Implementing standards in floating PV |
Norwegian consultancy DNV GL has gathered together big energy players, floating PV specialists and project developers into a consortium that will aim to define recommended practices for the floating solar business. Among the 14 participants are some big players in the field including EDP, EDF and Equinor, as well as French floating technology provider Ciel & Terre.
Norway-based consultancy DNV GL has created a new consortium aimed at defining standards and recommended practices for the floating PV business.
The Floating Solar joint industry project (JIP) consortium comprises big European energy companies such as Portugal's EDP, France's EDF and Norway's Equinor, as well as German project developer BayWa r.e, Engie unit Compagnie Nationale du Rhône, UK-based independent power producer Mainstream Renewable Power and Norwegian solar developer Scatec Solar, among others. It also includes French floating PV specialist Ciel & Terre and Sweden's mooring and anchoring system provider Seaflex.
The project will be related to floating solar projects both inland and on coastal waters and will mainly focus on site conditions assessment, energy yield forecasting, mooring and anchoring systems, floating structures, permitting and environmental impacts. "By not limiting itself to any specific floating solar technology, the consortium aims to define requirements and guidelines that can be applied in a practical manner to all floating solar projects," DNV GL explained.
