore, the integration of FPV on dam reservoirs aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showcasing its role in advancing a more sustainable and inclusive energy landscape. By increasing the energy output of hydropower facilities through FPV, this research under-scores the dual benefits of contributing to SDGs and fostering environmental sustainability in Sudan’s energy sector.

摘要

The global surge in large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems, driven by technological advancements and cost reductions, has prompted increased interest in Floating PV (FPV) as a preferred alternative. FPV, with its efficiency and environmental benefits, offers a unique advantage by utilizing space on dams, lakes, and reservoirs for clean energy generation without competing for land use. Despite the promise of FPV, its implementation in Sudan has not been thoroughly analyzed. This study addresses this gap by exploring the feasibility and potential of FPV at Jebel Aulia Dam and Sennar Dam in Sudan, providing crucial insights for the first time. The developed FPV systems were meticulously evaluated using PVsys software. The results reveal that investing in FPV systems on dam reservoirs significantly enhances power system reliability, generates additional clean energy, meets rising energy demands, and reduces carbon emissions. This underscores the potential of FPV systems as a promising solution for sustainable energy growth, addressing environmental concerns and contributing to a greener future. Furthermore, the integration of FPV on dam reservoirs aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showcasing its role in advancing a more sustainable and inclusive energy landscape. By increasing the energy output of hydropower facilities through FPV, this research under-scores the dual benefits of contributing to SDGs and fostering environmental sustainability in Sudan’s energy sector.
