Complementary Optimization of Hydropower with Pumped Hydro Storage–Photovoltaic Plant for All-Day Peak Electricity Demand in Malawi

Complementary Optimization of Hydropower with Pumped Hydro Storage–Photovoltaic Plant for All-Day Peak Electricity Demand in Malawi

Solar energy is currently dispatched ahead of other renewable energy sources. For the first time, this study presents a concept of exploiting temporary–periodical runoff discharge in the Shire River. Pumped hydro storage–photovoltaic plant (PHS–PV) was optimized to satisfy the all-day peak electrici...
