FISHERY–PV SOLUTION

Fishery-PV Solutions

Balance power generation and aquaculture — match mounting systems from water conditions, foundations and O&M space. Default identity is pile-mounted elevated fishery-PV.

PROJECT BOUNDARY

One water body, two engineering systems

Fishery-PV is not a single mounting form. Identify foundation system, load boundaries and O&M mode first. Floating is comparison-only.

PILE-MOUNTED

Pile-mounted elevated fishery-PV Default

Arrays sit above the aquaculture water surface

Pile-mounted elevated fishery-PV scene
  • Pile foundation
  • High clearance
  • Boat passage
  • Feeding
  • Aeration
  • Harvest
  • Shore-side construction
  • Maintenance
FLOATING PV

Floating PV Comparison

Arrays sit directly on floaters

Floating PV scene
  • Floater system
  • Mooring
  • Wave effects
  • Level change
  • Electrical links
  • Over-water service
  • O&M access
  • Safety

iThe two systems differ significantly in foundation form, load behavior, construction and O&M — decisions must follow water conditions, aquaculture needs and investment boundaries.

PROJECT INPUT MATRIX

Project engineering inputs

Inputs are engineering variables that decide foundation, clearance, layout, durability and O&M paths — not a document checklist.

01

Water conditions

Depth · normal level · max/min levels · variation

02

Pond bottom & geology

Silt thickness · bearing depth · geotech · pile constructability

03

Meteorological loads

Wind pressure · snow · seismic · temperature

04

Aquaculture process

Species · boat size · feeding · harvest methods

05

Array conditions

Module specs · tilt · spacing/span · clearance

06

Construction & O&M

Shore roads · over-water work · maintenance routes · electrical layout

SYSTEM SECTION DIAGRAM

Fishery-PV spatial section

Generation, structure, water levels and aquaculture operations must be coordinated in one engineering section.

Spatial relationships are not fixed-size templates. Clearance, spacing, pile depth and work channels must follow project conditions and structural results.

FIVE ENGINEERING CHALLENGES

Water environments change more than foundation form alone

PILE FOUNDATION

Soft pond bottom & pile bearing

Silt, bearing stratum and construction method jointly set foundation system and difficulty.

WIND LOAD

Elevated array wind loads

Higher clearance raises wind load, global stability and member stiffness checks.

CORROSION

Long-term humid durability

Materials, coatings and connections need durability design by environment class.

WATER LEVEL

Water-level variation & clearance

High/normal levels and seasonal change directly affect clearance and O&M safety.

AQUACULTURE OPS

Aquaculture operation compatibility

Boats, feeding, aeration, harvest, drainage and maintenance routes must remain usable.

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS

Engineering analysis & structural verification

From inputs to deliverables — a verifiable analysis chain, not fixed empirical values replacing project calculations.

Applicable references by scheme boundary: Elevated mounting: project-applicable codes such as NB/T 10115-2018, GB 50009 and GB 50017; floating systems additionally reference floating-specific codes such as NB/T 11814-2025. Confirm code editions in project technical documents.

AQUACULTURE COMPATIBILITY DESIGN

Power generation must not block aquaculture operations

Put array zones, boat channels, work areas and equipment on one plan to reveal operational conflicts.

SYSTEM SOLUTION COMPARISON

Mounting system selection comparison

No automatic “depth X requires scheme Y” — only engineering judgment directions. Final schemes follow geotech, levels, loads and aquaculture operations.

Note: for early screening only — not project design values or commitments. Final schemes follow project inputs, structural calculation and special design results.
