Assesment a Hydrofloating Power Plant Potential of Turkey

Abstract

In Turkey there are nearly 700 hydroelectric power plants and a hybrid solution can be obtained by applying floating solar power plants on the water reservoirs of these power plants. With the law published in the official gazette on March 8, 2020, this potential has been paved.

If we use %1 percent of  water reserve surface of all hydroelectric power plant in Turkey for floating solar power plant, we could achieve an estimated 512,69 GW power capacity and this is approximately 214 times more capacity than Atatürk hydroelectric power plant. In additional, preventing evaporation of water on hyroelectric rezerve by the shading effect of floating solar power plants, for same reservoir area we could prevent evapotation of 30,761,400,000 tons/ per year.
