This paper presents an optimisation methodology that takes into account the most important design variables of single-axis photovoltaic plants, including irregular land shape, size and configuration of the mounting system, row spacing, and operating periods (for backtracking mode, limited range of motion, and normal tracking mode).
Key findings are as follows. Dynamic characteristics of tracking photovoltaic support systems obtained through field modal testing at various inclinations, revealing three torsional modes within the 2.9–5.0 Hz frequency range, accompanied by relatively small modal damping ratios ranging from 1.07 % to 2.99 %.
Through processing and analyzing the measured modal data of the tracking photovoltaic support system with Donghua software, the dynamic characteristic parameters of the tracking photovoltaic support system could be obtained, including frequencies, vibration modes and damping ratio.
The mounting system configuration used in the optimal layout is the one with the best levelised cost of energy efficiency, 1.09. The presented optimisation methodology can be utilised to facilitate the optimal design of commercial photovoltaic plants with single-axis trackers.
