In Asia, floating power plants are currently enjoying something of a boom. \u201cThe potential is enormous,\u201d said Karan Singh, Director of Sales &#038; Marketing for India, SEA &#038; South Korea for SMA, the Germany-based specialist in inverter and energy solutions. \u201cOne advantage is that they don\u2019t need any land. Unlike conventional power plants, they can be put into service much more quickly to cover rising energy demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2021, SMA was involved in a <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.greenyellow.com\/en\/news\/launch-greenyellows-first-floating-solar-plant\">Project<\/a> like this in Thailand. On a water basin covering just over four hectares next to the production site belonging to SPM, an animal feed producer, more than 6,000 floating solar collectors generate one fifth of the energy required annually at the site. So now, after many years of nonuse, the pond now serves a purpose once again.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3294oic-b0e2549edb7849c2f92d613bd8ce9a38\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-3294oic-b0e2549edb7849c2f92d613bd8ce9a38{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-3294oic-b0e2549edb7849c2f92d613bd8ce9a38 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lopyn6g4-bf3b506674508c2cab2dae7dae69b019\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lopyn6g4-bf3b506674508c2cab2dae7dae69b019 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lopyn6g4-bf3b506674508c2cab2dae7dae69b019 .av-caption-image-overlay-bg{\nopacity:0.4;\nbackground-color:#000000;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lopyn6g4-bf3b506674508c2cab2dae7dae69b019 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lopyn6g4-bf3b506674508c2cab2dae7dae69b019 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  noHover av-overlay-on-hover av-has-copyright av-copyright-always'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay\"><div class=\"av-caption-image-overlay-bg\"><\/div><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-position\"><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-center\"><p>Floating PV system in the province of Ratchaburi in Thailand<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-14306 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-14306 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMA_Sonnen_Artikel_Floating_PV_900x666.jpg\" alt='' title='Floating PV system in the province of Ratchaburi in Thailand'  height=\"666\" width=\"900\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMA_Sonnen_Artikel_Floating_PV_900x666.jpg 900w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMA_Sonnen_Artikel_Floating_PV_900x666-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMA_Sonnen_Artikel_Floating_PV_900x666-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMA_Sonnen_Artikel_Floating_PV_900x666-705x522.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/div><small class=\"avia-copyright\">GreenYellow<\/small><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2ocu4vo-e0db3bc98bd14fcff0027a21c3bca4ac\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-2ocu4vo-e0db3bc98bd14fcff0027a21c3bca4ac{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2ocu4vo-e0db3bc98bd14fcff0027a21c3bca4ac hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-loolo6af-8adf5ce384cba4b7fe5e3a3fc1d12860'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Karan Singh from SMA highlights yet another benefit of floating PV systems: \u201cThe water on which the modules float has a cooling effect, allowing them to generate electricity with exceptional efficiency. The temperature-regulating effect of the water increases the electrical endurance of the modules because they are exposed to less heat, cold and wind.\u201d Indeed, a range of studies put the increased electricity yield compared with land-based systems at anywhere between 5 and 15\u00a0percent.<\/p>\n<p>Man-made bodies of water are ideal locations for floating PV systems. Due to the way they are constructed, these basins and ponds \u2013 which are often located close to industrial premises \u2013 do not usually attract much in the way of flora and fauna and so can be useful to the environment in other ways.

Either the connection to the utility grid is already in place or the different power plants can share it. The power plants offer mutual benefits because they produce electricity at different times depending on the weather and time of day. At sea, even tougher requirements regarding design and materials apply, but with their extensive water surfaces, artificial inland lakes are the perfect locations for floating PV systems. <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.renene.2022.09.096\">According to one calculation<\/a>, Turkey \u2013 which is home to numerous hydroelectric power stations \u2013 could theoretically achieve 40 percent of the country\u2019s total currently installed capacity with floating PV systems on just 10 percent of its artificial lakes.
