RE+ Tech: Advanced Wind Tunnel Testing Yields Stronger Performance and Lower O&M for Solar Tracker Projects
Thursday, September 12, 2024
11:30 AM – 11:55 AM PT
Location: Installation and Operations Theater, Booth #D29101, Hall D, ACC
This Technical Session presents a novel approach to wind tunnel testing for single axis trackers (SAT) based on over 700 hours of testing. Today, all manufacturers must ensure the SATs are suitable for all conditions to sustain the ever-growing severity of climate-induced extreme weather conditions.EPCs, developers, and asset owners/operators will walk away with a deeper understanding of how various types of wind forces drive design and performance optimization of trackers, resulting in greater reliability and lower LCOE for utility-solar systems.
