3. Simulations to determine the drag coefficient of a floating photovoltaic system
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : A floating photovoltaic (FPV) system is a structure of solar cells placed on water, where the solar cells are mounted on floating modules that have to be anchored. To know the size of the anchoring equipment, the forces on the FPV need to be determined. The main force affecting the FPV is the wind force. READ MORE

4. Techno-economic evaluation of a floating PV system for a wastewater treatment facility
University essay from KTH/EnergiteknikAbstract : An increasing capacity of floating photovoltaic technology (FPV) has been deployed in the past five years, showing an alternative to countries with small surface areas to take advantage of man-made water bodies to install solar power. Furthermore, regions where land area is primarily geared towards other uses such as agriculture or are located in large urban centers are also a target for these installations, as land costs tend to be a relevant share of the investment on a solar energy project.
