Experimental data of photovoltaic cable submersion tests
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a duplicate dataset entry for the photovoltaic cable submersion tests (same as 45414). The experimental data covers plastic cable insulation degradation under freshwater and seawater conditions. It supports assessment of microplastic release from infrastructure-related plastic materials in aquatic environments.
Experimental data tables regarding the study of submersion of photovoltaic cables (with two different insulation materials) in freshwater and artificial seawater. Subjected to real life conditions, replicating when FPV systems are located in reservoirs or in the marine environment. Electrical insulation tests were carried out weekly to assess possible cable degradation, the physical-chemical characteristics of the water were also periodically monitored, complemented by analysis to detect traces of copper and microplastics in the water.
