Mountainous areas usually have relatively abundant solar energy resources and relatively low land costs, which makes the investment in photovoltaic power generation in mountainous areas have significant economic and environmental benefits. On the one hand, mountain photovoltaic power generation can effectively utilize unused land and improve the diversity and stability of energy supply; on the other hand, it helps reduce dependence on traditional energy, reduce carbon emissions, and promote green and low-carbon development.

[0003] However, there are many challenges and problems when installing photovoltaic panels on mountains for power generation. First, the mountain terrain is complex and changeable, with different slopes and orientations, which directly affects the choice of the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panels. An inappropriate tilt angle will cause the photovoltaic panels to fail to receive solar radiation to the greatest extent, thereby reducing the power generation efficiency. Secondly, there are usually many trees in mountainous areas, which will cast shadows at different times, blocking the photovoltaic panels, affecting the daylight rate, and further affecting the power generation efficiency.

[0004] Specifically, the complexity of mountain terrain makes it difficult to standardize the layout of photovoltaic panels, and each photovoltaic panel may need to be adjusted in a personalized tilt angle; and tree shading is a dynamic problem that needs to consider multiple factors such as season and time.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, and which provides an optimization method for selecting the site and inclination angle of photovoltaic panels in mountainous terrain, including: Figure 1 As shown:

[0028] S1. Collect terrain data and tree data, and construct a three-dimensional terrain model and a three-dimensional tree model.

[0029] The specific method of constructing a three-dimensional terrain model includes using multi-sensor equipment carried by drones to collect data, and using ground or airborne lidar systems to perform high-precision terrain scanning to obtain terrain elevation data, terrain texture data, terrain slope and aspect data, geological structure data, and hydrological data.

[0030] Terrain texture data includes surface features of soil, rock, and vegetation.

[0031] Geological structure data include structure and lithology data of strata.

[0032] Hydrological data include the distribution characteristics of rivers, streams and waterlogged areas.

[0033] The collected data is preprocessed, and a digital elevation model is generated based on the preprocessed terrain elevation data to express the undulating changes of the terrain. The terrain texture data is mapped to the digital elevation model to form a terrain surface, and the mountainous features of the terrain in the digital elevation model are extracted.

[0037] The defoliation period model constructs a tree model with no leaves or few leaves according to the morphology of trees during the defoliation period, and adjusts the morphology and distribution of trunks and branches.

[0038] The growing season model builds a tree model full of leaves based on the tree's morphology during the growing season, and adjusts the shape, size, distribution and density of the leaves.

[0039] S2. Acquire astronomical data in the mountainous terrain area where the photovoltaic panels are located, perform solar trajectory simulation, and perform shadow calculation based on the constructed three-dimensional terrain model and three-dimensional tree model and the simulated solar trajectory curve.

[0040] The simulation of the solar trajectory specifically includes obtaining the precise geographic coordinates of the mountain photovoltaic power station, including longitude, latitude and altitude, obtaining the astronomical parameters corresponding to the geographic coordinates including the solar declination and hour angle, determining the simulation time range, and starting the model.

[0041] The declination angle reflects the change in the position of the sun's direct point on the equator, and the hour angle reflects the angle of the sun relative to the local meridian. Based on the declination angle, hour angle and local latitude, the sun's altitude angle and azimuth are calculated to determine the sun's position.

Based on the blocking situation, determine the specific position and range of the shadow, including the shape, size and depth of the shadow.

[0045] Calculate the intensity of the shadow area, that is, the degree to which the light is blocked, which is represented by the attenuation coefficient of the light.

[0046] Considering the dynamic changes of the sun's trajectory, the position and property changes of the shadow at different time points are calculated.

[0047] Taking into account the seasonal changes of trees, the leaf fall period model and the growing period model provide basic parameters, and the shadow calculation parameters are adjusted to reflect the shadow characteristics of different seasons.

[0048] The shadows produced by multiple trees are superimposed to form an overall shadow effect, and the terrain shadows and tree shadows are merged to form a comprehensive shadow distribution map.

[0049] S3. Evaluate the shadow distribution map obtained by shadow calculation, determine the location of the photovoltaic panels and the tilt adjustment angle, and output the results through a visualization system.

[0051] The expected power generation is compared with the minimum power generation efficiency threshold. The location above the threshold is used as the final installation location of the photovoltaic panel. If the location is below the threshold, the photovoltaic panel deployment plan is abandoned.

[0052] The shadow changes and photovoltaic panel characteristics of the final installation location in different seasons are analyzed to calculate the optimal working inclination angle for each period.

[0053] The three-dimensional layout of mountain terrain, trees and photovoltaic panels is displayed using three-dimensional graphics technology. The shadow position, range and intensity are calibrated for each pre-deployment location of the photovoltaic panel, and the shadow data of different time periods are obtained by dragging the time axis.

[0054] Each pre-deployment position is marked with whether the final deployment is to be carried out. If the final deployment is determined, the optimal working inclination angle in different time periods is given.
