Crystalline PV panels are considered where they are deployed on pontoon type structures and there are six case study examples precedent practise of such deployments in lakes and reservoirs (but not seas). The authors put forward an alternative based on flexible thin film PV that floats directly on the waterline. The paper then concentrates on the techno-economic appraisal of offshore PV systems in comparison to conventional marine renewable energy technologies. The difficulties of comparing offshore technology projects developed in various countries, using different currencies and in different years are overcome so that such comparisons are made on an equitable basis. The discounted cost of electricity generated by each scheme is determined, including capital expenditure (CAPEX) and yearly operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.\n\nActual wind, tidal (current turbines and barrages) and wave projects were considered in the analysis alongside crystalline and thin film PV. Thin film PV was found to be economically competitive with offshore wind energy projects for latitudes ranging from 45°N to 45°S. The specific yield, assessed in terms of GWh/km2 was higher for thin film PV than for wind, wave and tidal barrage systems. In addition the specific installed capacity, expressed in MW/km2 was also higher than the other conventional technologies considered (excluding tidal current turbines).", "publicationTitle": "Renewable Energy", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "February 2013", "volume": "50", "issue": "", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "879-888", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Renewable Energy", "DOI": "10.1016/j.renene.2012.08.043", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960148112005137", "accessDate": "2015-05-19T19:52:38Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "0960-1481", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "ScienceDirect", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Lacusterine and marine", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Marine renewables", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Offshore PV", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Offshore technologies", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Techno-economic analysis", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2015-05-19T19:52:38Z", "dateModified": "2015-05-19T19:52:38Z" } }, { "key": "2GR6CQ7P", "version": 2, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 352346, "name": "Floating solar economic feasibility", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/floating_solar_economic_feasibility", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/352346/items/2GR6CQ7P", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/floating_solar_economic_feasibility/items/2GR6CQ7P", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1261598, "username": "Bibliobomb", "name": "Alex Hernandez", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bibliobomb", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Trapani and Millar", "parsedDate": "2013-03", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "2GR6CQ7P", "version": 2, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Proposing offshore photovoltaic (PV) technology to the energy mix of the Maltese islands", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Kim", "lastName": "Trapani" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Dean L.", "lastName": "Millar" } ], "abstractNote": "The islands of Malta are located in the Mediterranean basin enjoying 5.3 kW h/m2/day of solar insolation, at a latitude of 35°50N. Electricity generation for the islands is dependent upon imported fossil fuels for combustion. The available solar resource could be exploited to offset the current generation of electricity using solar photovoltaic technology (PV). Due to the limited land availability onshore, the offshore environment surrounding the Maltese islands were considered for the installation of PV floating on the sea surface. The output from such an installation would have to be integrated with the existing conventional electricity generation infrastructure, which currently relies on gas and steam turbine technology.\n\nTo assess the feasibility of floating PV being integrated with the existing fossil plant, monthly trend consumption data for Malta were analysed. The change in gasoil and heavy fuel oil (HFO) consumption resulting from the part load efficiency variation and the displacement of electricity generation from the PVs were estimated. A cost analysis was prepared for the system integration analysis specifically accounting for the reduction in combustion of fossil fuels at the power station and the capital expenditures and operating costs due to the floating PV installation.
