The potential of the Dubai marine to generate electricity by floating solar structures

The beaches of Dubai have 72 kilometers of coastline, which are very suitable areas for launching floating solar projects in the sea, so that there is a special capacity to supply both the electricity produced in the entire city and the excess electricity produced to neighboring cities and countries to export.
Mehdi Honarvar announced: According to our research, based on 50 and 100 years of wind and wave speed data on the coast of Dubai, we came to the conclusion that by using the unique technology of our floating breakwaters, which are actually the new generation of floating breakwaters in are in the world, there is this ability to initially design a safe marine environment for floating solar projects, Then it is possible to design the maximum capacities in the sea and sea spaces that are unusable as a floating solar project.
According to our preliminary investigations, the accessible space of Dubai is at least 15,000 hectares, and with the solar structure technology of this company, which is under the international patent of Tibet, it is possible to produce the equivalent of 22.5 gigawatt hours of electricity through floating solar energy.
This is despite the fact that this number is far beyond the needs of the city of Dubai at the moment and almost all of its electricity can be exported to other countries and cities. 

Describe Dubai's 2030 and 2050 plans.
Mehdi Honarvar said: As far as I know, according to the 2030 plan, Dubai should provide 30% of its total electricity needs and 100% of its needs by 2050 through renewable energies. Therefore, according to the existing potential of the city of Dubai to supply electricity through the sea and according to the investigations carried out by this company, 100% of the total need can be provided by the solar structure floating in the sea until 2030, which will accelerate the above program, Which actually makes Dubai the first city in the world to supply 100% of its electricity through renewable energy.

What is the effect of the energy game changer contract between the governments of India, Saudi Arabia and the UAE recently on this project?
Considering that this company has 5 international patents in the field of climate change products and renewable energies, It is possible to build floating solar projects in the sea and on the coasts of all three countries and transport them through the sea with floating power towers that will be unveiled for the first time in the world at the wetex exhibition in Dubai on November 15-17.

Can Dubai be an exporter of electricity?
Mehdi Honarvar announced: Yes, for sure, 100%. As mentioned, the capacity of the Dubai Sea is currently 22.5 gigawatts, which is much, much more than the needs of the city of Dubai. In fact, if Dubai wills to, it can become the center of electricity production and export in the region, therefore, surplus electricity can be exported to other countries under the same contract.

Describe the challenges in solar projects on the ground?
Since Dubai is located in a hot and desert region, the temperature sometimes reaches 50 degrees Celsius, which causes the solar panels to heat up and reduces the efficiency of the project.
Also, due to the geographical location of Dubai, the presence of dust storms in certain seasons of the year causes the surface of the solar panels to become scratched, which reduces the efficiency of solar projects on land.
Therefore, according to this issue, the designers are forced to change the direction of the solar panels from the south to the east, which in turn reduces the final efficiency of the project.

What is the difference between land and sea solar projects?
Considering the disadvantages mentioned in the above section, here I will present some information about the advantages of the floating solar structure in the sea. The advantage of these structures is that in the sea environment, due to the floating of the solar project on the sea, you do not need to buy land and prepare the land and flatten it. Therefore, the entire cost of purchase and preparation will be removed from your project and the cost of the entire project should be significantly reduced.
On the other hand, due to the presence of water under the solar panels under the floating solar structure, this factor will keep the panels cool, and this will increase the efficiency of the entire project by 20%.
Also, due to the presence of less dust and the fact that the whole project is floating, less cleaning is required, and this will increase the efficiency of the project.
In addition to these, with the advancement of solar panel technology, the new panels have the harsh geographical conditions of the sea. Also, the structures designed by our company are completely made of special anti-corrosion insulation . Therefore, there will be no concern about corrosion due to marine environment in such projects.

Are the new structures in the sea, capable of installing two-way bifacial solar panels?
Mehdi Honarvar, managing director and inventor of the …company said:
Yes, since this issue increases the efficiency of the project by 25%, therefore our new structures have this capability. Also, all the panels available in the market with any dimensions horizontally or vertically and with any angle can be installed on our structures and this issue in turn increases the efficiency of the project.
Our floating solar structures can be installed in sea and ocean. On the other hand, we have designed these structures in such a way that, in their economic type, they have the direction of dams, reservoirs, bays, lakes and stagnant waters.
On the other hand, this invention has been registered internationally.
