If future PV projects continue to follow current land-use patterns at the country level under a business-as-usual scenario, then installing solar PV systems on 65,488 km 2 of global mining areas could prevent the occupation of 28,311 km 2 of cropland for solar development.
Our findings indicate that, within a global mining area of 65,488 km 2 with slopes less than 3°, MPV systems could generate 12,373 TWh of electricity annually from 8,670 GW of installed panels worldwide (Table S1).
However, the capacity configuration of pumped storage/wind/photovoltaic integrated systems (PSWPISs) is still an important factor that affects the benefits of integration. Much research has been performed on the optimal configuration of energy storage systems containing pumped storage.
For mine owners, MPV systems offer a viable solution for repurposing abandoned mines. Most countries have regulations and legal frameworks to ensure that abandoned mines do not cause environmental issues. However, the high cost of remediation has left many of such sites unreclaimed.
These attributes make them an effective complement to large power grids and a substitute for ‘greenfield’ energy projects. Viewing such deployments as a specialized form of centralized PV generation can contribute to the optimization of energy structures in mines.
The construction of pumped storage power stations at abandoned mines or with mines as upper or lower reservoirs is clearly a new approach for the further development of PS power stations, and it supports the complete utilization of mine resources. The development and application prospects of this approach are very broad.
