dc.description.abstractThis study proposes a method to identify the most efficient regions for energy production before installing FPV on any water reservoir. Remote sensing (RS) was used to determine the 20-year area and shoreline changes of the Demirköprü Dam reservoir. The reservoir's annual and monthly total global horizontal irradiance (GHI) values were calculated based on 20 years of observations using a geographic information system (GIS) solar analysis tool. The regional theoretical capacity factor (RTCF) proposed in this study was modelled using total annual GHI values. The water surface was divided into four regions using RTCFs. 94.97%, 4.92%, 0.08% and 0.02% of the total water surface area were classified as RTCF21, RTCF20, RTCF19 and RTCF18, respectively. The annual electrical energy potentials per unit for each RTCF were calculated. The novel method developed in this study for determining the optimum location of FPV SPPs to be installed on water surfaces reveals the importance of evaluating land topography and considering annual shading patterns.
