The tracking photovoltaic support system ( Fig. 1) is mainly composed of an axis bar, PV support purlins, pillars (including one driving pillar in the middle and nine other non-driving pillars), sliding bearings and a driving device. The axis bar is composed of 11 shaft rods. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the photovoltaic support purlins.
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 %.
Currently, most existing literature on tracking photovoltaic support systems mainly focuses on wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations regarding wind pressure and pulsation characteristics. There is limited research that utilizes field modal testing to obtain dynamic characteristics.
Ground-mounted PV systems have been widely used in large-scale solar farms in deserts, open areas and mountains. These systems are cost-effective and easy to construct. However, they occupy large land resources, have high requirement for land flatness, and damage soil and vegetation.
In terms of the mechanical properties of the actual components of the tracking photovoltaic support system, the bar element and shell element were used to simulate different components: beam elements were mainly used to simulate the axis bar, photovoltaic support purlins and pillars. Shell elements were used to simulate the photovoltaic panel.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
