Wind Load Analysis of Optimized Solar Farm Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

The Current paper deals with the research conducted on the shape optimization for the Solar panel. Ideal scenarios are considered to see the behavior of the flow over the Optimized Shape. A concept of solar farm is considered where array of optimized shape solar panels are placed for wind load analysis for considerations of real time scenarios. Wind velocity is assumed to be fixed and following conditions are simulated for wind velocity of 5 m/s and 25m/s i.e., low wind and high wind conditions both from front and back are simulated to see the force acting on the panel faces.
