Description

Dispositivo para la prevención de daños ocasionados por el viento en seguidores solares.Damage prevention device caused by wind in solar trackers.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un dispositivo para la prevención de daños ocasionados por el viento en seguidores solares, cuya finalidad es evidentemente la de evitar que se originen desperfectos o daños en los seguidores solares cuando se producen fuertes vientos.The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a device for the prevention of wind damage in followers solar, whose purpose is obviously to prevent cause damage or damage to solar trackers when They produce strong winds.

El dispositivo es aplicable en aquellos sistemas en los que el movimiento del seguidor solar se realiza mediante elementos hidráulicos, por lo que el objeto de la invención no es otro que el de actuar sobre dichos elementos hidráulicos para producir la activación de éstos en caso de fuertes vientos y dispongan el seguidor solar en horizontal, a fin de conseguir que la incidencia del viento sea mínima.The device is applicable in those systems in which the movement of the solar tracker is done by hydraulic elements, so that the object of the invention is not other than acting on said hydraulic elements to produce their activation in case of strong winds and arrange the solar tracker horizontally, in order to get the incidence of wind is minimal.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Actualmente, la tendencia en las instalaciones de energía fotovoltáica, de forma cada vez más frecuente, es colocar los paneles en seguidores solares en lugar de llevar a cabo el montaje en instalaciones fijas orientada al sol. Como sea que la potencia de éstas es en principio proporcional al coseno del ángulo formado por la perpendicular a la superficie del panel y a la dirección panel-sol, los seguidores al orientar hacia el sol consiguen en cada momento la máxima potencia aprovechable.Currently, the trend in facilities of photovoltaic energy, more and more frequently, is place the panels on solar trackers instead of carrying out installation in fixed installations oriented to the sun. However the power of these is in principle proportional to the cosine of the angle formed by the perpendicular to the surface of the panel and the panel-sun direction, followers when targeting towards the sun they get maximum power at all times usable

Para prevenir los efectos de vientos fuerte o incluso huracanados se hace necesario colocar anemómetros, de forma que cuando el viento supera una velocidad de seguridad se pone en marcha una acción de emergencia en el sistema de movimiento del seguidor, que actúa sobre el mismo de forma que los paneles queden en posición horizontal, pues cerca del suelo la dirección del viento es sensiblemente también horizontal y de esta forma la resistencia al viento es la menor posible, evitando así posibles daños o la rotura de determinadas partes o elementos de la instalación.To prevent the effects of strong winds or even hurricanes it is necessary to place anemometers, so  that when the wind exceeds a safety speed it is set to marches an emergency action in the movement system of the follower, which acts on it so that the panels are in a horizontal position, because the direction of the wind is also substantially horizontal and in this way the wind resistance is the least possible, thus avoiding possible damage or breakage of certain parts or elements of the installation.

Pues bien, aunque los sistemas referidos y basados en el concepto referido con anterioridad, resultan eficaces funcionalmente, sin embargo presentan una serie de inconvenientes que pueden resumirse en los siguientes:Well, although the referred systems and based on the concept referred to above, they are effective functionally, however they present a series of drawbacks which can be summarized in the following:

--
No es posible realizar cálculos aerodinámicos exactos, ya que las formas del seguidor no se parecen en nada a perfiles normalizados, así como que los datos que obtuviesen de un ensayo en túnel aerodinámico diferirían de las condiciones en campo, donde es imposible simular las turbulencias de la orografía de cada campo en concreto. En todo caso, los cálculos son siempre orientativos y obligan a reducir la velocidad de emergencia, con el consiguiente perjuicio energético.It is not possible to perform accurate aerodynamic calculations, since the forms of the follower do not resemble standard profiles at all, so like the data they got from a tunnel test aerodynamics would differ from field conditions where it is impossible to simulate the turbulence of the orography of each field in  concrete. In any case, the calculations are always indicative and force to reduce the emergency speed, with the consequent energy damage

--
En aquellos casos en que la dirección del viento sea paralela a los paneles solares, el sistema se pondrá en horizontal aunque ello no sea necesario, reduciendo el rendimiento energético.In those cases in which the wind direction is parallel to the solar panels, the system will be horizontal although it does not as necessary, reducing energy efficiency.

--
Incluso en el caso de instalar un anemómetro por seguidor solar, existe el riesgo de torbellinos verticales producidos por diferencias térmicas, que de atacar a la superficie del seguidor en uno de sus extremos puede no ser detectado por el anemómetro, lo que produciría un par o torsión grande por carga simétrica que daría lugar a serios desperfectos en el seguidor solar.Even in the case of installing a anemometer by solar tracker, there is a risk of whirlpools verticals produced by thermal differences, which attack the follower surface at one end may not be detected by the anemometer, which would produce a torque or torque large by symmetrical load that would lead to serious damage in The solar tracker.

En base al dispositivo referido se consigue una serie de ventajas entre las que pueden destacarse las siguientes:Based on the referred device, a series of advantages among which the following:

1°) Ahorro económico ya que el coste de un presostato es inferior al de un anemómetro.1st) Economic savings since the cost of a Pressure switch is lower than an anemometer.

2°) Mayor vida útil del sistema, al no existir partes móviles que giran constantemente siempre que exista viento.2nd) Longer system life, as it does not exist moving parts that rotate constantly whenever there is wind.

3°) Mayor fiabilidad.3rd) Greater reliability.
