Gestamp is an international group dedicated to the design, development and manufacturing of metal automotive components. Gestamp Renewables, a division of Corporación Gestamp, is an industrial group that operates and supplies components within the renewable energy sector. Gestamp Solar is one of the several companies that nowadays integrate Gestamp Renewables. It is focused on generating solar energy projects that are both ecological and highly profitable, offering tailor-made solutions as required. To date, Gestamp Solar has participated in the development, construction, maintenance and operation of plants with a total capacity of over 400 MW. Thanks to a permanent investment in R&D projects, Gestamp Solar is developing a new supporting structure for solar panels. It has needed an aerodynamic analysis to ensure its functionality, which has been contracted to KeelWit Technology. We have made different CFD 3D analyses, later validated through several wind tunnel tests. As a result of this complete study, Gestamp Solar has obtained relevant information about the operating conditions of this new device under strong...
