Therefore, the number of cases of installation on water and sea with high space utilization is gradually increasing. When operating large-scale power systems, conservative design and review are necessary because damage to the structures can cause cascading failures, leading to major accidents. In particular, for photovoltaic systems, the method of expansion by connecting individual unit structures is commonly used. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the unit structures and the connection methods.

The characteristics were analyzed based on the connection method. The analysis results showed that when the connection method was a hinged condition, the pitch motion increased compared to the fixed condition, but since the peak occurred at a high frequency with a 4-s period, it is advantageous to avoid resonance. In particular, it was confirmed that the maximum stress was reduced by approximately three times, which is beneficial for structural integrity. Additionally, it was found that as the stress distribution moved from the center to the edges, it is also advantageous in terms of maintenance.

We aimed to explore ship navigation safety by using the Moskva incident as a case study. Specifically, our objective was to investigate the influence of wind and waves on ship stability, calculate the capsizing probability of the vessel, and devise a fast and safe return path to port. We conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature on ship stability and path-planning algorithms. Leveraging this knowledge, we established the dynamics equation under transverse wind and wave conditions and integrated risk and vulnerability indicators to obtain a quantitative sea-area risk zoning map.
