The most powerful energy resource in nature is solar energy which becomes directly converted to electric power in worldwide. Most of the photovoltaic power plants are commonly installed on sunny side of the ground. Thus the installation of photovoltaic power plant could produce an unexpected adverse effect by sacrificing the productivity from green field or forest. To avoid these adverse effect floating photovoltaic plant has been devised and installed on inland reservoir. The photovoltaic plant could utilize ignored water surface without sacrificing the productivity of the ground. Additionally the photovoltaic efficiency has been reenforced by the cooling effect induced by the circulating air flow from water surface. The floating photovoltaic plant could be furnished solar tracking ability by tilting the system operated with the aid of the ballast system. This report is provided to introduce the design of the floating structure with solar panel which furnished solar tracking ability with the aid of ballast system.

Since floating facility with mooring system can be moved and rotated by wind or other environmental variables, the error in azimuthal angle must be compensated using a GPS receiver and geo-magnetic sensor. Accordingly, when an existing photovoltaic tracking algorithm is applied to a floating photovoltaic system, it is difficult to do the optimal solar tracking. In this paper, an effective azimuthal angle algorithm is develop for the photovoltaic tracking in floating condition. In order to verify the developed algorithm, the prototype of the floating photovoltaic system is manufactured and the developed algorithm is applied to the system. The algorithm shows a good tracking feasibility on the prototype.

Renewable energy sources play a key role in achieving carbon neutrality and zero net emissions in the power generation sector. Various efforts have been made to support the deployment of renewable energy, particularly solar photovoltaic and wind power, including policies to internalize the external cost of carbon emissions. In this study, we conducted a financial analysis of a 800 MW floating photovoltaic system and compared it with ground solar power generation. Additionally, we conducted a cost-benefit analysis that included the social cost of carbon. The findings showed that the floating photovoltaic project can meet the profitability target through an appropriately designed internalization of the social cost of carbon.

Interest in renewable energy is rapidly growing around the world. One of the most popular renewable energy sources is solar power, and photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most representative route for generating solar energy. However, with the growing adoption of solar power systems, the demand for land on which to install these systems has increased, which has caused environmental degradation. Recently, floating PV systems have been designed to utilize idle water surface areas of dams, rivers, and oceans. Because floating PV systems will be exposed to harsh environmental stresses, the safety of such systems should be secured before installation. In this study, the structural robustness of a floating PV system was analyzed by conducting numerical simulation to investigate whether the system can withstand harsh environmental stresses, such as wind and wave loads. Additionally, conventional wind and wave load predictions based on the design method and the simulation results were compared. The comparison revealed that the design method overestimated wind and wave loads. The total drag of the PV system was significantly overestimated by the conventional design criteria, which would increase the cost of the mooring system. The simulation offers additional advantages in terms of identifying the robustness of the floating PV system because it considers real-world environmental factors.

지구 환경문제와 자원 고갈에 따른 에너지 위기로 인해 화석 연료를 사용하지 않아 이산화탄소와 같은 온실가스 배출이 없는 청정 에너지원으로서 신재생 에너지는 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 부유식 태양광발전은 기존의 태양광 발전기술과 플로팅 기술을 융합한 신개념의 발전 방식이다. 종래의 육상이나, 건축물이 아닌 유휴수면에 설치하는 재생에너지원으로 구조체, 계류장치, 태양광 발전설비, 수중케이블 등으로 구성된다. 또한 단위모듈 형태로 설계되어 발전용량에 따라 단위모듈을 서로 연결하여 대규모 발전 시설을 조성할 수 있다. 태양광 발전기는 옥외에 설치되기 때문에 구조물에 대한 풍하중의 영향이 매우 크다. 본 연구에서는 부유식 태양광 발전 구조물에 큰 영향을 주는 풍하중을 전산유체역학을 통해 해석하였다. 유동 특성과 풍하중에 대한 풍향과 경사각의 영향을 분석하였다. 모듈의 개수와 바람의 방향에 따라 최대 하중을 받는 위치와 크기 그리고 태양광 패널과 부유체 주위의 유동 특성을 구하였다. 태양광 패널의 지면에 대한 경사각이 클수록 풍하중은 증가하였다.

태양 에너지를 전기 에너지로 변환시키는 장치가 설치된 해상 부유체는 파도에 의해서 운동한다. 해상 부유체의 안전성을 평가하기 위해서는 부유체 운동의 측정과 해석이 필요한데, 일반적으로 6자유도 운동을 이용한다. 6자유도 운동은 저전력, 소형, 저가의 특징을 갖고 있는 MEMS(Micro-Electro Mechanical System)를 이용하여 측정할 수 있다. 문제는 MEMS의 낮은 정밀도이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 MEMS를 이용한 해상 태양광 부유체의 거동을 측정하고, 측정한 거동을 이용한 안전성 평가 기법에 관하여 검토하였다. 연구결과 3축의 가속도계와 3축의 자이로스코프를 이용한 관성 측정 플랫폼을 통해서 해상 부유체의 모델링과 안전성 평가가 가능함을 알았다.

In this paper, the effects of environmental variables on the output of the floating photovoltaic water systems, which were installed at the Hapcheon dam in South Korea, were investigated, and the correlations between them were analyzed. The system output was linearly proportional to the solar radiation or irradiance. The output was large in spring and autumn because of high irradiance, but low in the summer when the solar module temperature was high. The influence of the module temperature on the system output was limited in the summer, during which the module temperature change affected the system output more than the change of the irradiance did. In addition, in winter and summer, the module temperature tended to decrease with increasing windspeed, but windspeed did not affect module temperature significantly in the spring and autumn. On the other hand, in winter and spring, the irradiance decreased as the windspeed increased because of movement (or circulation) of the photovoltaic modules.

A series of coupled time domain simulations considering stochastic waves and wind based on five 1-h time-domain analyses are performed in normal operating conditions. Power performance and tower base Fore-Aft bending moment and pitching motion response of the floating spar-buoy wind turbine with 2 MW direct-drive PMSG have been analyzed by using HAWC2 that account for aero-hydro-servo-elastic time domain simulations. When the floating spar-buoy wind turbine is tilted in the wind direction, maximum of platform pitching motion is close to $4^{\circ}$. Statistical characteristics of tower base Fore-Aft bending moment of floating spar-buoy wind turbine are compared to that of land-based wind turbine. Maximum of tower base Fore-Aft bending moment of floating spar-buoy wind turbine and land-based wind is 94,448 kNm, 40,560 kNm respectively. This results is due to changes in blade pitch angle resulting from relative motion between wave and movement of the floating spar-buoy wind turbine.
