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.
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.
3.4.1. Solar panel energy generation and equipment energy requirement The communities which are devasted by the typhoon experience vast damage to infrastructure and power outages which can go on from a few days to a month.
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.
