Research on hydrodynamic characteristics of an offshore flexible floating photovoltaic in waves

Abstract

Since the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals target, offshore photovoltaic has attracted much attention at home and abroad. Offshore photovoltaic has the characteristics of saving land resources, protecting water bodies, and efficient power generation. Taking photovoltaic floating body as the research object, a numerical model is established to analyze the force of different permutation combinations under wave action, which provides a theoretical basis for subsequent research on mooring system. The research shows that the floating block at the front end has a large force, that is, it is greatly affected by the breaking of waves. The force of the photovoltaic floating block is uniform before and after, which is not affected by wave breaking and attenuation.
