What is a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure?

In order to respond to the national goal of “carbon neutralization” and make more rational and effective use of photovoltaic resources, combined with the actual photovoltaic substation project, a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure design is designed.

Can a solar array support structure withstand a wind load?

Even fixed solar array support structures have sofisticated design, that needs to be analyzed and often improved in order to withstand the wind load. The same applies of course to adjustable designs to an even greater extend. The analysis has to be carried out for many wind directions.

Can a support structure be rotated around a vertical axis?

The complete support structure rest on three rollers in a circular guide. In this way it can be rotated around the vertical axis. Calculations were carried out for several angles for both horizontal and vertical axes. Moreover, the weight cannot be neglected in this design. 4. RESULTS Both models were solved using MSC Nastran.

What is the main load of a support structure?

The main load of the support structures is caused by the wind action. Wind load has to be calculated according to EUROCODE 1 (1). According to this regulation only the total wind force is determined, and therefore it cannot be applied to a FE model directly. It has to be distributed to node loads.
