How to Calculate wind pressure of on-site project? How to guarantee the photovoltaic mounting system meets the design requirements for mechanical properties? 1.The formula is as follows: P = 0.5 × ρ × v² Where: P is the wind pressure, with the unit of Pascal (Pa) ; ρ is the air density, with the unit of kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³), which is approximately 1.225 kg/m³ under standard atmospheric pressure and temperature v is the wind speed, with the unit of meters per second (m/s) Suppose the maximum wind speed v = 55 m/s and the air density ρ = 1.225 kg/m³, calculate the wind pressure: P = 0.5 × 1.225 × 55 ² = 1853 Pa 2. Calculating Tensile Strength By using wind pressure and the area of the photovoltaic panel, The formula is as follows: F = P × A F is the tensile force, measured in Newtons (N) P is the pressure, measured in Pascals (Pa) A is the area of the photovoltaic panel, measured in square meters (m²) The largest size of the current photovoltaic panel is 2.5m × 1.5m, so the area of the panel is 2.5 × 1.5 =3.75 square meters. Assuming a wind speed of 55m/s and a wind pressure of 1853Pa, the calculation is: F = 1853 × 3.75 = 6986N 3. Equivalent Weight By using the tensile strength and the gravitational acceleration constant, The formula is as follows: m = P × A / g, m is the weight of the object, measured in kilograms (kg) g is the gravitational acceleration, approximately 9.8m/s² Calculating with a wind speed of 55m/s and a panel area of 2.7 square meters: M = 5003 / 9.8 ≈ 500kg. This means that the photovoltaic panel needs to have the strength to withstand a tensile force equivalent to 500kg, ensuring that it will not be severely damaged under a wind speed of 55m/s."

🌞 Excited to share my latest project in solar panel structural design! 🚀 Today, I had the opportunity to design a structural framework for solar panels. In the video, the first component is a base plate with dimensions of 150x150x6 mm. Following that, I designed the front leg structure using ISC 75, and the back leg structure also with ISC 75. Next, I developed four perlins, each with dimensions of 60x40x15x2.2 mm, placed according to the dimensions of the solar panels. The rafter was then designed to support the perlins, followed by the bracings which support the overall panel structure. Finally, I incorporated 10 Canadian Solar panels, each rated at 230 watts, arranged in a 5x2 configuration. This project was quite challenging, but it reinforced the importance of focus and dedication to learning. Precision in dimensioning and placement of each component was critical. I am confident that this experience has prepared me for designing even more complex structures in the future. Looking forward to new challenges and continuous learning in the field of solar energy design!

#foundation #check #solvingproblems #savingmoney Did you know that 5-10% of turbines over 5 years of use struggle with minor or major #foundation problems? Regular inspection of foundation condition by professionals is the best way to reduce the costs of potential repairs. Measuring tower deflection movements is one method of verifying that the anchor element still works properly with the tower. The correctness of the measurement is determined by a number of factors, so it should not be performed without detailed knowledge of the methodology of this process. It should also be remembered that the measurement result is only one element of the analysis and not a ready answer. Visual inspection and analysis of the detailed design are equally important. #design #soilimprovement #repairs #inspections #coatings #towermovementscheck #civilengineer #civilengineering #structuralengineer #geotechnics #geotechnicaldesign #gprenewables #soilimprovement #structuralengineering #renewables #repowering #windenergy #windpower #design #engineering #construction #offshore #onshore #energy #consultants #wind #foundations #windfarm #windpark #steel #concrete #loads #fatigueloads #infrastructure #renewableenergy #reinforcement #foundationdesign #windturbine

📓✏️Why Pursue a Minor in Renewable Energy as a Civil Engineer? During my master in Hydraulics and Water Resources at Instituto Superior Técnico, I also did a minor in Renewable Energy. As a civil engineer focused on water resources and hydraulics, and more specifically hydropower, expanding my expertise to include renewable energy is very strategic. Ultimately, our goal is to meet our clients' needs and, in this case, help them profit from energy production. The energy market is evolving rapidly, with solar and wind technologies becoming more prominent. Understanding how these technologies can complement hydropower allows us to provide innovative solutions, increasing profitability, reducing risk, and enhancing integration with the environment and local communities. It's also crucial to "speak the same language" as our clients, understand the energy markets and the challenges of hybrid systems, which civil engineers working solely with hydropower might not always be aware of. This broader knowledge base ensures we can offer comprehensive and effective solutions. For example, recently I also did a very comprehensive course on ESG by ESG Academy, including carbon markets, GHG emissions, and other relevant topics to the energy sector. #CivilEngineering #RenewableEnergy #Hydropower #SolarEnergy #WindEnergy #Sustainability #EnergyMarkets #HybridSystems #EnvironmentalIntegration #WaterResources #Hydraulics #Innovation #SustainableSolutions
