Abstract
The dish solar thermal power generation system is widely used due to the high efficiency. The mechanism of the whole system must meet stringent structural deformation requirements. In this work, the dish concentrator model is developed by the CFD software STAR-CCM+ and the finite element software of ABAQUS, respectively. The pressure fields obtained in the STAR-CCM+ environment are mapped to the ABAQUS model. The validated finite element (FE) model is employed to predict the amplitude and frequency of the vibration. The effects of different pitch angle, azimuthangle and wind velocity on the amplitude and frequency of the vibration are also considered in the process of calculation. The simulated calculation of fluid-structure coupling model is used for the analysis of harmonic response of four hinge nodes vibration. The vibration period of sinusoidal wind excited is 2 s. The results show that the vibration of the dish concentrator will occur with the sinusoidal wind load and reaches the maximum in a short time, then gradually becomes flatter. Moreover, the change of the height angle has a little influence on the modal frequencies of the system and the modal natural frequency is only changed a little when the wind load increases. Thus, the information obtained from the FE model can serve as a reference for subsequent analyses mechanism design such as wind-induced response dynamics analysis.
