Development of Anticorrosive Materials for Floating Offshore
This study conducted corrosion tests on the various structural materials and coated steels used in photovoltaic (PV) structures exposed to the highly corrosive environment of the
Proposing offshore photovoltaic (PV) technology to the energy mix of the Maltese islands. Energy Conversion Manage. 67, 18–26. doi: 10.1016/j.enconman.2012.10.022 Trapani K., Millar D. L. (2014). The thin film flexible floating PV (T3F-PV) array: The concept and development of the prototype.
According to traditional marine anchoring systems, dead weights, drag anchors, embedded anchors or suction foundations are all taken into account for the offshore floating PV plants (see Figure 9).
Although offshore PV systems are believed to be one of the most promising types, the enormous environmental loads imposed by the harsh marine environment is a huge challenge. For now, efforts are mainly focused on achieving the stability and safety of offshore floating PV plants. 1.
This paper discusses the technological feasibility of commercialization from the perspective of a life cycle of offshore floating PV plants, emphasizing the protection of the marine ecological environment. The main conclusions are as follows. I. The path to commercialization in any industry is based on the upgrading of technology and cost control.
