Performance analysis of a floating photovoltaic covering system in an Indian reservoir

Nagananthini Ravichandran et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance and cost of a model floating photovoltaic (FPV) plant in an Indian reservoir, exploring different tilt angles, mounting systems, and tracking mechanisms for power generation optimization. The analysis identified a landscape flat-mount system with high performance ratio, while recommending fixed-tilt and single-axis tracking FPV systems for the specific reservoir. Additionally, the study presented cost analysis and carbon-footprint estimation to showcase the economic and environmental benefits of the system, highlighting the higher CO2 savings potential with a tracking FPV system compared to a fixed-mount FPV system.
