Understanding the aeroelastic response of solar trackers under high turbulence wind flow is crucial for optimizing their design and performance. This paper presents a wind tunnel study on the aeroelastic response of solar trackers at a 1/20 scale.
In practical applications, a solar-tracking PV system is highly vulnerable to wind loads, as its drive mechanism needs to withstand not only the inherent weight of the PV modules but also the external forces exerted by wind .
Along the direction of the incoming wind, both the low-speed, low-pressure area and vortex intensity on the leeward surface of the photovoltaic panels gradually diminish. Velocity vector plot for the photovoltaic tracking support structure.
This paper presents a wind tunnel study on the aeroelastic response of solar trackers at a 1/20 scale. Three models were tested in a boundary layer wind tunnel under various wind directions (at specific intervals between 0° and 180°) and tilt angles ranging from 0° to 50°.
Our home solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment in Polish conditions. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control with remote management capabilities.
Higher wind speeds can initiate unsteady aerodynamic instabilities (galloping) which can initialize cracks and/or destroy sections of the array.
