The wind-induced vibration caused by wind loads is one of the main reasons for the failure of PV supports, so the research focus is not only to improve the power generation efficiency of PV systems but also to reduce the wind-induced vibration of PV support structures.
Analyzing the aerodynamic loads on both solar panels and their support structures is crucial in the operation of a PV system. However, there is limited research on the wind-induced response of flexible cable-supported photovoltaic systems, with a notable lack of quantitative assessment of wind vibration responses.
However, the PV panel generates wind-induced vibration due to the wind load, which can damage the system (Figure 12). To solve this problem, a new method has been used to analyze the reliability of solar PV systems.
While there is substantial research on the wind-induced response of fixed PV supports, encompassing rooftop and ground-mounted systems, , , .Numerical CFD simulations and experimental research have been conducted by several researchers, , , to investigate the wind field and wind-induced response of PV supports system.
