6 FAQs about [Introduction to the foundation of flexible support photovoltaic pile]

What is a supporting cable structure for PV modules?

Czaloun (2018) proposed a supporting cable structure for PV modules, which reduces the foundation to only four columns and four fundaments. These systems have the advantages of light weight, strong bearing capacity, large span, low cost, less steel consumption and applicability to complex terrain.

What is cable-supported photovoltaic (PV)?

Cable-supported photovoltaic (PV) modules have been proposed to replace traditional beam-supported PV modules. The new system uses suspension cables to bear the loads of the PV modules and therefore has the characteristics of a long span, light weight, strong load capacity, and adaptability to complex terrains.

What is a PV support structure?

Support structures are the foundation of PV modules and directly affect the operational safety and construction investment of PV power plants. A good PV support structure can significantly reduce construction and maintenance costs. In addition, PV modules are susceptible to turbulence and wind gusts, so wind load is the control load of PV modules.

Is a PHC pile foundation a reliable support structure for heliostats?

A comprehensive design program is proposed based on field tests and numerical simulations, considering deformation and bearing capacity. The study confirms the reliability of the PHC pile foundation as a support structure for heliostats, aiming to offer valuable insights for practical applications.

What are the characteristics of a cable-supported photovoltaic system?

Long span, light weight, strong load capacity, and adaptability to complex terrains. The nonlinear stiffness of the new cable-supported photovoltaic system is revealed. The failure mode of the new structure is discussed in detail. Dynamic characteristics and bearing capacity of the new structure are investigated.

What is the inflection point of a cable-supported PV system?

When the upward vertical displacement is less than 0.0639 m, the force first counteracts the self-weight of the cables and PV modules. Therefore, there is an inflection point at 0.0639 m. For the new cable-supported PV system, the lateral stiffness is much higher than the vertical stiffness.
