Submerged and Floating Photovoltaic Systems: Modelling, Design and Case Studies

Submerged and Floating Photovoltaic Systems: Modelling, Design and Case Studies investigates how the use of photovoltaic systems in and on the water can create a positive synergy by increasing the cost effectiveness of PV systems, satisfying the local energy demand and creating positive effects on water. Tina and Rosa-Clot combine their wealth of experience to present a theoretical, numerical, experimental and design-focused analysis of water-integrated PV systems. The first section is dedicated to providing a very accessible and understandable analysis of the theoretical and modeling aspects of these PV systems, supported by numerical simulations and practical examples. The authors explore and analyze many existing projects and case studies which provide the reader with an understanding of common design and installation problems, as well as a thorough economic study to help the reader justify the adoption of this very clean method of creating renewable energy. Investigates the installation of photovoltaic systems and storage systems over and under the water's surfaceOffers theoretical and practical explanations of how to study, analyze and design photovoltaic energy systems which are complemented by MATLAB simulations for an enhanced learning experienceConsiders how the use of submerged and floating photovoltaic systems can work to fulfill domestic energy demand INDICE: Introduction (Overview of history, definitions, concepts, recent advances)Part I: Modeling and control techniques in smart power distribution networks Part III: Optimization models and techniques in smart power distribution networksReferences
