Withstand Rough OceansFloating solar farms are solar panels that are fixed on the surface of bodies of water such as lakes and reservoirs(水库)to save space on land or provide electricity to remote locations.Now,engineers and scientists are beginning to develop ways to put solar farms on the surface of the ocean to bring electricity to isolated(偏僻的)places,such as the island nation of Indonesia,where more than a million people are without access to electricity.A study found that if 10 percent of the planets hydropower reservoirs were covered with floating solar panels,4,000 gigawatts of electricity could be generated as much as all the fossil(化石)fuel power plants in the world.While solar farms may be cheaper,they still use space that could be used for things like farming and housing.“Floating solar is very convenient because it can just be put on top of the water,and if you need more electricity you can put on more solar panels,”said Dr.Luofeng Huang.The difficulty with floating solar panels on the ocean is the roughness(汹涌)of the waves,which can damage solar panels.New research is being conducted to develop methods for keeping solar panels operative in the high seas.Huangs research team is developing a different kind of solar power plant offshore that will use a floating breakwater system located upstream from the solar panels to reduce the height of the waves by around 90 percent.The waves then enter an enclosed buffer(缓冲)zone that also reduces their power.The floating solar farms may be the only renewable power option in some places,even though their maintenance will be expensive.In Singapore the cost of land is very high and people there have already used most of their rooftop surface area.If they can use the ocean surface

DezhouDingzhuang Floating Solar Farm provides solar power to Dezhou,a city of about five million people.Testing yourself I.Match the words to their meanings in the text.withstand to produce generate
