Challenge
Wind, waves, currents and water-level variations introduce loads and displacements that affect the safety, orientation and performance of floating installations.
Energy on water
Mooring and dynamic positioning system for floating photovoltaic plants
Research and engineering focused on stability, position control and performance of photovoltaic systems installed on water.
Objective
Develop and assess mooring and dynamic positioning solutions suited to the operating conditions of floating photovoltaic plants.
Approach
The research integrates premise characterization, modeling, simulation, subsystem design and scaled experimental validation.
Intended outcome
Build a technical basis for specifying solutions that are more stable, controllable and suited to future operational use.
