The usual methods for optimal sizing of photovoltaic (PV) irrigation water pumping systems, which separately considered the demand for hydraulic energy and possibilities of its production from available solar energy with the PV pumping system, are not optimal. However, by systematic approach to...

The paper presents a new type of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) suitable for exploitation watercourse with periodical-temporary water flow. This innovative solution consist of Hydroelectric Plant (HEP) and solar Photovoltaic (PV) generator working together as one hybrid power plant, producing...

This work presents the main features of the new power plant that comprises the modified reversible hydroelectric (HE) power plant operating together with the photovoltaic (PV) power plant. Such Solar Hydroelectric Power Plant (SHE) uses solar energy as the only input for production of solar and...

This paper analyses the hybrid solar and hydro (SHE) system as a unique technological concept of the sustainable energy system that can provide continuous electric power and energy supply to its consumers and the possibilities of its implementation in Europe and areas with similar climate. The...

This paper analyses the reality of total renewable electricity scenario (TRES) from renewable energy sources (RES) as a totally green strategy of electric energy production. The paper is based on the EREC's Agency forecast until the year 2040, which foresees the share of 82% of RES, extended to...

This paper presents the artificial water inflow created by the photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal (ST) generator which pumps it into the upper water/energy storage of pump storage hydroelectric (PSH) for continuous green energy production. Formulas have been derived for the calculation of...

In the last 50 years, the broader Split area underwent anintensive development and urbanisation. Unfortunately, intensivedevelopment has not been followed by equally intensiveinfrastructure construction, especially wastewater infrastructure.In less than four decades, this attractive and...

The objective pursued in water quality management is to secure water qualities such that marginal cost of the cleaning water equals the accuring marginal benefits. It is the purpose of this paper to show how the methods of system analysis may be used to plan more economical new pollution control...
