| Summary: | This research aims to design and optimize the performance of a Floating
Photovoltaic Power Plant (FPVPP) system for sustainable electricity supply in
Batam City. The photovoltaic system is designed to utilize the potential of Tembesi
reservoir as the installation site, offering higher efficiency and efficient land use
compared to ground-mounted PV systems. The study uses PVsyst software to
simulate and analyze the photovoltaic system's performance with two types of PV
modules, monofacial and bifacial. Simulation results show that the bifacial PV
system generates 7.17% more energy compared to the monofacial module, with a
performance ratio of 0.922 for bifacial and 0.860 for monofacial. Additionally, the
bifacial PV system has a lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of 0.066
USD/kWh compared to 0.070 USD/kWh for the monofacial PV system. This
research also highlights a reduction in annual evaporation loss of 886,293 cubic
meters per year, which adds to the overall benefits of this FPV technology. |
