Although thermal power generation pollutes the environment,
hydropower generation increases geological disasters,
wind power generation
utilization rate is low, and nuclear power generation safety hazards are serious; but they all have the
advantage of low operating costs, so at present, more than 90% of the world's power comes from thermal power generation, Hydro, wind and nuclear power
[0003] With the increasingly serious energy crisis and environmental
pollution, solar power generation has become the main development direction of
new energy. However, compared with
coal, water and gas power generation, the current solar power generation technology has too high cost, low profit and poor practicability. Therefore how to reduce the cost of solar power generation has become a difficult problem to be solved urgently in the technical field
[0004] The reduction of the cost of solar power generation should be realized from many aspects, among which, the real-time positioning of the solar power generation panel group is a very important aspect. At present, the real-time positioning of the solar power generation panel group mainly has the following problems: 1. The solar power generation panel group The error between the real-time positioning position and the theoretical optimal position is large, and the positioning accuracy is low, which affects the power generation efficiency of the power generation panel group; 2. Each solar power generation panel group is equipped with a set of control devices separately, so the configuration cost is high and the maintenance cost is high. also high
Obviously, the method of using photoelectric tracking to find the
position of the sun is to search for regular targets as irregular targets, which complicates the simple work; in addition, if the sun reappears after being blocked by clouds for several hours in a certain period of time, Then, after the four-quadrant photosensitive sensor determines the
position of the sun, the solar power generation panel group must rotate a large angle in the up, down, left and right directions to complete the tracking of the sun. This process requires a certain amount of time. During this process, if the sun If it is blocked by the cloud again, the solar power generation panel group will stay on the way under the action of the
control unit. There is a certain gap between the stop position of the solar power generation panel group and the blocked sun position. The loss of power generation efficiency is very large; in addition, if any of the four sensors of the four-quadrant photosensitive sensor is blocked by dust and other sundries, the solar power generation panel group will malfunction, which will directly affect the normal operation of the solar power generation equipment.
All of the above lead to low power generation efficiency of photoelectric tracking solar power generation panels
[0006] Program tracking actually overcomes the above-mentioned defects of photoelectric tracking and performs real-time positioning of solar power generation panels according to the sun’s operating laws. to calculate the orbits of the sun and the earth, relative positions, etc., if there is no professional astronomical almanac (the height of the sun at a certain reference point at any time of the year), the calculation is quite complicated, and the non-
noon solar altitude angle is calculated It is more troublesome. In short, the calculation of the sun position at a certain moment can be achieved, and can achieve a certain accuracy, but the continuous calculation and control of the minute by minute will accumulate errors, resulting in large real-time positioning errors of the solar power generation panel group; of course, it is also possible Relatively accurate calculations are performed using non-sun
stars in the Milky Way, such as the Polaris, but the
algorithm is too complex, which makes the
programming investment cost too high, and the step-by-step calculation control will still accumulate large errors, which will eventually lead to the problem of low power generation efficiency.
The automatic tracking technology of photoelectric tracking + program tracking combines the advantages of the two, which improves the positioning accuracy of the solar power generation panel group, thereby improving the power generation efficiency. However, after combining these two complex technical means, Not only increase the configuration cost and operation cost, but also the whole
system is more complicated
