Structural Integrity and Performance Evaluation of Solar Tracker
Findings guide optimal material use for durability, cost-effectiveness, and structural integrity, enhancing the reliability of solar tracking systems in mechanical applications.
PV tracking systems' performance evaluation Due to the fact that a tracking system will increase the power production capacity of the solar PV panels in the farms, appropriate methods of performance appraisal must be employed.
The tracking photovoltaic support system (Fig. 1) is mainly composed of an axis bar, PV support purlins, pillars (including one driving pillar in the middle and nine other non-driving pillars), sliding bearings and a driving device. The axis bar is composed of 11 shaft rods. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the photovoltaic support purlins.
As a result, solar tracking support technology has been extensively employed in the domain of solar photovoltaic power generation. When the tilt angle of the tracking photovoltaic support system changes, the mass and stiffness distribution of the whole structure change correspondingly.
While significant progress has been made by scholars in the exploration of wind pressure distribution, pulsation characteristics, and dynamic response of tracking photovoltaic support system, there is a notable gap in the literature when it comes to modal analysis of tracking photovoltaic support system.
Findings guide optimal material use for durability, cost-effectiveness, and structural integrity, enhancing the reliability of solar tracking systems in mechanical applications.
