Abstract The floating photovoltaic power (FPV) station becomes popular to decrease carbon emission. However, limited research has been done on the dynamic response of the mooring lines of the FPV array. Based on a typical 2.14MW FPV array, this study investigates the displacement of the array and the mooring tension of the mooring lines. The numerical model of the FPV array is built through three-dimensional potential theory with 124 mooring lines. Firstly, the effect of the environment on the response is investigated under wave-only, current-only and wind-only conditions. Then, the tension and motion in the combined environmental loads are analyzed. It is found that the wind load has the greatest influence on the motion and mooring tension on the FPV power station, the effect of wave and current on the response is very limited.
