Arctech, a leading global manufacturer and solution provider of photovoltaic trackers, has recently welcomed two esteemed professors, Mikel Ogueta Gutiérrez and Omar Gómez Ortega, from the Technical University of Madrid in Spain. Through this collaboration, the renowned Wind Tunnel Laboratory at the university aims to deepen its cooperation with Arctech, pushing the boundaries of scientific research in the field.

Professor Gutiérrez is an internationally recognized expert in wind tunnel studies, with a vast portfolio of over 70 projects encompassing building aerodynamics, wind and solar energy, bridge aerodynamics, and aeroelasticity. Notably, he has spearheaded numerous wind tunnel experiments on photovoltaic trackers in Spain. On the other hand, Professor Ortega contributes his expertise as a member of both the National Association for Wind Engineering (ANIV) and the International Association for Wind Engineering (IAWE). With an impressive track record spanning over 30 projects worldwide, he has played a significant role in advancing wind tunnel engineering in civil engineering, wind engineering, and aerospace domains.

Arctech firmly believes that innovation serves as the fundamental driving force behind enterprise growth, customer value, and industry progress. As a result, the company actively seeks collaborations with renowned universities, fostering the implementation and transformation of scientific and technological achievements while accelerating the modernization of the photovoltaic industry chain.

In a groundbreaking development in 2021, Arctech became the sole photovoltaic enterprise in the world to establish its own wind tunnel laboratory. The Arctech Wind Tunnel Laboratory excels in simulating real-world environments and conducting tests across five critical stages: static, dynamic, CFD stability, aeroelasticity, and Aero Plus. By leveraging precise test data and structural calculations, the laboratory ensures accurate aerodynamic information on the solar tracking system, thereby guaranteeing its stability.

In 2022, Arctech further strengthened its research capabilities by establishing the Numerical Wind Tunnel CFD Calculation Center. This cutting-edge facility employs various discrete mathematical methods and computer simulations, selecting suitable air turbulence mathematical models to conduct numerical experiments and in-depth fluid mechanics analysis. By doing so, Arctech develops an intelligent design platform for photovoltaic structural systems in complex terrains, ultimately enhancing its product solutions.

Arctech’s commitment to advancing tracking technology has resulted in the groundbreaking development of multi-point parallel drive tracking technology. This innovation has propelled solar trackers and solutions from single-point drive systems to multi-point drive systems. Additionally, Arctech has exclusively developed the 3D Geographic Information System (GIS) + Numerical Wind Tunnel CFD Simulation application technology. This pioneering approach provides a vital theoretical foundation and technical support for optimizing the reliability and structural design of trackers in complex terrains.

As a testament to its dedication, the Arctech Global R&D Center Laboratory has been granted the Photovoltaic Tracker TMP Laboratory qualification by TUV SUD and holds the prestigious laboratory accreditation certificate issued by CNAS.
