Wind Load Analysis

Wind Load Analysis is at the heart of what we do here at our Singapore office here at BroadTech Engineering. It is a specialized form of airflow simulation that focuses on airflow modeling the interaction of airflow on structures.

Wind Load Analysis

Base on your Wind load analysis needs, an evaluation of the maximum force loadings for all possible wind directions can be carried out in order to accurately obtain new design parameters.
In addition, this wind simulation analysis also makes it possible for verified design modifications to be made so as to reduce the aerodynamic footprint of the structures to be analyzed.

Case Study: Wind Load Analysis of Solar Tracker

Solar tracker fields located in windy regions suffer serious damages when winds reach over 10m/s or get fatigue problems due to wind gusts.
The normative does not cover solar trackers fields, therefore complying with it does not cover the effect of real winds or storms on the installed trackers.
The wind analysis study was combined with a FEM analysis to consider further effects, such as wake-induced resonance, engine power required to rotate the trackers, etc.
