Releasing rotating PV ranges on cooling down towers
Swedish scientists have proposed the setup of revolving and rotating PV varieties on the cooling towers of thermal power plants. While such projects are perfect in nations with minimal land, installment costs are likewise more affordable than for ground-mounted or rooftop PV plants because of proximity to the grid, the scientists claim.

Coupling pumped hydro with renewables and other storage technologies
The combination of pumped hydro with other storage technologies can increase renewables penetration, improve operational safety and reduce maintenance costs at large-scale hydropower plants, according to new research. The study also focuses on techniques to determine the optimal size of renewables-based pumped hydro storage systems. Costs for hybrid solar-pumped hydro projects currently range from $0.098/kWh to $1.36/kWh.
