Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a construction method for an integral raft-type floating photovoltaic support frame. Background Technology
[0002] With the global energy structure shifting towards cleaner energy, floating photovoltaic (PV) technology has become a research hotspot in the new energy field due to its significant advantages. Compared to onshore PV systems, floating PV offers advantages such as abundant resources, unobstructed water surface, high light reflection, low temperature rise loss, proximity to load centers, and less dust. Currently, floating PV support structures include floating and pile-fixed types. Pile-fixed PV support structures consist of a PV upper support and four or six piles driven into the water. The PV upper support is a truss structure including a PV platform and four or six legs connected to the bottom of the platform. Each leg has a support base at its bottom, and PV panels are installed on the top surface of the platform. The height of the first two or three legs is greater than the height of the last two or three legs. Each of the four or six piles has a connecting seat at its top for corresponding connection with the four or six support bases, allowing the PV platform to tilt 15° with the front higher than the back. Commonly used pile types include steel pipe piles and prestressed concrete pipe piles. The type of pile used is selected based on factors such as geological conditions, construction conditions, and project cost. The installation of the photovoltaic upper support requires high positioning accuracy of the pile foundation, but due to limitations in on-site equipment and construction environment, it is difficult to control the pile position deviation within an acceptable range, thus causing installation difficulties.
[0003] Furthermore, existing methods for hoisting photovoltaic (PV) upper supports require pre-drilling four or six hoisting holes on the PV platform, each corresponding to one of the four or six support points (without PV panels installed). Four or six steel wire ropes are then connected to these support points via four or six lifting lugs on the hoisting frame before hoisting. After the four or six support points are connected to the four or six pile foundations, the PV panels at the four or six hoisting holes need to be installed above water, increasing the time spent on the water and raising operational risks. Alternatively, omitting the installation of the PV panels at the four or six hoisting holes would reduce the number of PV panels required, impacting the installed capacity. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a construction method for an integral raft-type floating photovoltaic support frame, which can facilitate the installation of the upper photovoltaic support frame, not only improve the construction quality, but also greatly reduce the amount of water-based work.

[0049] Step S2: First, prefabricate the piles 2B, and fix a connecting ring plate at the bottom of each pile 2B and a connecting seat at the top of each pile 2B. The piles 2B can have a uniform diameter or a variable diameter, with the top smaller than the bottom.

[0053] Step S6: After the underwater foundation is leveled at the project construction site, the entire photovoltaic support frame is first lifted by a crane boat and lowered to the designated position until it sits on the underwater foundation. Then, the six rope reeling devices 3D are remotely controlled on site to automatically disengage the six elastic shackles 3E from the six foundation lifting rings 2C.
