- Book Synopsis
- Floating Photovoltaics: Design, Performance, Degradation, Financial Sustainability, and Environmental Impacts offers broad coverage of floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems, enabling the reader to understand design, deployment, and performance, as well as economic feasibility and environmental factors. This book introduces a range of prefeasibility analysis methods such as location selection, bathymetric studies, design of anchors and moors, effect of waves, and tilt angle. Design criteria of FPV systems are then discussed in detail, from module selection and inverter selection to conditions and operating temperature. The types of degradation and the effect of degradation on long-term performance of FPV systems are analyzed, with a parameter-level study helping to determine the exact long-term degradation of FPV systems, as well as the effect of maintenance on the performance of FPV systems. The final chapters in the book focus on financial sustainability, environmental impacts, and policy recommendations, supporting further development, deployment, and decision-making with regard to FPV technology and projects. Researchers, advanced students, faculty, engineers, R&D, scientists, and policymakers with an interest in FPV systems will find this book to be an interesting resource.
