Ice Load Characteristics on Floating Photovoltaic Platform

Nowadays, based upon human needs and preferring perpetual types of energy, photovoltaic system (PV) is a suitable alternative more frequently used in northern countries, which are recently attracted by solar power. The new floating type the structure installed water bodies instead land. One main elements structures forces imposed on panels. In regions, dominant load considered to be ice interaction with structure. This study aims at identifying loads PV located Łapino Reservoir Radunia River, produced wind action cover. velocity varying between 10 26 m/s implemented, also reduction pool level was studied. Wind direction plays an important role inclination expansion accumulation. Moreover, magnitude determinative factor maximum thickness emerged various spot area. Changes not able cause noticeable changes cover thickness. Additionally, shoving mechanism originate abrupt means rising velocity.
