This technical paper presents an analysis process to accurately examine the environmental loads and structural stability of a Floating photovoltaic (PV) power plant. The method includes a hydrodynamic analysis of the Floating PV in its water-based environment as well as a structural analysis of its structural stability based on the characteristics of motion it undergoes.
The method proposed used ANSYS AQWA which allows environmental conditions to be included in the analysis such as the fender, the joint, the cable winch, irregular waves, birds, etc.
