Analysis of Deformation and Strength of Solar Module Support under Wind-Wave Load

Abstract

Keywords: Solar module support, Stress, Displacement, Wind load, Wave load. Abstract. Solar energy is one of the most important renewable energy, and it will not cause pollution and damage to the environment, using PV solar energy collection devices to generate electricity for the ship will be expected. When PV module supports are installed on the ship's deck, the wind and wave loads are the main environmental loads for them to bear. Based on fluid-solid coupling analysis and CCS tanker direct calculation rules, the deformation and strength of PV module supports under wind loads in three different wind speeds and wave loads are studied and the requirements of strength and deformation of the PV module support are satisfied. The design of the PV module support in this paper is suitable for marine environment under strong wind loads and wave loads on the deck.
