Numerical analysis of evaporation reduction in floating photovoltaic power plants: influence of design parameters

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of FPV power plants in reducing reservoir evaporation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In this study, two installations are compared: type I floats, characterized by a large surface area in direct contact with the water, with a WCR of 60% (see Fig 5 a), and type II floats, which have a much smaller contact area, with a WCR of only 10% (see Fig 5 b).
• Who: Berlioux Baptiste and colleagues from the INSA-Lyon, CNRS, CETHIL, , Villeurbanne , France have published the research: Numerical analysis . . .
