Lohmi Fish Farming Project is an innovative example of the Future of Aquaculture and Floating Solar Integration that comprises nine expansive fish ponds across an area of 600 donums. This project not only enhances sustainable aquaculture practices but also integrates renewable energy solutions, as the photovoltaic (PV) modules cover 50% of the total area. By harnessing solar power, the Lohmi project aims to reduce its carbon footprint while providing a reliable energy source .This forward-thinking approach exemplifies our commitment to promoting sustainable practices in agriculture and energy.
Lohmi’s power plant is a highly developed energy infrastructure consisting of 50000 PV modules connected to 312 ground-mounted inverters, strategically connected to seven high-voltage stations. These stations facilitate efficient energy transmission, linking the entire system through robust high-voltage cables to a central power station. This design not only optimizes energy flow but also enhances the reliability and efficiency of power distribution, ensuring that the generated energy is effectively harnessed and utilized. By integrating advanced technology with a comprehensive network, the project stands as a testament to our commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
One of the major challenges faced in the project is the constrained space between the seven high-voltage stations and the 9 fish ponds. This limited area complicates the digging and laying of high-voltage cables, as maneuvering equipment and ensuring minimal disruption to the aquatic environment become increasingly difficult. The close proximity of the ponds not only poses logistical challenges but also requires careful planning and execution to safeguard the integrity of both the energy infrastructure and the delicate ecosystems involved. Addressing these obstacles necessitates innovative engineering solutions and a commitment to preserving the sustainability of the fish farming operations while successfully implementing the energy project
