Consequently, the obtained power production from biogas produced by anaerobic digestion of the entire hydrolyzed sludge (sludge produced by thermal hydrolysis pretreatment at 170°C for 30 min) is (196 096 ± 42 002) kW⸱h/d ( Li et al., 2022b ).
Wastewater treatment plants are identified to be the most suitable site for photovoltaic module installation and utilization. Among power sectors, hydro power plants are highly compatible with photovoltaic adoption because it enhances hydro power plant’s operation time and utilization.
Utilization of anaerobic wastewater treatment methods, such as expanded granular sludge beds (EGSBs) and up-flow anaerobic sludge beds (UASBs), is an additional viable option for energy recovery ( Li et al., 2022a ).
The overall “U” value for water contact floating PV modules is relatively high and is about 70–80 W/m 2 K and is always recommended to include water temperature during estimation of floating PV cell/module temperature [ 89 ].
