Solar Farm Design: Wind Load Optimization with ArchiWind
This solar farm case study in China showcases how ArchiWind’s topographic wind simulation helps optimize panel structure design on mountainous terrain. By mapping local wind acceleration coefficients (C₀/Kₜ), ArchiWind enables differentiated frame sizing, reducing overengineering and improving bid competitiveness. This CFD-based tool empowers engineers to identify wind-exposed and sheltered zones, export wind-load data, and justify structural choices enhancing both performance and pricing precision for solar projects in complex topographies.
