ecoResilience

Subcategory (under Clean Energy): Cross Cutting
Technology Readiness Level (TRL): TRL 4 - Early prototype
Technology Outline (Process Description)

The ecoResilience tool focuses on the development of the cyclone resistant support structures for both ground-mounted solar PV arrays and wind turbine systems to provide sustainable energy through continuous harvesting of solar photovoltaic and wind energy at high wind and cyclone prone coastal areas. In these technologies, a small modifications/components are incorporated with the support structures to reduce aerodynamic wind loads during extreme wind velocities which subsequently prevent damage of wind harvesting systems and its structures

Salient Features/Advantages

  • Development of cyclone-resilient support structures for solar photovoltaic and wind energy systems
  • Minimize wind loads on support structures and moments at the floor
  • Maximum exploitation of available wind and solar energy
  • Innovations to reduce loads on structures and increase the shelf life of energy harvesting systems
  • development subsystems/components with maximum locally available materials and manpower

Key Outcomes

  • Provide sustainable energy system at high wind (hills & mountains) and cyclone prone areas
  • Prevent damage of energy harvestings systems (solar panels & blades) and support Provide Eco- resilient support for sustainable energy.
  • Pseudo-continuous operation of energy harvesting system by avoiding damage & replacement of sub-systems
  • Addition few passive components and increase in shelf life
  • Reduction of infrastructural, operation and maintenance cost
