Since the main problem of continuous energy supply from photovoltaic (PV) power plants is intermittence and inability to provide continuous energy supply (see previous blog posts), the idea to combine hydro energy with photovoltaic power has been proposed as for sustainable energy production.
The combination of both these aspects creates a new type of sustainable hybrid power plant which can work continuously, using solar energy as primary energy source and water for energy storage. This type of hybrid electric power plant does not emit greenhouse gases, produce waste nor does it significantly exploit water resources while the risks to humans and the environment are far smaller than when using conventional technology.
As a result this sustainable idea proposed by Margeta and Glasnovic (2012) particularly interested me. For those wanting more detail on the nitty gritty of the method follow the embedded link.
