How wind induced vibration response of flexible PV support structure?

Aeroelastic model wind tunnel tests The wind-induced vibration response of flexible PV support structure under different cases was studied by using aeroelastic model for wind tunnel test, including different tilt angles of PV modules, different initial force of cables, and different wind speeds.

Are flexible PV support structures prone to vibrations under cross winds?

For aeroelastic model tests, it can be observed that the flexible PV support structure is prone to large vibrations under cross winds. The mean vertical displacement of the flexible PV support structure increases with the wind speed and tilt angle of the PV modules.

How to reduce wind load of PV support structure?

It is also necessary to reasonably increase the template gap and reduce the ground clearance in order to reduce the wind load of the PV support structure, enhance the wind resistance of the PV support structure, and improve the safety and reliability of the PV support structure. 2.7. Other Factors

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.

Does wind-induced vibration affect flexible PV supports?

Discussion The wind load is a vital load affecting PV supports, and the harm caused by wind-induced vibration due to wind loads is enormous. Aiming at the wind-induced vibration of flexible PV supports, a PV building integration technology [86, 87] was proposed to reduce the harm caused by wind vibration.

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°.
