Next generation design of floating systems for coastal solar farms by Bi, Cheng

“…The solar irradiation over the PV panels is calculated considering the dynamic change of their tilt angles along with the platform motion under wave action, and the operational temperature of the PV panels is estimated based on the heat transfer with the ambient water underneath. It is found that the solar power output would remain stable even under high wind and wave conditions since the relative change in solar power output is very small, which is an important consideration for the hybrid solar-wind farms to maximize the areal density for the renewable energy production. …”
