Mooring system design for offshore floating photovoltaics

Researchers in China have compared the performance of catenary and taut mooring systems for offshore floating PV systems. They found that the taut system offers a higher degree of reliability in shallow water environments with severe tidal variations. Scientists at the Ocean University of China developed a new methodology to identify optimized mooring models for offshore floating photovoltaic systems deployed in ultra-shallow waters. Their work focused on outlining the numerical modelling of a four-module floating array and six alternative mooring systems. "In the early stages of our research, ...
