dc.description.abstractFloating photovoltaic (FPV) systems offer a viable renewable energy solution due to easy installation and cost-effectiveness compared to other renewable energy generation methods. On the other hand, land-based solar photovoltaics face challenges such as space scarcity and environmental impacts. Shifting to nearshore locations unlocks vast ocean space potential, though waves expose significant challenges to FPV systems. Several novel FPV system designs are proposed, inspired by high-speed vessel multihulls, including catamaran, trimaran, quadrimaran, and pentamaran configurations, as floating supports for solar panels. Simulations were conducted to determine Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) under various irregular wave spectrum conditions in a free-floating initial state. The FPV motion problem was solved using linear potential-flow theory with the Boundary Element Method (BEM) with Green-Function approach. Superposition of wave spectral energy and motion RAOs was used to obtain spectral structural responses. Motion in heave, roll, and pitch modes was evaluated across wave spectrum types. Results show that adding hulls reduces the significant amplitude response in all motion modes. In summary, valuable insights into floater designs and the hydrodynamic evaluation of FPV systems are presented.
