Abstract

Solar PVs are mostly built on uncultivated land. However, the increase in land values due to the increasing world population, the lack of suitable areas for potential PV plants, especially in the land-scarce countries, and the increasing energy need led researchers to seek new solutions. At this point, floating solar power plants emerge as a good alternative with their advantages such as not occupying land area and reducing water evaporation by covering the water surface. In this study, a floating photovoltaic power plant with 120 kWp installation power was installed on Buyukcekmece Lake, and the effect of the microclimate data on the produced energy of the system was investigated. Since the energy produced by PV panels is highly dependent on climate effects and there may be many climatic variations depending on the geographical conditions, experimental measurements have been made annually in this study and the results have been analyzed in order to contribute to the researches in this field. From the obtained results, it is seen that the most important factor that positively affects the energy produced is solar irradiance, while specific humidity, wave loads, and module temperature have a negative effect.

小气候对浮动太阳能电站能效影响的实验研究

摘要

太阳能光伏发电大多建在未开垦的土地上。然而，由于世界人口增加导致土地价值增加，缺乏适合潜在光伏电站的地区，尤其是在土地稀缺的国家，以及日益增长的能源需求促使研究人员寻求新的解决方案。在这一点上，漂浮式太阳能发电站以其不占土地面积、覆盖水面减少水分蒸发等优点而成为一个很好的替代方案。本研究在布于科切克美采湖上安装了一个安装功率为 120 kWp 的浮动光伏电站，并研究了小气候数据对系统产生的能量的影响。由于光伏电池板产生的能量高度依赖于气候效应，并且根据地理条件可能会有许多气候变化，本研究每年进行一次实验测量，并对结果进行分析，以便为该领域的研究做出贡献。从获得的结果可以看出，对产生的能量产生积极影响的最重要因素是太阳辐照度，而比湿度、波浪载荷和模块温度具有负面影响。
