“…It is declared that the energy generation potential of these FPV systems depicted in Figure 12 is more than 120,000 kWh per year [39]. The possible FPV installations at Jablanica lake located in Bosnia aim to supply clean energy generation with an annual approximate potential of 36.55 GWh for the installed capacity of 30 MW [38]. FPV power plants located at Shek Pik and Plover Cove reservoirs in Hong Kong have 100 kW power capacity.…”

Limited reserves of fossil fuels, rising environmental concerns, and a remarkable increase in electricity demand have led to the necessity of harnessing solar energy on a large scale. For this purpose, there has been a noticeable stimulation into photovoltaic power plants (PVPPs) over the last three decades, but the land requirement for PVPPs is still a handicap in many countries since valuable lands are considered for other purposes such as agriculture and livestock. For effective conservation of valuable lands and water resources, PVPPs are preferred to be installed on various water bodies such as oceans, seas, lagoons, lakes, rivers, dams, canals, wastewater treatment plants, irrigation ponds, fish farms, wineries, reservoirs, etc. PV systems on water bodies are called floating PVPPs, and they have outstanding advantages compared with land-based PVPPs including better energy generation owing to passive cooling effects, higher system efficiency and reliability, and lower dirt and dust accumulation on PV modules thus lower operating costs. There are also some significant environmental features provided by floating PVs. Shading effects due to PV coverage reduce water losses arising from evaporation. Moreover, algae growth is limited because of mitigated solar radiation, which yields better water quality. This review presents more insight on floating PVPPs in terms of several aspects such as electricity generation, system efficiency, reliability and sustainability, experimental applications and facilities in operation, water and carbon saving as well as challenges.

“…For study purposes, the authors simulate a fixed type model of the FPV system with a capacity of 1 MW similar to that installed and operating at Cirata Dam, West Java province, Indonesia. The design of 1 MW FPV adopts the mathematical equation from Pašalić, Akšamović et al 2018 [36] which is planned at Jablanica Lake, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Song and Choi, 2016 [37] at Ssangyong Open pit limestone, Korea. Several popular software packages such as RETScreen (Government of Canada), PVGIS (European Union/EU science hub, European Comission), PVWatts (The national renewable energy laboratoty/NREL, Washington, D.C., USA), System Advisor Model/SAM (NREL, Washington, D.C., USA), Homer can deliver a tool to calculate energy production of the NRE project [38] while Psomopoulos, Ioannidis et al 2015 [39] and Blair, Dobos et al 2014 [40] compared and briefly reviewed the NRE software systems.…”

Solar photovoltaic technology is one of the most well established new and renewable energy technologies. Many researchers have undertaken wide research and development in this sector, including material and system design. To protect the exhaustion of global terrestrial land and to avoid the occupation of extensive farmlands, solar photovoltaic (PV) developers, as well as policymakers, have pursued various solutions, including the development of floating solar PV (FPV). This study consists of a technological and economic perspective to analyze the floating solar PV system. The authors utilize remote sensing results to predict FPV efficiency and measure energy yield from the system while also developing an economics analysis on an FPV project by comparison with ground-based solar PV (GPV). The results from the remote sensing method found that the lake has a cooler temperature than the ground, with an annual difference of around 8 °C. FPV efficiency was also shown to be around 0.61% higher than GPV in terms of the prediction. FPV economic parameter comparison also resulted in 3.37 cents/kWh lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), and 6.08% higher internal rate of return (IRR) compared to GPV in the base scenario.

“…The last decade has been marked by the construction of large PV plants with installed capacity from several tens to several hundreds of MW [13,14]. Such plants are built on water surfaces [15], unproductive agricultural lands [16], deserts [17]. A key feature of large PV plants is an occupation of a large area with installed solar panels [15].…”

This paper analyzes the problem of DC cable selection in photovoltaic (PV) plants. PV plants can have tens of kilometres of one-way cables that are important parts of the system. The currents flowing through these cables can reach values of several hundred amps. Losses incurred on DC cables are up to 1%, which can be significant when measuring power loss during the operating period. Reduction of these losses can be achieved by increasing the cross-section of the cable. The paper describes the requirements set by the standards for selecting cable cross-sections. An analytical criterion function that connects electricity losses and cable crosssection were deduced. This function depends on several parameters such as electricity price, cable price, the average number of sunny hours per year, average amount of electricity through cable, interest rate, loan repayment period, and plant operation period. Several cases with the analysis of the obtained results are presented.
