Terrasmart De-Risks Hail Damage With New Tracker Stow Feature
Withstand extreme weather and terrain challenges with cloud-based monitoring and industry-leading ground-mount portfolio
通过基于云的监测和行业领先的地面安装组合解决极端气候和地形挑战
BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Terrasmart is excited to announce the release of a new hail stow feature for its single-axis tracker, TerraTrak. The hail stow capability brings additional risk mitigation functionality to PeakYield, Terrasmart's cloud-based tracker control and monitoring software platform. The hail mitigation system automatically triggers optimum stow position to protect solar assets without requiring operator intervention. Available for both 1P and 2P trackers, the hail stow solution adds to Terrasmart's foundation-agnostic racking portfolio that offers both ground screw and driven piles, designed specifically to perform in the most extreme terrain and weather conditions.
2024年8月20日纽约州水牛城/美通社——Terrasmart很高兴地宣布为单轴跟踪器TerraTrak发布新款冰雹收藏功能。冰雹收藏功能为PeakYield增加了额外的风险缓解功能,PeakYield是Terrasmart的基于云的跟踪器控制和监控软件平台。冰雹缓解系统会自动触发最佳停放位置,以保护太阳能资产,而无需运营商干预。冰雹收藏解决方案可用于1P和2P跟踪器,是Terrasmart的除地螺旋和驱动桩外的基础独立支架组合,专为在最极端的地形和气候条件下表现而设计。
"Project de-risking has, and continues to be, our most significant contribution to the solar industry," says Terrasmart President Ed McKiernan. "Our new hail stow feature adds to our existing array of foundation and racking products that bring unique reliability to unreliable sites."
“项目降低风险是我们对太阳能行业最重要的贡献之一,”Terrasmart总裁Ed McKiernan说。“我们的新款冰雹收藏功能增加了我们现有的基础和支架产品组合,为不可靠的站点带来了独特的可靠性。”
The Terrasmart hail stow solution brings key advantages to asset owners and operators, including:
Terrasmart 的冰雹收藏功能为资产持有人和运营商带来关键优势,包括:
- Automatic stow feature puts trackers into safe position without requiring operator intervention, reducing potential lapses from human factors
- High-tilt stow angle accounts for both wind and hail conditions, eliminating contradicting positions and ensuring a safe tracker position (+/- 50° for 1P and +/- 60° for 2P)
- Real-time, cloud-based weather forecast triggers activate based on industry-leading data from Accuweather
- Auto-stow feature activates 60 minutes before a weather event but timing can be customized to meet owner requirements
- Stow function does not require installing additional hardware or calibration over time
- 自动停放功能可将跟踪器放置在安全位置,无需运营商干预,减少由人为因素引起的潜在失误
- 高倾斜停放角度考虑到风和冰雹条件,消除矛盾位置,确保安全的跟踪器位置(1P为±50°,2P为±60°)
- 基于Accuweather行业领先的数据的实时基于云的天气预报触发器激活
- 自动停放功能在天气事件前60分钟启动,但可根据业主要求进行定制化的时间安排
- 停放功能无需额外安装硬件或随时间进行校准
"Our motto at Terrasmart is to stow early and stow often," says Ashton Vandermark, software solutions lead. "We are adamant about automatically triggering hail protection to avoid instances where manual intervention has not occurred during storms. We are excited about this latest addition to PeakYield's cloud-based functionality and machine-learning intelligence to protect assets."
“我们在Terrasmart的座右铭是早停、常停,”软件解决方案负责人Ashton Vandermark说。“我们坚定地自动触发防冰保护,避免在暴风雨期间未发生手动干预的情况。我们对PeakYield的基于云的功能和机器学习智能来保护资产感到兴奋。”
Hail represents one of the most devastating forms of weather that can impact US solar sites. According to insurance industry reports, hail accounts for less than 2% of solar project insurance claims by volume—but more than 50% of total dollar losses. Forty-year financial exposure models from engineering firm VDE Americas suggest that hail events could result in up to $13 million in damage at 0° tilt, compared to only $620,000 at 60°.
冰雹是可能影响美洲太阳能站点的最具破坏性天气形式之一。根据保险业的报告,冰雹占太阳能项目保险索赔成交量不到2%,却占总损失的50%以上。工程公司VDE Americas制作的40年金融风险模型表明,冰雹事件可能导致0°倾斜时高达1300万美元的损失,而60°时仅为62万美元。
Terrasmart's software team will be at RE+ in Anaheim September 10-12 in booth #D30011 to give live demos of PeakYield as well as discuss hail stow and other TerraTrak features. For more information on Terrasmart's portfolio and its PeakYield monitoring platform visit Terrasmart.com.
