Description

1 TARIFF FIXING SYSTEM FOR SOLAR POWER PLANTS Technical Area 5 The invention relates to a fixing system used in solar power plants (SPPs). The invention specifically addresses the grounding of steel structures used in solar power plants. 10 traditional methods such as nailing steel profiles and ROC method that enable fixing. It relates to a fastening system that offers an alternative to existing fastening methods. State of the Art Solar power plants (SPPs) generate electricity from sustainable sources. It consists of photovoltaic panels installed on the ground to provide this. For the systems to operate efficiently, the steel structures supporting the panels must be on the ground. Secure and durable fastening is critically important. Current technology allows for field work. In this type of solar power plant application, traditionally, nailed steel profiles are used for this fastening process. There are two main methods: the system and the assembly system with ROC machine. 20 is being implemented. The steel profile fastening system involves fastening steel profiles using fastening machines delivered to the site. It is based on the principle of driving the material directly into the ground. In this method, the driving machine... Items such as purchasing or leasing, transportation, and operator needs are significant. 25 This creates a cost burden. Furthermore, the non-homogeneous nature of the land structure, and the varying terrain... Due to varying soil hardness in the regions, the driving depths must be suitable for the project. This makes it difficult to achieve this. For example, in the project, 130cm underground The profiles that need to be nailed are only 100cm, 80cm, or none at all in some areas. Situations are encountered where it is impossible to achieve this. This situation affects both the project designer and the 30 This puts both the implementer and the investor in a difficult position, both technically and financially. Also, due to the high force applied during the piling process, the column profiles... There is a risk of deformation during the design phase of ground-mounted solar power applications. In static calculations based on the loads applied to the structure, the column (support) Although thicknesses of 2–2.5mm are considered sufficient, 3–4mm are generally preferred due to the risk of deformation. 2 Profiles with a thickness of mm have to be preferred. This also increases material consumption. It increases. Another method applied in current technology is the ROC machine assembly system. 5 in hard surfaces where driving is not possible (clay, marble, rock, etc.) This method is implemented using a machine called a ROC machine. Preliminary holes are drilled at the points where the columns will be placed. Then, either... The columns are placed by pouring concrete before the concrete sets (approaches hardening). The process involves filling the pits with materials such as sand and gravel, and then compacting the material. Both approaches create high labor and operational complexity in the field. 10 Problems with concrete supply due to small volume orders during the concreting process. While it is habitable, the filling method applied with filling materials such as sand and gravel is It requires a second machine and operator. Also, the filling material must be brought to the site. The process of transporting the goods and filling the holes with the filling is also time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is a process that requires. For these reasons, the assembly method applied with ROC machines is 15 It is inefficient in terms of both time and cost. With the steel profile fastening system and ROC machine applied in the known state of the art. In both methods, including the assembly system, alignment and squareness errors occur in the field. This can lead to delays in the implementation process and material / machine dependency. This situation is increasing. This affects the technical accuracy and economic viability of solar power projects. This negatively affects its sustainability. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 1... In the fastening system applied in the technology (M), the wind load that will occur in the field is fixed The amount of ground (Z) that is trying to hold the surface is seen. Therefore, the known technique... In this case, 25 is used for fixing steel structures to the ground in solar power plant projects. We need an alternative system that will eliminate the problems that are being experienced. It has been heard. In conclusion, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of the current solutions, This has made it necessary to make improvements in the technical field. 30 Purpose of the Invention The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and contributes to the relevant technical field.

The purpose of the invention is to replace conventional fastening methods such as bolted steel profiles and the ROC method. as an alternative to these methods, it is lower cost, requires less labor, and all 5 A fastening system has emerged that offers a fixing solution applicable to various ground types. to place. Another aim of the invention is a system that can be implemented in the field with just a drill. Thanks to this, the need for ROC machines, piling machines or special operators on site is eliminated. 10 The goal is to create a fixing system that lifts it. Another purpose of the invention is to address the difficulties of the driving process in materials such as hard clay, marble, and stony ground. The goal is to create a fastening system that can be easily implemented even in field environments. Another purpose of the invention is to provide fastening with metal nails instead of profiles driven into the ground. A fastening method that reduces costs by using less steel. The goal is to establish the system.
