6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic support loading]
What is the wind load of a PV support?
The wind load is the most significant load when designing a PV support; thus, its value and calculation should be investigated. Different countries have their own specifications and, consequently, equations for the wind loads of PV supports.
Can photovoltaic support systems track wind pressure and pulsation?
Currently, most existing literature on tracking photovoltaic support systems mainly focuses on wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations regarding wind pressure and pulsation characteristics. There is limited research that utilizes field modal testing to obtain dynamic characteristics.
Are photovoltaic power generation systems vulnerable to wind loads?
(1) Background: As environmental issues gain more attention, switching from conventional energy has become a recurring theme. This has led to the widespread development of photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems. PV supports, which support PV power generation systems, are extremely vulnerable to wind loads.
Why is a photovoltaic support system prone to torsional vibrations?
Due to the lower natural frequencies and torsional stiffness, the system is susceptible to significant torsional vibrations induced by wind. Currently, most existing literature on tracking photovoltaic support systems mainly focuses on wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations regarding wind pressure and pulsation characteristics.
How stiff is a tracking photovoltaic support system?
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.
What is a floating PV support?
A floating PV support is a structure that uses PV panels that are fixed by anchor blocks and floats on the water’s surface with a buoy.
