120kW Austrian photovoltaic container for wastewater treatment plant

4 FAQs about 120kW Austrian photovoltaic container for wastewater treatment plant

How much energy does Vienna's new wastewater treatment plant produce?

The facility now produces around 78 GWh of electricity and 82 GWh of heat, meaning the plant will be able to generate all the energy it requires for wastewater treatment, with energy to spare while reducing Vienna's annual carbon emissions by 40'000 tonnes.

Can photovoltaic and biogas be integrated in a WWTP?

Integrating renewable energy sources, biogas, and solar energy could provide up to 88% of the annual energy requirements of WWTPs. Recommendations are provided for further research considering the limited availability of integrated resources for studying the simultaneous utilization of photovoltaic and biogas systems. 1. Introduction

What is the current state of solar PV systems in WWTPs?

Strazzabosco et al. (2019) assessed the current state of solar PV systems in WWTPs and found that solar PV is primarily used in hybrid configurations with anaerobic digestion at WWTPs with flow rates greater than 1.89 × 10 4 m 3 /d. In these treatment plants, biogas meets 25%–65% of the total energy demand, and solar energy supplies 8%–30%.

Can solar PV be used at a WWTP?

At WWTPs with flow rates less than 1.89 × 10 4 m 3 /d, solar PV provides 30%–100% of the required energy and is typically used as the sole RES. On the other hand, most studies examining the applications of PV cells at WWTPs have focused on the conventional fixed-beam-supported technology.
