Analytical Study of Floating Photovoltaic Power Unit Layout

Abstract

The construction scheme of floating photovoltaic power stations is greatly affected by hydrological, meteorological, geological and other factors. There are technical difficulties of design and construction. Each project has its particularity. The technology of floating photovoltaic power stations is still developing both in domestic and abroad. Subject to the impact of the construction environment, the cost of floating photovoltaic power station projects is often higher than that of ground photovoltaic, and the cost proportion of floating materials in the whole project is relatively high. Combined with an actual design case, this paper studied and analyzed the selection of floating body type of floating photovoltaic power station and different layout schemes of photovoltaic power unit from the perspective of project cost. The universal conclusion is contributed to a better design scheme.
