Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus and equipment for adjusting the cable force of a three-cable photovoltaic flexible support. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible photovoltaic (PV) support structures are a new type of support structure that mounts PV modules on a parallel prestressed cable system. They mainly consist of a load-bearing cable system, end and middle support structures, and a wind-resistant stabilization system. In recent years, thanks to their significant advantages such as high land utilization efficiency, strong terrain adaptability, and minimal ecological disturbance, this structural form has been rapidly promoted and applied in PV power plant construction.

[0003] However, the dual-cable flexible photovoltaic support system, widely used in current engineering projects, faces significant challenges in its wind resistance stability. This system's lightweight structure and low natural frequency make it susceptible to two main types of instability under strong winds: dynamic instability, manifested as significant flutter due to aeroelastic coupling at high wind speeds, which can lead to structural damage or even failure over time; and static instability, where insufficient out-of-plane stiffness can cause excessive deformation under sustained static wind loads, potentially leading to torsional divergence or overall overturning. These two problems severely restrict the safe and reliable application of dual-cable flexible supports in areas with significant wind loads.

[0004] To address this issue, existing technologies have introduced improved solutions using a spatial cable net system composed of three load-bearing cables. While this type of three-cable system, achieved by increasing the number of cable strands and optimizing spatial arrangement, theoretically improves the overall structural stiffness and aerodynamic stability, it still faces significant limitations in practical engineering applications. In existing three-cable systems, the cable tension of each load-bearing cable is a fixed value pre-set based on human experience, unable to adaptively adjust according to actual conditions or achieve precise matching. This means that even if excessive or insufficient cable tension leads to deformation or instability of the support structure, rapid and precise fine-tuning is impossible; the system must be disassembled and re-tensioned, resulting in cumbersome and extremely inefficient operations.
