Overview • Introduction • Methodology • Case Study • Results • Conclusion • Discussion
1. Introduction • Issue: limited available area Denholm and Margolis, 2008; de Vries et al., 2007; Dijkman and Benders, 2010; Fthenakis and Kim, 2009; Graebig et al., 2010; Love et al., 2003; Nonhebel, 2005; Turner, 1999 Alternative PV applications that do not require “additional” space
1. Introduction • Location PVNB: highway or railway, densely populated area • On those locations, noise barrier needed • Advantages of decentralized electricity generation Karger and Hennings, 2009 • Limited area available to install ground mounted PV, constraints regarding rooftop PV Barkaszi and Dunlop, 2001; Farhar and Buhrmann, 1998; Izquierdo et al., 2008; Ordóñez et al., 2010; Wiginton et al., 2010; Yamawaki et al., 2001
1. Introduction • Introduced in 1989 • 2010: total capacity in Europe 7000kWp • Studies about technical insights Grottke et al., 2003; Nordmann and Clavadetscher, 2004, 2006; van der Borg and Jansen, 2001 Studies about the potential Goetzberger, 1999 Studies about economic aspects ???
2. Methodology • Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) including a Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis • Also ecological aspects
2. Methodology • Distinction PV array - Noise Barrier - PVNB

5. Conclusion PVNB could be a fruitful public – private partnership for the government, residents as well as private investors. Consequently, it would be beneficial to promote the technological development and the installation of PVNBs for example via implementation of flexible governmental legislation regarding investment conditions of PV sound barriers.
5. Conclusion Case study Figure 3 The impact of variations in the NSDI - value on the NPV
6. Discussion • Complete public ownership • Ecological benefit of CO2 reduction • Economies of scope
