Identification of Hydrological Risks. Application to Photovoltaic Plants

In Spain, flood events generate more than 800 million euros in losses annually. This highlights the need for proper hydrological planning, especially in civil engineering projects, to maximize their operational lifespan.

IDENTIFICATION OF HYDROLOGICAL RISKS IN PHOTOVOLTAIC PROJECTS

The Hydrology and Hydraulics Department at Orbis Terrarum has extensive experience in developing hydrological studies and flood risk assessments in numerous countries, relying on the latest technologies to ensure correct hydrological risk evaluation and proper advisory services for project development.

Based on this experience, Orbis has acquired a profound understanding of hydrological planning phases and the return periods required for proper risk characterization, and we have defined guidelines to implement this planning in photovoltaic generation projects.
