The floating type of photovoltaic (pv) power is expected to thaddaeus watt

The national university of Singapore ( NUS） Affiliated institutions solar energy research institute of Singapore ( SERIS） Released called 'the sun and water meet' report, this is the institute and the world bank group and its energy sector management assistance program ( ESMAP） New floating type photovoltaic report together. Report points out that the world has been built floating type photovoltaic total installed capacity of it is more than 1. 3采用( Note: data of different institutions statistical caliber, slight discrepancy) , forecast the world floating type photovoltaic power generation is expected to achieve tw magnitude scale.

as a result, in some areas, solar power generation cost competitiveness has been slow and continuous growth. California, for example, will rich sunshine and retail price. Thanks in part to the state

SERIS will float type solar energy called the new, rapidly expanding global pv market niche, think it could be after the ground and rooftop solar industry & other; The third pillar & throughout; 。 According to the report, so far, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China in the field of floating type photovoltaic system deployment dominated, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, the Netherlands, France and the United States also is building a large number of projects.

　　“ Our purpose is to share and promote this new market segment of the relevant information and technical knowledge, to ensure that global floating type solar energy system can be installed according to the latest best practices. ” SERIS solar systems, deputy chief executive and cluster director Thomas, said Dr Reindl & other; By consulting practice and holding international floating type solar workshop ( 仿射 , we also try to build and continuously expand the global & lsquo; Floating type solar community & rsquo; 。 Between all the stakeholders to establish the technology of trust is also very important, especially the trust of investors and lenders. They must be able to fully understand the advantages and opportunities, as well as the challenges and potential risks. ”

SERIS senior financial analyst at Celine Paton prompt, not to float type photovoltaic solar direct comparison with the ground.

　　“ In terms of floating type solar energy, the majority of its costs will depend on the type of reservoir, into the channel, depth and water level change, and the source of the floating structure. ” Paton explains, & other; When deciding implement floating type solar energy projects, must consider many technical factor and environmental and social background. In some cases, the floating type solar projects compared with ground pv may have high cost competitiveness. ”

SERIS solar system technical team leader Abhishek Kumar, Dr Also stressed the importance of floating type photovoltaic coexist with the existing hydropower station. , he says, provides deployment dam and reservoir space, can be used as energy storage facilities, reduce the irradiation conditions every hour, every day, and each season power fluctuations.

　　“ Understand the extent of cooling effect and higher energy output is also very important, it depends on the climate and the environment, also depends on the design of floating structure. ” Kumar, & other; In addition, in the design of floating type solar energy system, operation and maintenance strategies must be considered. As a result, the floating type solar projects across different climate area for data collection and performance monitoring will be understand floating solar key competitive advantage. ”
