pv magazine Webinar | Smart tracker design enabled by advanced testing

About This Webinar

Initiative partner: Arctech Solar

Discover how innovative new wind tunnel testing methodology is taking the guess work out of tracker design, and ensuring systems are designed to withstand heavy wind loads. Join our webinar, in partnership with Arctech Solar, who have developed an advanced method of wind tunnel testing and analysis, which adds allowing it to design tracker systems to reduce the risks posed by high or sustained wind events.

This new methodology with its advantages will explained by wind tunnel testing expert David Banks, a principal at CPP in Colorado, Bernd Zwingmann, a senior engineer at Germany’s SBP and Arctech Solar’s global director of engineering Pedro Magalhães. While standard wind tunnel testing can leave some trackers vulnerable to torsional galloping and the resultant module and structural damage, Arctech Solar engineers claim that its new methodology delivers certainty and confidence to owners, developers and investors.

Join our pv magazine webinar to find out about Arctech Solar’s groundbreaking wind tunnel process, and the importance of designing tracking arrays that are resilient in the face of high winds

Webinar Content:
• An explanation of the dangers posed by high and sustained winds to single axis trackers
• A presentation of the new wind testing methodology, its advantages, and how it can be applied to best design a tracking array for sites where high winds may present challenges
• An independent analysis of the new wind testing methodology
• First hand experience as to the importance of designing tracking arrays that are resilient in the face of high winds

Be part of the conversation!
Questions may be submitted beforehand and during the webinar through a chat window for a fully engaging and interactive experience.
