Photovoltaic support wind resistance software

Why is wind resistance important in PV power generation systems?

Therefore, wind resistance is essential for a safe, durable, and sustainable PV power generation system. There are three modes of support in PV power generation systems: fixed , flexible , and floating [4, 5]. Fixed PV supports are structures with the same rear position and angle.

Are large photovoltaic systems vulnerable to wind storms?

Large photovoltaic (PV) systems have been enjoying renewed interest in clean and renewable energy. However, designing resilient PV systems faces an increased risk due to windstorms. Whether wind loads on PV systems are well understood, properly accounted for, and the damage is mitigated are crucial questions.

Can a tracking photovoltaic support system reduce wind-induced vibration?

Finite element analysis also showed a slight increase in natural frequencies with increasing inclination angle, which was in good agreement. This suggests that the design of the tracking photovoltaic support system can be optimized to reduce the impact of wind-induced vibration on the tracking photovoltaic support system.

Are flexible PV supports sensitive to wind?

Flexible PV supports are highly sensitive to fluctuating wind, and thus numerous scholars have studied the wind-induced response of flexible PV supports.

What are the main wind load issues associated with PV supports?

Making full use of the previous research results, the following are the main wind load issues associated with the three types of PV supports: (1) the factors affecting the wind loads of PV supports—the main factors are shown in Figure 2; (2) the wind-induced vibration of PV supports; (3) the value and calculation of the wind load of a PV support.

What is the eccentricity of a wind-resistant PV system?

Regarding the wind-resistant design, the eccentricity of wind load has received much attention. Zhang et al. used different wind speeds to analyze the stress of PV system under 41° of tension, which showed that the wind load point deviates from that of the PV system geometry center, i.e., eccentric distribution.
