Data-analysis-based control optimization of floating solar array system energy harvesting

A computer system for facilitating energy harvesting, the computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
• obtaining a data-analysis-based control to control energy harvesting from a floating solar array system on water, the floating solar array system including a floating solar array to harvest solar energy and a kinetic energy harvester to harvest kinetic energy, the data-analysis-based control being configured to:
• determine an environmental condition to effect the floating solar array system;
• and
• dynamically adjust a configuration of the floating solar array system to optimize net energy harvesting of the floating solar array system from the floating solar array and the kinetic energy harvester based on the determined environmental condition to effect the floating solar array system.

A computer program product for facilitating energy harvesting, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media readable by at least one processer to:
• obtain a data-analysis-based control to control energy harvesting from a floating solar array system on water, the floating solar array system including a floating solar array to harvest solar energy and a kinetic energy harvester to harvest kinetic energy, the data-analysis-based control being configured to:
• determine an environmental condition to effect the floating solar array system;
• and
• dynamically adjust a configuration of the floating solar array system to optimize net energy harvesting of the floating solar array system from the floating solar array and the kinetic energy harvester based on the determined environmental condition to effect the floating solar array system.
