Abstract
The deployment of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems has gained global attention due to technological advancements and cost reductions. Floating PV (FPV) is becoming a preferred alternative, offering efficiency and environmental benefits. It can be installed on dams lakes and reservoirs, generating clean energy without competing for land use. Despite the promising prospects of floating PV, there has been a lack of analysis on its implementation in Sudan. To fill this gap, the present study delves into the feasibility and potentiality of FPV at Merowe Dam and Khashm El Girba Dam in Sudan, providing crucial insights for the first time. The developed systems were evaluated using PVsyst. The results show that investing in FPV systems on dam reservoirs significantly improves power system reliability while generating additional clean energy, meeting the rising demand, and reducing carbon emissions. This highlights the potential of FPV systems as a promising solution for sustainable energy growth, mitigating environmental concerns, and ensuring a greener future.
