A technical simulation and economic model was developed for a floating photovoltaic (PV)-battery system powering a submerged light emitting diode (LED) lighting system. The system was designed to provide around the equivalent of 1000 lumens (lm) of light of the existing light fishing technology...

LED (light emitting diode) technology has been developed rapidly in recent years in the area of illumination applications. However, the rate of heat generation increases with the LED illumination intensity. The LED chip temperature is critical to determine the LED lifetime and efficiency. In...
