A Study on Modeling of Tracking-Type Floating Photovoltaic System based on Matlab/Simulink

Abstract

-Floating photovoltaic systems have been developed by the construction process such as design, construction, operation and management. Therefore, the power of floating photovoltaic systems has been calculated by using simple formulas and the optimal tracking interval is set by operation experience. But, flow characteristics have a decisive effect on it unlike land based PV systems. In this paper, a tracking floating photovoltaic system is modeled by using Matlab/simulink. The modeling for the floating photovoltaic system is verified through applying the flow characteristics based on actual operating data of 100㎾ class tracking floating photovoltaic.
