Analysis and Design of Solar Structures
As the solar industry rises to the forefront in addressing the global energy crisis, it also champions sustainability through clean, renewable energy sources. However, with the rapid growth of this industry, the complexity of solar mounting structures increases significantly. In this webinar, we'll delve into the intricacies of the structural analysis of solar PV mounting structures, its panels and corresponding design consideration. Our goal is to showcase how Bentley's structural solutions help engineers ensuring the integrity, safety, and stability of these vital structures.
In this webinar we will detail:
Efficient modeling techniques for solar mounting structures using STAAD.Pro 2023.
Understanding the impact of wind loads on solar mounting structures.
Design considerations for mounting structures including the cold formed section design.
Buckling Analysis of the custom slender section in PV mounting structure.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling and analyzing solar PV panels mounted on the frame structures.
Foundation design against forces such as uplift using the latest STAAD Foundation Advanced 2023.
Base plate and other connection designs for structural steel framing using RAM Connection.
A quick demonstration using ADINA for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to evaluate the intricate structural response due airflow around solar panels.
Join us as we explore these critical aspects of solar mounting structure design and analysis, ensuring a sustainable and reliable future for solar energy.
