[0002] In recent years, with the increasing global demand for clean energy, the offshore photovoltaic system, as a new solar power generation method, has developed rapidly due to its vast sea area resources and less land restrictions. However, the construction and operation of offshore photovoltaic systems face many challenges, especially the installation link of offshore photovoltaic platforms. Due to the complexity and uncertainty of the offshore environment, such as the influence of waves, tides and winds, the offshore transportation and installation of large photovoltaic platforms have become the key points and difficulties in the construction process. Traditional installation methods, such as hoisting and fixed installation, are strictly restricted by water level changes and construction window periods, not only with low construction efficiency, but also with great potential safety hazards.
