Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of offshore photovoltaic power generation platform technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic panel buffer structure. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, solar photovoltaic power generation has developed rapidly as a green, clean, and renewable energy source. Compared with terrestrial solar photovoltaic power generation, floating solar photovoltaic power generation has advantages such as high power generation efficiency, eco-friendliness, and the ability to develop in synergy with aquaculture. However, floating solar photovoltaic power generation faces the problem of insufficient suitable enclosed water areas for development. To achieve large-scale development of floating solar photovoltaic power generation, developing marine water areas is an essential path.
[0003] Offshore solar photovoltaic power generation platforms, being located in open ocean waters, face more severe environmental loads compared to current floating solar photovoltaic power generation platforms in enclosed waters. Consequently, their design requirements differ significantly from those of floating solar photovoltaic power generation platforms in enclosed waters.
[0004] For example, wave impacts can cause continuous swaying of offshore solar photovoltaic (PV) power platforms. If this swaying is not addressed, it can significantly affect the stability of the connection between the PV panels and the platform, and in severe cases, even damage the panels. Therefore, developing buffer mechanisms for offshore solar PV power platforms is of great significance to the development of the solar PV power industry.
