What is a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure?

In order to respond to the national goal of “carbon neutralization” and make more rational and effective use of photovoltaic resources, combined with the actual photovoltaic substation project, a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure design is designed.

What inclination angle should a PV panel array have?

We can then conclude that the optimal design for PV panel arrays should be an inclination angle of 35°, a column spacing of 0 m, and a row spacing of 3 m under low-and medium-velocity conditions, while panel inclination needs to be properly reduced under high-velocity conditions.

What is the optimal configuration for a photovoltaic panel array?

Under wind velocities of 2 m/s and 4 m/s, the optimal configuration for photovoltaic (PV) panel arrays was observed to possess an inclination angle of 35°, a column spacing of 0 m, and a row spacing of 3 m (S9), exhibiting the highest φ value indicative of wind resistance efficiency surpassing 0.64.

Why are structural and arrangement parameters important for PV power plants?

For large-scale PV power plant, the structural (inclination angle) and arrangement parameters (row spacing and column spacing) were important for improving power generation efficiency and sustaining the local environment and land use.

What is a ground-mounted PV power plant?

Ground-mounted PV power plant was built in 2016 and covered an area of 173 ha, which has two 500 kW PV generating sets that can generate 750,000 kWh of electricity every year. In the study area, PV panel arrays are arranged in east-west oriented rows and inclined southward at a set tilt angle.

What are the different types of PV power plants?

The PV power plants can be categorized into two major classes based on the mounting locations: roof-mounted and ground-mounted (Jubayer and Hangan, 2014). This study specifically focused on the ground-mounted PV system.
