Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of performance testing of photovoltaic support structures, and in particular to an aeroelastic response wind tunnel testing platform and method for flexible photovoltaic support structures. Background Art
[0002] Photovoltaic brackets are an important part of photovoltaic systems. Their main function is to carry and fix photovoltaic modules and ensure the stability and long-term operation performance of photovoltaic power generation systems under complex environmental conditions. In recent years, with the increasing demand for lightweight and flexible design of photovoltaic systems, flexible photovoltaic brackets have gradually become one of the hot spots for research and development due to their excellent adaptability and economy.
[0003] Flexible photovoltaic brackets are made of materials with certain elasticity and deformability. Compared with traditional rigid brackets, they have the advantages of light weight, easy installation, and strong wind resistance. However, the structural characteristics of flexible photovoltaic brackets also make them exhibit more significant aerodynamic-structural coupling behavior under wind loads, such as aeroelastic phenomena such as vortex-induced vibration, flutter, and galloping. These phenomena may cause fatigue damage to the bracket, affect the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic modules, and may even cause structural failure of the system. Therefore, in-depth research on the dynamic characteristics of flexible photovoltaic brackets under wind is of great significance to improving the overall safety and reliability of photovoltaic systems.
[0004] At present, the research on the aerodynamic performance of photovoltaic brackets mainly focuses on numerical simulation and traditional wind tunnel tests. However, the existing technology has significant deficiencies in the following aspects: (1) Limitations of numerical simulation: Existing numerical simulation methods often require simplification of the wind field environment, bracket material properties and coupling effects, which makes it difficult to truly reflect the dynamic response characteristics of flexible brackets in complex wind fields, especially in the accurate prediction of nonlinear aerodynamic-structural coupling behavior. There are certain errors. (2) Insufficient experimental equipment: Traditional wind tunnel tests are mainly designed for rigid structures, and test equipment usually cannot meet the dynamic response requirements of flexible photovoltaic brackets. For example, existing wind tunnel equipment lacks the ability to fully measure the deformation and vibration characteristics of flexible brackets, making it difficult to truly simulate the behavior of brackets under actual wind field conditions. (3) Limited simulation capabilities of wind field environment: The wind field characteristics in the natural environment are complex, including the influence of multiple factors such as turbulence, gusts, and shear wind. Most existing wind tunnel test equipment uses uniform flow field testing, which is difficult to effectively simulate the non-uniform wind field characteristics in actual use environments. Summary of the invention
