(2024) Effect of platform configurations and environmental conditions on the performance of floating solar photovoltaic structures. In: Proceedings of the 15th International Marine Design Conference (IMDC 2024), 2-6 June 2024, Amsterdam, The Netherlands3050-4864https://doi.org/10.59490/imdc.2024.854https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/22860The growth and development of floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) power plants is a prominent topic within renewable energy technology. One reason contributing to this desired technology design concept is the possibility of land acquisition issues, whereas the usage of the ocean provides a greater technical alternative area. The objective of the research is to present an innovative design for a floating structure, focusing on investigating and comparing the seakeeping performance of several hull configurations: catamaran, trimaran, quadrimaran and pentamaran. The final computational simulation results indicate a linear negative trend in the motion response graphs, particularly in specific significant response values for heave (Global Z), roll (Global RX), and pitch (Global RY), as the hull configuration increases.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/4015 Maritime Engineering40 Engineering7 Affordable and Clean Energy13 Climate ActionConference paper3050-4864541736
