In this study, remote sensing (RS) was used to determine the 20-year area and shoreline changes of Demirköprü Dam reservoir. Using a geographical information system (GIS) solar analysis tool, annual monthly total global horizontal irradiance (GHI) values were calculated within reservoir’s shorelines based on 20-years observations. The regional theoretical capacity factor (RTCF) proposed in stud...

Recently, countries from around the globe have been actively developing a new solar power system, namely, floating photovoltaic (FPV) system. FPV is advantageous in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness; however, environmental conditions on surface water are harsher than ground, regulations standards for long-term durability supporting devices insufficient. As result, this study aims to in...

This study presents a quantitative methodology for Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) power plant site selection in Turkey using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and fuzzy sets, which is one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. In this study, we propose new hybrid framework combines rough number (FRN) based decision making model including LAAW (Logarithmic Additive Assessment We...

This article introduces a floating capacitor single stage DC-AC inverter inspired in the flying multilevel cell. A basic structure for MPPT was elaborated applying incremental conductance algorithm acting phase angle of sinusoidal PWM reference. The control strategy simulated MATLAB/Simulink software 6.3 kWp photovoltaic panel and results have validate converter proposition with harmonic curren...
