Abstract
In this study, we suggest the new floating PV generation structure which is improved the structural and economical efficiency compared with the system developed in the previous research. Pultruded FRP has superior physical and chemical material properties compared with those of conventional structural materials. Especially, pultruded FRP has an excellent corrosion-resistance, light-weight, and it also has high specific strength and stiffness which are highly appreciated for the design and fabrication of floating PV generation structure under harsh environmental condition. In this study, structural analysis using the finite element method has been performed to investigate the safety of new floating PV generation structure and newly applied structural members.
