本研究は、英国の貯水池に浮体太陽光発電（FPV）とグリーン水素製造を統合し、電力・暖房・運輸部門の脱炭素化を評価。PVsystとHOMER Proを用いたシミュレーションにより、最大で年間約61GWh（Killington）と20GWh（Drift）の発電、さらに最大約869,149kg/年（Killington）の水素製造が可能であることを示した。水素は発電、熱供給、輸送用燃料として活用でき、貯水池の蒸発抑制効果も示唆された。
English
This study evaluates the integration of floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems with green hydrogen production on UK reservoirs for decarbonizing electricity, heating, and transport. Simulations using PVsyst and HOMER Pro show maximum FPV deployment can generate ~61 GWh/year (Killington) and ~20 GWh/year (Drift), enabling PEM electrolysis to produce up to 869,149 kg/year and 185,277 kg/year of hydrogen, respectively. The hydrogen can be used for power generation, heat, or transport fuel, with additional benefits of reduced reservoir evaporation.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study evaluates the potential of integrating floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems with green hydrogen production on UK reservoirs to support decarbonization across electricity, heating, and transport sectors. PVsyst was used to simulate annual electricity generation for monofacial and bifacial systems at Killington reservoir and Drift reservoir, while HOMER Pro was used to model hydrogen production via electrolysis and its potential applications. Results indicate that maximum FPV deployment could generate approximately 61 GWh/year at Killington and 20 GWh/year at Drift. Surplus electricity during peak production enables PEM electrolysis, producing up to 869,149 kg/year and 185,277 kg/year of hydrogen for the bifacial systems, respectively. This hydrogen could alternatively deliver up to 9.216 GWh/year and 1.977 GWh/year of electricity or 26.071 GWh/year and 5.558 GWh/year of heat, or support approximately 1,225,808 km/year and 454,550 km/year of hydrogen-powered transport. Additional co-location benefits include significant reductions in reservoir evaporation, estimated at 1.96 million m3/year for Killington and 452,037 m3/year for Drift. Overall, the findings demonstrate that hydrogen integrated FPV systems represent a promising system configuration under idealized deployment conditions, with location-specific modeling providing a UK-specific multi-sector assessment of the low-carbon potential of reservoir-based energy systems. The hydrogen use cases presented are alternative applications of the total hydrogen produced and are not intended to occur simultaneously.
