New model to measure wave-induced loss in floating PV

Researchers have developed a three-step technique to estimate power generation loss in floating PV farms resulting from changes in tilt and mismatch losses. The new module was tested in an experimental setup and showed that electricity losses mainly depend both on system design and location. A group of scientists led by Norway's Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) has developed a novel model for wave-induced loss (WIL) of floating photovoltaics (FPV). The model consists of three main steps, namely wave-structure-interaction, irradiance and electrical modeling. "For FPV systems, waves will, ...
