Power-generating breakwaters for floating photovoltaics

Scientists from Singapore have designed new floating breakwaters that integrate wave energy converters that can be used to reduce the impact of waves on offshore PV systems. Their analysis showed that the wave energy systems can achieve the highest additional power output when the wavelength is shorter. Researchers from the Singapore Institute of Technology have investigated the performance of new floating breakwaters (FBs) integrating wave energy converters (WECs). The breakwaters are intended for use in offshore floating PV (OFPV) farms. "As the OFPVs move to the open sea, they are exposed to ...
