This invention proposes a method for optimizing the
spatial configuration of flexible photovoltaic (PV) support structures, comprising: obtaining the flexible support
layout parameters; dynamically shrinking the
layout area based on the
centroid calculation and rotation alignment of CAD convex polygons to generate a safe
layout boundary; determining the
insertion point position of the end column and generating three-dimensional
terrain profile data of the flexible support axis according to the safe layout boundary and the rotated
terrain features; using an arc intersection tracking
algorithm to iteratively calculate the spacing between the middle columns with the end column position as the
initial point, forming a continuous
middle column positioning sequence; and generating a short-span structural layout table containing the number of components, tilt angle, and three-dimensional coordinate information by combining short-span vector calculation and plane normal direction determination. This invention enables the optimal
spatial configuration of flexible PV support structures within complex
terrain-defined areas, effectively improving power generation efficiency, reducing the
impact of shading, and enhancing the overall stability of the
system.
