Fabrication and Construction of Floating Photovoltaic Energy Generation Structures Using Fiber Reinforced Polymer Plastic (FRP) Members

Abstract:

In this paper, we present the result of investigations pertaining to the floating photovoltaic energy generation structures. Pultruded fiber reinforced polymer plastics (PFRP) and sheet molding compound (SMC) fiber reinforced polymer plastics (FRP) have superior mechanical and physical properties compared with those of conventional structural materials. Fiber reinforced polymer plastics (FRP) has an excellent corrosion resistance and high specific strength and stiffness, the FRP material may be highly appreciated for the floating photovoltaic energy generation system. The floating photovoltaic energy generation system is analyzed and designed to have sufficient safety. In addition, from the finite element analysis the safety of the structure was also confirmed. Based on the results, structural system is designed, fabricated, and installed at the site.
