摘要: A system for controlling the position and orientation of a floating solar array, having: (a) a floating solar array; (b) a plurality of retractable, bi-directional thrusters mounted to the floating solar array and extending below the floating solar array; (c) a control system on the floating solar array for controlling power level of each of the plurality of thrusters, and (d) a power cable connecting the floating solar array to an onshore grid by way of a power cable connector at a bottom central location on the floating solar array. Submerged baffles, perimeter floats and a method of stowing the floating solar array in high winds by rotating the floating solar array into a direction perpendicular to the direction of the high winds are also included.

摘要: A floating solar photovoltaic array having an energy management power control system configured to send power clipped by an inverter to the at least one powered accessory device which can be an aerator, a diffuser, a sub-surface agitator, a sub-surface water circulator, a sub-surface positioning/mooring system, a water quality sensor; a panel washer, or a bird removal system. The array has inflatable pontoons and an air manifold system which is powered by the solar photovoltaic modules can be used to adjust the angle of inclination of the solar photovoltaic modules to the sun. The powered accessories can also be powered by unclipped power or onshore power or combinations thereof which can be controllably adjusted by the energy management control system over time.

摘要: A cable management system for one or more floating solar PV arrays including a cable tensioning system that adjusts the length of, or maintains the tension in, a power or communication cable that runs from shore to the floating solar array, or between floating solar arrays while permitting the floating solar array(s) to move on the water. The cable tensioning system optionally includes a winch, a counterweight, an elastic member and/or one or more floating towers.

The powered accessories can also be powered by unclipped power or on-shore power or combinations thereof which can be controllably adjusted by the energy management control system over time.
