“…Air-cooled FPV systems require more complex evaluations than the simple lower-than-LPV temperature assumption. The most recent literature seems to converge on the dominance of wind-cooling (through convection) over water-cooling (through radiation) (Dörenkämper et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2018;Peters and Nobre, 2022;Tina et al, 2021b). The design of the FPV system is likely to play a key role in the thermal behavior, as small footprints and open designs (i.e.…”

“…The same authors made use of the Catania's system data to develop a thermal model for FPV (Tina et al, 2021b), based on that proposed in (Tina et al, 2020). In addition to convection, they took into account also the cooling effect of radiation and evaporation, finding errors < 1 degree in temperature estimation.…”

“…Therefore, more it is imperative to apply more sustainable resources to mitigating these destructive processes [66]. Renewable energy resources, such as wind [67], solar [68], biomass [69] and geothermal energy [70], as well as other sources [71], can provide an economic and ecological alternative to fossil fuels to satisfy the increasingly global energy demand. Meanwhile, the control of decarbonization also requires the utilization of new technologies and energy sources [72].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the supply chains of traditional fossil fuels. According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) from 2020, oil-refining activity fell by more than the IEA had anticipated. It was also assumed that the demand in 2021 would likely be 2.6 million bpd below the 2019 levels. However, renewable markets have shown strong resilience during the crisis. It was determined that renewables are on track to meet 80% of the growth in electricity demand over the next 10 years and that sustainable energy will act as the primary source of electricity production instead of coal. On the other hand, the report also emphasized that measures for reducing environmental pollution and CO2 emissions are still insufficient and that significant current investments should be further expanded. The Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) conference series is dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for improving the sustainability of development by decoupling growth from the use of natural resources. The 15th SDEWES conference was held online from 1–5 September 2020; more than 300 reports with 7 special sections were organized on the virtual conference platform. This paper presents the major achievements of the recommended papers in the Special Issue of Energies. Additionally, related studies connected to the above papers published in the SDEWES series are also introduced, including the four main research fields of energy saving and emission reduction, renewable energy applications, the development of district heating systems, and the economic assessment of sustainable energy.

“…FPV technology was first commissioned in Aichi, Japan, in 2007, with a capacity of 20 MW to facilitate research on solar power generation on water surfaces [1]. Rapidly increasing FPV SPPs worldwide have applications in countries such as China, India, the Republic of Korea, and Brazil [2]. One of the reasons for the rapid spread of FPV SPPs is the cooling effect of evaporating water.…”

In this study, remote sensing (RS) was used to determine the 20-year area and shoreline changes of Demirköprü Dam reservoir. Using a geographical information system (GIS) solar analysis tool, annual and monthly total global horizontal irradiance (GHI) values were calculated within the area of the reservoir’s shorelines based on 20-years of observations. The regional theoretical capacity factor (RTCF) proposed in this study was modelled using total annual GHI values. The water surface was divided into four regions using RTCFs 94.97%, 4.92%, 0.08%, and 0.02% of the total water surface area were classified as RTCF21, RTCF20, RTCF19, and RTCF18, respectively. The annual electrical energy potentials per unit for each RTCF were calculated. The novel method developed in this study for determining the optimum location of FPV SPPs to be installed on water surfaces reveals the importance of evaluating land topography and considering annual patterns of shading.
