Investigating the Effect of Shading on the Capacity Factor of Floating Photovoltaic Systems using GIS and RS Techniques

In this study, it was used to determine the 20-year area and shoreline changes of Demirköprü Dam reservoir. Using the GIS solar analysis tool, annual and monthly total global horizontal irradiance (GHI) values were calculated within the area of the reservoir’s shorelines based on 20-year observations. The regional theoretical capacity factor (RTCF) proposed in this study was modelled using total annual GHI values.
