Solar tracking systems (STS) are essential to enhancing solar energy harvesting efficiency. This study investigates the effectiveness of STS for improving the energy output of Photovoltaic
The two-axis PV tracker generates 30.79% more than the tilt angle fixed system on the same latitude. The annual photovoltaic electricity generation was 11.53 MWh with an energy rating of 1459 kWh/kWp with the 28 stable tilt angle. The
PV failure monitoring attempts to identify physical faults through analysis of monitored digital data produced by a PV plant or module. The most general effect of faults is loss of produced
Because the support structure of the tracking photovoltaic support system has a long extension length and the components are D-shaped hollow steel pipes, the overall stiffness of the structure was found to be low, and the first three natural frequencies were between 2.934 and 4.921.
Recent research indicates that the dynamic characteristics of tracking photovoltaic support system, namely inertia, damping, and stiffness, significantly influence the tracking photovoltaic support system's ability to respond to wind-induced loads, affecting its stability, reliability, and overall performance , .
In this study, field instrumentation was used to assess the vibrational characteristics of a selected tracking photovoltaic support system. Using ANSYS software, a modal analysis and finite element model of the structure were developed and validated by comparing measured data with model predictions. Key findings are as follows.
In terms of finite element analysis, Wittwer et al., obtained modal parameters of the tracking photovoltaic support system with finite element analysis, and the results are similar to those of this study, indicating that the natural frequencies of the structure remain largely unchanged.
While significant progress has been made by scholars in the exploration of wind pressure distribution, pulsation characteristics, and dynamic response of tracking photovoltaic support system, there is a notable gap in the literature when it comes to modal analysis of tracking photovoltaic support system.
In addition, future peer-to-peer (P2P) PV markets will require PV energy prediction forecasts for efficient energy trading. Comparing performance of different systems is another popular method for identifying faults.
