Simulation of performance differences between offshore and land‐based photovoltaic systems [PDF]
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to model, simulate, and compare the performance of a photovoltaics system on land and at sea. To be able to have a fair comparison the effect of sea waves, wind speed and relative humidity are considered in this model. The sea waves are modeled in the frequency domain, using a wave spectrum.

On the effect of dynamic albedo on performance modelling of offshore floating photovoltaic systems
In this paper, the effect of dynamic albedo on modelling energy generation of a floating offshore photovoltaic system is quantified, for a system assumed to be installed at the North Sea. The dynamic albedo is modeled as a function of solar irradiation, wind speed and solar zenith angle at an hourly time resolution.

An Offshore Solar Irradiance Calculator (OSIC) Applied to Photovoltaic Tracking Systems
Offshore photovoltaic installations are the future technology in solar energy since they enable the use of the large amount of maritime space, which is especially important when land space is not available. Various research groups are working to create viable installations.

Supply-side options to reduce land requirements of fully renewable electricity in Europe.
Renewable electricity can fully decarbonise the European electricity supply, but large land requirements may cause land-use conflicts. Using a dynamic model that captures renewable fluctuations, I explore the relationship between land requirements and ...
