Moreover, an increasing number of steel plants find the potential in renewable energy[6,7]. PV develops rapidly in China that the total installed capacity accounted for nearly one third of the
Additionally, the ABAQUS numerical simulation was used to investigate the mechanical characteristics of photovoltaic support joint connections and analyze the causes of structural deformation. Innovative joint connections were proposed to optimize the structural performance of photovoltaic supports.
Enhancing the reliability of photovoltaic structures is essential for achieving sustainable development. This study involved the analysis of a photovoltaic power generation project in Hubei Province to compare differences in the structural loads of photovoltaic supports as outlined in Chinese, American, and European codes.
4.1. Model Establishment To further analyze the deformation of photovoltaic supports, a numerical simulation was conducted using the ABAQUS finite element analysis software, which allows for a more realistic consideration of the connection conditions of components.
All components of the photovoltaic supports were modeled using eight-node linear hexahedral solid elements (C3D8R). The simulation included parameters where two or three bolts were installed at the purlin hangers to investigate the effects of different connection methods on joint deformation; a schematic diagram is shown in Figure 7.
