“…SAM was also applied largely by many researchers (Martinopoulos, 2020 ). SAM is a reliable software and had been used recently many times for the calculation and analysis of renewable systems such as (da Silva, 2017 ; Hirbodi et al 2020 ; Jung et al 2021 ). The model calculated the system’s alternate current (AC) electrical output on an hourly rate by considering solar energy conversion to direct current (DC) electricity, DC to AC electricity altering effectiveness in the inverter, the variation in the surrounding air and warmth, and it also factored in losses related to each component.…”

Hybrid renewable energy sources are sustainable and eco-friendly and challenge the alternative sources of conventional energy production facilities. Pakistan’s present energy dilemma is a serious impediment to its economic progress. This paper proposes a techno-economic analysis of commercial-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems for commercial agricultural farms in Punjab, Pakistan. A survey was conducted to gather the load data of the farms from major cities of north, center, and south Punjab. For the PV system design, the K-means approach was used to cluster data from 93 farmers into nine clusters with similar electrical consumption. A complete technical, economic, and environmental study is undertaken of the PV systems deployed in five selected cities. The most practical locations are Attock and Multan, which have the lowest Levelized Cost of Energy at 5.52 and 5.37 cents/kWh, respectively. PV installations are nevertheless technically, economically, and environmentally feasible for all cities. Throughout its lifespan, the planned PV system has the potential for Faisalabad and Chiniot to minimize 154 metric tons of emissions, resulting in a greener environment.

“…In 2021, Jung et al conducted a techno-economic assessment in the own-consumption market segment for a horticulture farm assessing the AV business case from the perspective of a small-scale farmer. The authors monetized AV synergies with agriculture accounting for opportunity cost of maintaining cropland and for the substitution of shading nets by PV modules [12]. Subsequently, Jung & Salmon proposed in 2021 a metric to calculate the price for covering cropland of an AV system in comparison to the cost of conventional shading nets in blueberry farming [13].…”

Agrivoltaics (AV) combines photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation with agriculture on the same land. In Chile, despite high potential, AV is not yet commercialized due to high investment cost. To close the remaining cost gap to conventional PV, we shed light on a set of AV specific synergies in the market segment of Small Distributed Generation Facilities. Through a techno-economic model, this paper monetizes AV synergies to derive the economic performance of a sun tracked AV system over blueberries for the PV stakeholder. The study reveals that tracked AV systems can be operated with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 5.2% at the threshold of profitability. This is enabled due to the exploitation of synergies within the market segment that improve IRR for the PV stakeholder by 2.5%. Still, sun-tracked AV requires compulsory technology grants between 5 – 10 USD/MWh to be economically implemented. The results indicate the necessity for regulative adaption. Legislation must open agricultural land for AV project development to enable the commercialization.

“…Adicionalmente, se multiplica con un factor de corrección (FC) basado en la reducción de densidad de los módulos en instalaciones agrovoltaicas. El valor de (FC) es el resultado del promedio de la densidad de módulos (Dupraz et al, 2011), la reducción de área cubierta por los módulos (Jung et al, 2021), y la proporción entre la separación de los módulos fotovoltaicos en sistemas convencionales y agrovoltaicos (Trommsdorff et al, 2021).…”

“…Para conocer si el cambio de acimut de la configuración de los paneles tendría un efecto notable en la irradiancia que incide en los cultivos, se realizó una comparación entre 180° y 130°, basado en un análisis realizado en Chile (Jung et al, 2021). Al analizar los pixeles de las imágenes exportadas en blanco y negro, se observó que había mayor incidencia de radiación solar al usar un acimut de 130°.…”

“…Se han realizado estudios sobre agrovoltaica en Alemania y Chile, en los cuales se ha llegado a aplicar el concepto de manera práctica, obteniendo resultados bajo condiciones reales. En el estudio realizado en Chile se determinó que la agrovoltaica puede ser una opción económicamente viable para agricultores (Jung et al, 2021). Además, en Alemania, se notó un beneficio en el uso de la agrovoltaica, ayudando en la resiliencia de los cultivos en lugares con alta radiación solar y acceso limitado al agua (Trommsdorff et al, 2021).…”

Estimación del potencial de la agrovoltaica en Honduras a partir de modelos y datos geoespaciales

Introducción. El incremento de la demanda de energía limpia y sostenible, la cual se estima que su principal oferta provendrá de la energía solar fotovoltaica, tiene el potencial de incrementar la competencia por terrenos entre la energía y la producción de alimentos. Honduras tiene un índice de electrificación bajo y padece de inseguridad alimentaria en todo su territorio, especialmente en los departamentos del corredor seco. Para reducir la futura competencia entre la generación de electricidad y el crecimiento de cultivos, y mejorar la resiliencia de la población hondureña ante los efectos del cambio climático; se propone la agrovoltaica como una solución. Métodos. Se utilizaron modelos de simulación de cultivos y de módulos fotovoltaicos para calcular el LER (Razón Equivalente de la Tierra). Resultados. Se determinó un LER de 124.92% para una instalación agrovoltaica de 1 hectárea, utilizando papas como el cultivo, en San Andrés, Lempira. Adicionalmente, el LER para un cultivo C3 genérico, en base a un modelo de fotosíntesis, se calculó para toda la extensión territorial de Honduras, lo cual resultó en un rango entre 135.45% hasta 149.34%. Conclusión. Los modelos indican que el territorio hondureño posiblemente se presta para un alto aprovechamiento de la agrovoltaica.
