4 FAQs about Photovoltaic bracket modal analysis

Does tracking photovoltaic support system have a modal analysis?

While significant progress has been made by scholars in the exploration of wind pressure distribution, pulsation characteristics, and dynamic response of tracking photovoltaic support system, there is a notable gap in the literature when it comes to modal analysis of tracking photovoltaic support system.

What is modal testing of flexible PV support structure?

A comprehensive field modal testing of the flexible PV support structure is conducted, obtaining its high-order modal parameters in the first time from vision-based and sensor-based measurements using the proposed modal parameter identification method.

What are the dynamic characteristics of photovoltaic support systems?

Key findings are as follows. Dynamic characteristics of tracking photovoltaic support systems obtained through field modal testing at various inclinations, revealing three torsional modes within the 2.9–5.0 Hz frequency range, accompanied by relatively small modal damping ratios ranging from 1.07 % to 2.99 %.

What are the dynamic characteristics of the tracking photovoltaic support system?

Through processing and analyzing the measured modal data of the tracking photovoltaic support system with Donghua software, the dynamic characteristic parameters of the tracking photovoltaic support system could be obtained, including frequencies, vibration modes and damping ratio.
