  • Trina Solar released the TrinaTracker Agile 1P Dual Row, which is a dual-row, one-in-portrait, single-axis tracker compatible with modules from 400 W to 670 W. The Agile collection is a new member of the TrinaTracker family after the Vanguard series introduced in December.

Agile 1P has actually formally gone into automation. Up to now, the international mounted capacity of TrinaTracker has surpassed 5 GW, with 8 GW of annual production capacity on trackers in 2021.

CPP, a wind tunnel examination company, placed the Agile 1P tracker through vibrant, static as well as complete aeroelastic wind tunnel tests, imitating procedure under actual problems. Through these examinations, TrinaTracker enhanced the hardware's design to ensure all the parts of the tracker system were operating in these substitute conditions.

Agile 1P leverages a multi-drive (dual-slewing) system and copyrighted spherical bearing to boost the general stability of the tracker system, effectively decreasing the system's aeroelasticity, boosting load transmission performance, preventing rotation error as well as boosting the overall framework. The spherical bearing can decrease the framework tension and deformation as well as further boost integrity and flexibility in complicated terrains, the company specified in a press release.

Agile 1P will certainly store at a horizontal orientation in gusty wind, protecting against structural failure. The Dual-Row style of Agile 1P shortens the tracker length to only 72 M (around 236 feet), installation approximately 120 modules per tracker.

When contrasted to a standard 1-MW system format, the amount of Agile 1P trackers is decreased by 33%, the firm mentioned in a press release. The spherical bearing of TrinaTracker utilizes self-alignment with angle adjustability of 30%, which can deal with the installment inconsistency and also lower failing rate in addition to operation as well as upkeep expenses.

The upcoming TrinaTracker SCADA system, updated from TrinaTracker Cloud, will certainly feature remote tracking, early caution, intelligent diagnosis as well as troubleshooting. It's indicated to boost the effective operating time under different weather, detect the real-time tracker troubles and do repairing appropriately. Agile 1P makes use of a proprietary "SuperTrack" formula that supplies an added yield obtain approximately 8%.

" Trina Solar's tracker business has to consider the advancements from all perspectives," claimed Duan Shuwei, head of the tracker company device at Trina Solar. "Currently, [the] tracker market's primary focuses are wind engineering and also architectural enhancement, but we also require to consider the software application growth such as intelligent tracking algorithms as well as SCADA system."
