Arctech Launches Globe's First PV Company-owned Wind Tunnel Research Laboratory to Wisely Increase the Stability of Trackers

• Technical database of laboratory will certainly empower trackers with much better wind resistance ability and reduced LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) of PV nuclear power plant

Arctech, the world's leading tracking, racking, and also BIPV options provider, announced that the launch ceremony of its wind tunnel research laboratory was efficiently held at the headquarters located in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, China on sixth September, marking that the business has actually come to be the first in the PV market worldwide to have a wind tunnel laboratory.

Outfitted with the world-leading screening capacities of architectural static pressure and structural vibrant reaction, the research laboratory can evaluate the effect of wind on trackers at rates of up to 30m per 2nd, a speed which would cover more than likely real-world scenarios. The technological data source will be leveraged as the source of fundamental style parameters for item layout, R&D and also product structure layout verification in the future.

By applying the technological database for concept design and also structure design for product, the wind tunnel Laboratory will enable the company to imitate various regional settings around the world and also serve the very purpose to lower LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) of PV power plants by increasing the stability of trackers.

Bruce Wang mentioned, "We believe that the launch of Wind Tunnel Research laboratory will continuously improve Arctech's presence in reducing LCOE of PV power plants as the lab will certainly enable us to perform practical and also certified wind tunnel tests for precise wind resistant information and maximize the layout for mitigating wind-related threat on trackers and also equipping trackers with far better wind resistance ability."

Solar trackers are commonly referred to as stiff structural components; while the major axis of solar tracker is prone to deformation triggered by vertical bending, torsion, as well as complicated natural problems in different regions. For that reason, more advanced analytic tests are required for dependable tracker design as the placing of ultra-high-power modules, which remain in solid need by the market, includes greater wind loads contributed to the trackers.

Arctech has always centralized the wind tunnel test by developing stringent style requirements as well as making sure the execution. The brand-new lab marks one more landmark of the business's decision in guaranteeing security and also stability and also ultimately empowering the popularization of solar tracker.
