“…The extra power capacity results from the lower temperature under the modules, the increased albedo, and the reflection of solar radiation into the water surrounding the structure. 37,75,84 As the SAM does not enable the calculus of the generation from an FSPV system, some adaptations on simulated losses were applied to reach the 5.25% of extra generation, Table 3.…”

This paper proposes the use of a floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) power plant as an alternative renewable energy resource for the San Francisco River Integration Project (SFIP), which aims to deliver water to 12 million people in the Brazilian semiarid. The SFIP requires considerable amounts of energy in a region that has had increasing electricity costs and consumption of water in the past decade. By simulating an FSPV power plant at the System Advisor Model (SAM) using techniques and parameters of real FSPV projects, the results demonstrated the techno-economic feasibility of this technology linked to the SFIP. The economic outcomes are positive net present value (NPV), $2.8 million, and a payback varying from 10.5 to 11.7 years. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of $32.17/MWh is smaller than the current energy rates paid by the SFIP administrator, and the water costs to final consumers could be reduced by 40%. In addition, the FSPV's capacity factor was 21.1%, and the system could minimize water evaporation from one of the SFIP's reservoirs by 16.7%. The system can also create revenues for the San Francisco and Parnaiba Valleys Development Company (CODEVASF) by trading the excess of electricity with the grid. This paper also analyses the FSPV's environmental impacts and its relevance under the water-energy nexus in the Brazilian Northeast. The FSPV could minimize the SFIP's operational costs, avoid environmental impacts, and improve the efficiency of water and energy management. Such components are crucial when analyzing the water-energy nexus in such a region, marked by strong competition for water access and long periods of drought.

Abstract. The development of cities that adopt smart is very much around the world, many cities in the world have developed the concept of a smart city in all aspects of life from identity to law enforcement systems in the traffic sector, smart cities have begun to be implemented in the city of Jakarta from 2000 onwards, Starting from the online payment system to the use of CCTV in law enforcement in the city of Jakarta, almost all aspects of government have used the system, from absences to public service applications, in this study using the literature review method, by studying many previous studies in order to deepen research that is is being carried out and finding renewable research problems, this research will produce a proposed system that can be used in the future as a concept for the development of a smart city Jakarta, with the proposed system as renewable research from existing research.

“…Moreover, FPV can produce more energy than conventional land PV systems (Choi 2014a;Sahu et al 2016;Singh et al 2016) due to the evaporation on the back of the panels which helps to lower the PV cells temperature increasing its efficiency. This alternative might be used to prevent water loss in lakes and reservoirs (Lee et al 2014;Santafé et al 2014a;Singh et al 2016;Wästhage 2017). There are floating systems being used in lakes for agriculture and pit lakes from open-cut mines all over the world.…”

Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy installations are growing all over the world as a promising renewable alternative to generate electricity. However, many studies have highlighted some drawbacks associated with the installation and operation of conventional solar energy power plants. Thus, floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems have been emerging as a new concept in solar energy to lessen negative environmental impacts caused by allocation of conventional PV facilities. This paper is an overview of the potential negative and positive environmental impacts caused by photovoltaic systems with particular interest on large-scale conventional and floating photovoltaic. This study addresses and compares the impacts at all phases of project implementation, which covers planning, construction, and operation and decommissioning, focusing on ambient located in the tropics. The overall impacts associated with project allocation such as deforestation (for the project implementation and site accessing), bird mortality, erosion, runoff, and change in microclimate are expected to have higher magnitudes for the implementation of conventional PV facilities. The results highlight advantages of FPV over conventional PV during the operational and decommissioning phases as well. Though, further studies are required to assess both qualitative and quantitative aspects of installations in similar areas.
