SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLEXIBLE SOLAR TRACKER AND TESTING
Disclosed herein is a technique of configuring flexible photovoltaic tracker systems with high damping and low angle stow positions. Under dynamic environmental loads implementing a high amount of damping (e.g., greater than 25% of critical damping, greater than 50% of critical damping) or a very hi...

| description | Disclosed herein is a technique of configuring flexible photovoltaic tracker systems with high damping and low angle stow positions. Under dynamic environmental loads implementing a high amount of damping (e.g., greater than 25% of critical damping, greater than 50% of critical damping) or a very high amount of damping (e.g., 100% or greater of critical damping, infinite damping) enables the flexible tracker system to prevent problematic aeroelastic behaviors while positioned in a low stow angle. The disclosed technique is further applied to a prototyping process during wind tunnel testing.
Une technique de configuration de systèmes de suivi photovoltaïque flexible à amortissement élevé et à positions rentrées à angle bas est décrite. En présence de charges environnementales dynamiques appliquant un degré élevé d'amortissement (p. ex., plus de 25 % d'amortissement critique, plus de 50 % d'amortissement critique) ou un degré très élevé d'amortissement (p. ex., 100 % d'amortissement critique ou plus, amortissement infini), le système de suivi flexible peut prévenir les comportements aéroélastiques problématiques en position rentrée à angle bas. La technique décrite est aussi appliquée à un procédé de prototypage pendant un essai de soufflerie. |
