Liu et al. [ 43] examined the power generation efficiency of the FSPV plant in terms of the variations in temperature and cooling effects using a finite element model. The results demonstrated that there is a potential of 160 GW, utilizing floating PV systems covering 2500 km 2 water surface in China.
Hartzell [ 31] evaluated FSPV potential on water management infrastructure. They modeled a small pilot installation on Lake Pleasant Reservoir, Arizona. The results showed that hydropower reservoirs could be ideal locations for floating photovoltaic installations within a sustainable development paradigm.
One of the most significant advantages of Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FPV) power plants is that they do not occupy land that could be used for other purposes; thus, they eliminate the need for vegetation removal. Nevertheless, they still occupy large areas that vary from 7500 m2 to 15,000 m2 for 1 MW of installed capacity .
George and Patel [ 25] studied the feasibility of a floating PV system operating at a hydropower station for water supply in southern Brazil. Their study demonstrated that there is an initial cost of 1715.83 USD/kW and an energy cost of 0.059 USD/kWh. Hartzell [ 31] evaluated FSPV potential on water management infrastructure.
The results demonstrated that there is a potential of 160 GW, utilizing floating PV systems covering 2500 km 2 water surface in China. This results in 2 × 10 27 m 3 /year direct water saving from evaporation and 1.25 × 10 12 m 3 /year indirect water-saving if water saved from evaporation is being used by hydropower plant.
The issue of water and energy crisis has been turned into the global matters which need to be tackled jointly. Accordingly, as a reliable solution, floating solar power plants, in which photovoltaic modules are used on the surface of water infrastructures such as reservoir dam, has recently been attracting much interest.
