FLOATING RENEWABLE ENERGY

By Isabelle Gerretsen

 

        Today, most of bear lands around many countries are very expensive, this could be the main barrier to install solar farms on soil. Compare with traditional solar arrays this is not like that, glistering installation has meticulously tracking and harnessing solar as much as it can by moving panels as it sky moves. Above picture is showing a floating solar farm at Netherlands, named Proteus. It means the ancient Greek sea god. This has solar tracking technology for maximize the production. The technical specification of the construction is as mentioned below. Reducing land prices is not only the main advantage, but to reduce the core temperature of the apparatus is a natural outcome. Usually when sun peaks, definitely all equipment will heat up, we need additional energy to keep it cool. But this floating farms will give the natural solution. 


        When we discussing about the commercial highlights, the market for floating solar farms has a boom. In 2015, power generation is 70MWp and after 5 years it was 1,300MWp. Estimated value in 2031 would be $24.5bn, which has 43% growth for a year throughout the decade. We can have clean green electricity for a cheap price in next few decades.  


PROTEVS +

Unique solution with 2 axis tracking that aims to have the maximum of output capacity in comparison the installed power.
 
  • Floating island composed of 180 PV modules, with Two axis tracking
  • 73 kWp of installed capacity ( with 370 wp modules)
  • Vertical movement is executed individually for each photovoltaic module (allowing an elevation from 0 º to 45 º angle)
  • Provides an increase in energy production up to 40%
  • Estimate of energy consumption less than 0,5%

Island with 38 meter of diameter (occupied area of 1 444 sm)

Water cooled air ensures lower panel temperatures increasing
production up to 15%

The Benefits of Eating Slowly: 5 Reasons Why You Should Try It

  1. Eating slowly helps you enjoy your food This reason is just as powerful, in my opinion. It’s hard to enjoy your food if it goes by too quickly. In fact, I think it’s fine to eat sinful foods, if you eat a small amount slowly. Think about it: you want to eat sinful foods (desserts, fried foods, pizza, etc.) because they taste good. But if you eat them fast, what’s the point? If you eat them slowly, you can get the same amount of great taste, but with less going into your stomach. That’s math that works for me. And that argument aside, I think you are just happier by tasting great food and enjoying it fully, by eating slowly. Make your meals a gastronomic pleasure, not a thing you do rushed, between stressful events. 2. Eating slowly promotes weight loss When you take longer to eat, you might find that you learn to stop eating sooner. You might notice that you are full and don’t need that extra bite. In fact, slower eating is associated with a lower body mass index (BMI).  ...

7 Habits of Highly Successful Lead Programmers

  1. Lead by knowledge Christopher Pike nailed it when he said. “A true teacher would never tell you what to do. But he would give you the knowledge with which you could decide what would be best for you to do.” They are the undisputed knowledge gurus. They conquer people’s hearts by sheer technical expertise and a great attitude to teach and mentor. They share their knowledge with anybody and everybody and are highly respected and regarded in multiple circles. They inadvertently directly or indirectly find themselves associated with multiple strategic assignments and learn to finely balance across them to everybody’s advantage and expectations. 2. Lead by innovation Steve Jobs always held innovation in the highest esteem when he said. “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” They are the ideates and “out-of-the-box” thinkers. People approach them when they require advice in seeking a new direction and a different perspective. They come up with ideas and innovati...
