CHANGZHOU, China, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
TrinaTracker, a leading tracker manufacturer and business unit of Trina Solar
Co., Ltd. has globally published a white paper "Strategies to mitigate wind
related risks in trackers compatible with ultra-high-power modules" after
launching the webinar "Ensuring the tracker stability in extreme weather
conditions" in partnership with PV Magazine. TrinaTracker ratified the
stability of its Agile 1P and Vanguard 2P in extreme weather conditions by
performing wind tunnel tests in collaboration with the leading wind engineering
consultancy firms CPP and RWDI.
PV tracking system has become a critical investment for asset owners and
investors who expect long-lasting and reliable systems to optimize returns.
Nowadays, PV plants are installed in various sites, many of them with highly
demanding terrain characteristics and extreme weather conditions. Moreover, the
mounting of ultra-high-power modules, in strong demand by the industry,
involves higher wind loads added to the trackers. The solar industry has long
realized that building codes do not consider the tracker-specific aeroelastic
effects produced by the action of wind. Therefore, more advanced analytic tests
are necessary for reliable tracker design.
In the webinar, Markus Balz (Managing Director of SBP – independent third-party
global leading renewable energy engineering consulting firm) and Trina Solar
presenters Cruz Argüeso Chamorro (TrinaTracker Senior Civil Engineer), Marcos
Cerezo (TrinaTracker Engineer) and Gonzalo de la Viña (Head of Trina Solar
Europe) discussed the different models used in the wind tunnel testing and the
importance of performing the Full Aeroelastic Model Test. Moreover, they
presented TrinaTracker's optimized design solutions to mitigate wind-related
risk on trackers. The designs include strengthened structures and different
stow strategies for 1P and 2P configurations according to the wind tunnel tests
results, which further upgrade the stability and reliability of TrinaTracker in
terms of application with ultra-high-power modules.
Markus Balz, Managing Director of SBP stated: "after several years of
supporting tracker companies, EPCs and developers in the field of trackers, it
is a relief to see TrinaTracker offering sophisticated design approaches to
tackle safety and cost optimization at the same time."
Jason Duan, Head of tracker business unit at Trina Solar, said: "I am proud to
confirm that TrinaTracker offers a bankable product to asset owners and
investors. TrinaTracker will continue to put its efforts into designing
optimized tracking solutions for customers that can provide validated
reliability, durability and maximum energy yield in every site."
