As described above, power station equipment costs are determined with the method described in Section 4.3. Depending on the type of power station (underground or surface) the total cost of power station equipment is estimated using head height and power plant capacity to reflect economies of scale.
A variety of energy storage technologies are being considered for these purposes, but to date, 93% of deployed energy storage capacity in the United States and 94% in the world consists of pumped storage hydropower (PSH) (Uría-Martínez, Johnson, and Shan 2021; Rogner and Troja 2018).
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Storage Grand Challenge is a comprehensive program that seeks to accelerate the development, commercialization, and utilization of next-generation energy storage technologies.
For small PSH systems, the transmission cost is a much more substantive cost component in relative terms. These results illustrate the possible outcomes of this PSH cost model but might not be representative of typical PSH systems.

The necessities of lightning protection on the PV systems and its barrier, the need for different lightning protection system on PV systems as well as its recommended practices are also discussed in this paper.
Therefore, an adequate lightning protection system (LPS) must be installed to protect the PV panels. In addition, the transient performance of PV panels during lightning strikes must be analyzed well. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the superior modeling methods of PV systems during lightning strikes.
Lightning strikes pose a significant threat to photovoltaic (PV) systems, which are increasingly utilized for renewable energy generation. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the potential risks associated with lightning strikes on PV systems and explores various protection measures to enhance their resilience.
The lightning protection system (LPS) is used to protect the PV system from damage and service interruption. The LPS includes an air termination rod, earthing system, or surge protective devices, which provide an alternative path for lightning away from the PV system.
