Development of a hybrid floating photovoltaic system with compressed air energy storage (CAES)
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2025.01.078-089
Abstract
This study presents the development of a hybrid system combining a floating photovoltaic platform with a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system. The research focuses on theoretical and design aspects, including the integration of solar panels and the CAES system to enhance energy supply efficiency and reliability. Modeling results demonstrated that this combination increases solar panel performance by 10-15% through water cooling and achieves an energy storage efficiency of 41%, making the system competitive with traditional energy storage methods. Experiments confirmed the system’s stability under various climatic conditions and variable loads. The proposed solution offers significant environmental and economic potential, making it highly relevant for renewable energy applications, particularly for companies advancing sustainable energy systems.
