Abstract:To address the problem that the traditional Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) platform is difficult to adapt to the load of complex marine environment, an innovative multi-module flexible connected FPV platform suitable for marine environment is proposed, and the modules are connected by articulated structure, so that the photovoltaic array can move with the waves, thus reducing the bending moment between the structures and improving the survival performance of the photovoltaic platform in the ocean. The dynamic response characteristics of the multi-module FPV platform under varying wave angles are simulated using AQWA software. The results show that: under the general operating sea conditions, to make the kinematic performance of the proposed FPV optimal, the direction of the photovoltaic array arrangement should be at an angle of 30°-60° to the wave direction; the maximal heave displacement of the center photovoltaic reaches 1.89 m, the photovoltaic modules are submerged by seawater, and higher photovoltaic mounts should be used.
