Abstract

Floating photovoltaic (FPV) is a novel sustainable power generation component that combines renewable energy and marine technologies to generate electric power eco-friendly. This paper proposes the optimal configuration and the economic-environmental analysis of future FPV installation in Singapore, one of the representative countries with ample solar power resources and water bodies worldwide. First, the technical feasibility of FPV installation in Singapore is analyzed. Next, a suitable location in Singapore to install FPVs, i.e., Pandan Reservoir, is determined. Then, a sensitivity analysis is conducted under four FPV configurations (i.e., monofacial FPV, monofacial FPV with heatsink, bifacial FPV, and bifacial FPV with heatsink). Results showcase how FPV efficiency can be improved and suggest the optimal FPV configuration at the desired location. Finally, the economic and environmental aspects of FPV installation in Singapore are elaborated. This study could help policy-makers set developmental goals for future large-scale FPV integration and guide industry practitioners to adopt FPVs.

浮动式光伏的优化配置与经济环境分析——以新加坡为例

浮动光伏(FPV)是一种新型的可持续发电组件，它结合了可再生能源和海洋技术，以产生环保的电力。新加坡是世界上太阳能资源丰富、水体丰富的代表性国家之一，本文提出了未来光伏装机的优化配置和经济环境分析。首先，分析了在新加坡安装FPV的技术可行性。接下来，在新加坡确定一个适合安装fpv的地点，即Pandan Reservoir。然后，对四种FPV配置(即单面FPV、单面FPV带散热器、双面FPV和双面FPV带散热器)进行敏感性分析。结果显示了如何提高FPV效率，并提出了在理想位置的最佳FPV配置。最后，阐述了在新加坡安装太阳能光伏的经济和环境方面。本研究可为政策制定者制定未来FPV大规模整合的发展目标，并引导行业从业者采用FPV。
