Calculation of wind resistance of photovoltaic power station

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.

How does wind load affect photovoltaic panels?

The wind load on the photovoltaic panel array is sensitive to wind speed, wind direction, turbulence intensity, and the parameters of the solar photovoltaic panel structure. Many researchers have carried out experimental and numerical simulation analyses on the wind load of photovoltaic panel arrays. Table 1.

How to study wind load of photovoltaic panel arrays?

Many researchers have carried out experimental and numerical simulation analyses on the wind load of photovoltaic panel arrays. Table 1. Features of different offshore floating photovoltaics. The boundary-layer wind tunnels (BLWTs) are a common physical experiment method used in the study of photovoltaic wind load.

Which area of a photovoltaic panel has the highest wind load?

Obviously, the second area with the highest wind load always occurs at the leading edge of the first reverse-mounted photovoltaic panel (Fig. 12). This mean that pressure distribution on the surface of each photovoltaic panel is largely related to the installation direction of the photovoltaic panel.
