Many previous studies have determined the impact of wind on solar photovoltaic panel arrays, but mainly on land, mountain, or roof solar photovoltaic panels. However, the wind load conditions on the ocean are harsher than those on land, mountains, or lakes, and the flow conditions are more complicated.
The present study contributes to the evaluation of the deformation and robustness of photovoltaic module under ocean wind load according to the standard of IEC 61215 using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The effect of wind on photovoltaic panels is analyzed for three speeds of 32 m per second (m/s), 42 m/s, and 50 m/s.
The influence of PV panel installation mode on the wind load of PV panel array model at high Reynolds number (Re =1.3 × 10 5) was studied by a wind tunnel experiment, including PV panel inclination, wind direction, and longitudinal panel spacing of photovoltaic panels (Yemenici, 2020).
Photovoltaic solar panels, which to generate ships' electricity, are always vulnerable to wind damage because they are mounted on deck. At present, they do not provide comprehensive guidelines for reducing the impact of wind on photovoltaic structures.
How does wind load affect PV power generation? A wind load accelerates the cooling of PV panels, thereby reducing the cell''s temperature and increasing the power generation efficiency for PV power
Moreover, high wind events can cause significant vibrations in solar PV panels mounted on tracking systems. These trackers are designed to follow the sun''s movement throughout the day, but
