Flexible photovoltaic panel pressure measurement method

What is the wind vibration coefficient of flexible PV support structure?

The wind vibration coefficients in different zones under the wind pressure or wind suction are mostly between 2.0 and 2.15. Compared with the experimental results, the current Chinese national standards are relatively conservative in the equivalent static wind loads of flexible PV support structure. 1. Introduction

Can wind load models be used to design flexibly supported PV panels?

A wind load model that considered the wind-induced moment was presented based on the nonuniform distribution of wind pressure. This proposed model and its distribution coefficients can be used in designing flexibly supported PV panels. Figure 10. Installation drawing of a rigid model wind tunnel.

How does wind pressure affect a flexible PV support structure?

When the flexible PV support structure is subjected to wind pressure, the maximum of mean vertical displacement occurs in the first rows at high wind speeds. The shielding effect greatly affects the wind-induced response of flexible PV support structure at α = 20°.

Do flexible PV support structures deflection more sensitive to fluctuating wind loads?

This suggests that the deflection of the flexible PV support structure is more sensitive to fluctuating wind loads compared to the axial force. Considering the safety of flexible PV support structures, it is reasonable to use the displacement wind-vibration coefficient rather than the load wind-vibration coefficient.

How to identify wind load on PV panel?

In order to ensure proper functioning of the PV panel a precise identification of wind load is required. The Romanian code in this case will be very much helpful to identify the wind loads on PV panel. To evaluate the wind pressure, this code can be applied over the mono-pitched canopies.

Why are flexible PV mounting systems important?

Traditional rigid photovoltaic (PV) support structures exhibit several limitations during operational deployment. Therefore, flexible PV mounting systems have been developed. These flexible PV supports, characterized by their heightened sensitivity to wind loading, necessitate a thorough analysis of their static and dynamic responses.
