Sažetak
An inherent characteristic of renewable energy sources (RES) – based electricity generation systems is intermittency and non-controllability. Therefore, the prerequisite for a more significant use of RES within the energy system is the corresponding capacity of Electric Energy Storage (EES). The existing storage of Hydro Electric Power (HEP) is suggested as a possible solution to this issue. The paper contains a detailed analysis of the possible joint operation of Photovoltaic (PV) generator and HEP. The key element of this scenario is the HEP storage that would serve as EES. The analysis of the possible joint operation of the PV generator and HEP shows it as a natural, feasible and very acceptable solution that would enhance the features of both energy sources. Joint operation would increase the energy production sustainability, cut volatility and increase reliability, and therefore the value of the RES energy, as well as the efficiency of the HEP. The application of the hybrid system will significantly contribute to the share of RES in the energy system and thus to achieving the climate protection objectives.
