摘要

The number of Solar Power Plants has been increasing exponentially each year due to factors such as the rising challenges of global warming and energy demand, and the diminishing availability of fossil fuel resources. Solar power plants installed on water surfaces are known as Floating Photovoltaics (FPVs). FPVs offer several advantages over other types of solar power plants. The most important of these advantages is increased photovoltaic efficiency due to the cooling effect of water. This study aims to meet the energy demand of Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University (KSÜ) Avşar Campus by utilizing a FPV system installed on a dam pond located near the campus. In this study, one year of power and energy consumption data from the campus electricity grid was analyzed. A 15 MWp grid-connected FPV system, designed to meet the campus’s energy demand, was developed using PVsyst software. The findings show that the proposed the FPV system generate more than twice the campus’s annual energy consumption. Through this study, it is understood that the FPV systems are more efficient than traditional Grounded Photovoltaic (GPV) systems. The study highlights that the campus power demand and the power supply of the FPV at the selected location coincide with each other. Additionally, the FPV system could prevent 183,308.4 m³ of water evaporation and reduce CO₂ by 16,858 tons annually. In addition, the economic analysis revealed that although the investment cost of FPV is higher than GPV, the payback period of FPV (3.46 years) is shorter than the payback period of GPV (3.75 years).
