A coupled FSI and BES framework is proposed to evaluate the structural and energy performance of a building-integrated solar panel system under typhoon strength wind conditions. As shown in Fig. 2, the FSI approach utilises a combination of CFD and FEA tools to model the structural resilience of the building and the PV panel.
The destructive typhoons caused economic and infrastructure damage and have left many devastated communities. The use of solar photovoltaic power is also increasing, and in the event of extended power cuts, it can provide power to the affected communities, particularly during the response and recovery periods.
The use of solar photovoltaic power is also increasing, and in the event of extended power cuts, it can provide power to the affected communities, particularly during the response and recovery periods. However, solar installations are also vulnerable to typhoon-force winds and can suffer extensive damages.
From the results, they concluded that the separation flows around solar panels increased the drag and lift coefficients. Pantua et al. numerically investigated the sustainability of building integrated systems subjected to typhoon-strength wind loads and found that failure could occur at a 45° wind direction.
The FSI simulation was carried out for a typical low-rise building design with solar panels subjected to typhoon-strength approach winds. Different configurations were simulated in BES to predict the building energy demand and optimise the solar photovoltaic energy generation.
A framework based on fluid–structure interaction (FSI) modelling and building energy simulation (BES) was proposed to evaluate roof-mounted solar panels' structural and energy performance. The FSI simulation was carried out for a typical low-rise building design with solar panels subjected to typhoon-strength approach winds.
