6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic support wind tunnel report]

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.

How to reduce wind load of PV support structure?

It is also necessary to reasonably increase the template gap and reduce the ground clearance in order to reduce the wind load of the PV support structure, enhance the wind resistance of the PV support structure, and improve the safety and reliability of the PV support structure. 2.7. Other Factors

How does wind load affect PV panel support?

2. Influencing Factors of Wind Load of PV Panel Support 2.1. Panel Inclination Angle The angle β between the PV panel and the horizontal plane is called the panel inclination (Figure 3). Because of the PV panel’s varying inclination angle, a PV power generation system’s wind load varies, impacting the system’s power generation efficiency. Figure 3.

How wind induced vibration response of flexible PV support structure?

Aeroelastic model wind tunnel tests The wind-induced vibration response of flexible PV support structure under different cases was studied by using aeroelastic model for wind tunnel test, including different tilt angles of PV modules, different initial force of cables, and different wind speeds.

How to design a PV support system?

When designing PV support systems, the wind load is the primary load to consider for PV power generation. The amount of the PV wind load is influenced by various elements, such as the panel inclination angle, wind direction angle, body type coefficient, geometric scale, shielding effect, and template gap.

Does wind-induced vibration affect a cable-supported PV module?

Therefore, both aeroelastic and rigid model wind tunnel tests were conducted to investigate the wind-induced vibration (WIV) characteristics of a typical cable-supported PV module. The effects of module tilt angle, cable pre-tension, and wind speed on the vertical displacement response and the aerodynamic damping were evaluated.
