Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic data acquisition, and in particular to a photovoltaic system parameter calculation method and device. Background Art
[0002] Calculating radiation and analyzing shadows for photovoltaic systems are core components of power plant design and energy generation forecasting, but existing technologies still have significant limitations in refining these calculations. First, geometric modeling of shadow dynamics is insufficient. Most methods rely on two-dimensional projections or fixed-row spacing assumptions, failing to account for the dynamic coupling between the PV array's tilt angle and row spacing. This leads to distorted calculations of overlapping shadow areas between adjacent rows. In regions with large tilt angles or at low latitudes, traditional methods overestimate shadow areas by 20% to 30%, resulting in a waste of land resources. Second, most radiation models ignore or simplify ground-reflected radiation, failing to quantify the difference in ground reflection between shadowed and unshaded areas. In scenarios with high reflectivity, such as snow and sand, ignoring the reflected component can result in errors exceeding 8% in total radiation calculations. Furthermore, existing tools typically treat sun position, shadowing, and radiation decomposition as separate modules, lacking dynamic multi-physics coupling. This leads to distorted radiation predictions at the edges of the array, making power plant layout optimization reliant on trial-and-error, making it difficult to achieve a global optimal balance between power generation efficiency and land use.
[0003] The root cause of these problems lies in the fact that existing technologies use static models, while radiation calculation and shadow analysis of photovoltaic systems require real-time linkage. Secondly, they fail to integrate geographic parameters, structural parameters, and radiation physics models into a unified framework. Furthermore, existing methods rely on empirical assumptions rather than derivations based on geometric and optical theory, failing to comprehensively consider the following factors:
[0004] (1) Dynamic changes in the sun's position over time and geographical location;
[0005] (2) The impact of panel tilt and spacing on shadow overlap;
[0006] (3) Contribution of ground reflected radiation to photovoltaic panels. Summary of the Invention

It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other in any manner.
[0064] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a photovoltaic system parameter calculation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic system parameter calculation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0065] Step S1: Obtaining the structural parameters and layout parameters of the photovoltaic panel, and calculating the width of the shadow formed by the photovoltaic panel on the ground according to the height of the photovoltaic panel and the solar altitude angle;
[0066] The arrangement parameters include the row spacing, the height of the photovoltaic panels and the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panels. The row spacing is the projection distance between the upper edges of two adjacent photovoltaic panels on the ground.
[0067] Step S2: If it is determined that the row spacing is greater than or equal to the shadow width, the total shadow area of the photovoltaic array is calculated based on the structural parameters, the layout parameters and the solar altitude angle.
[0068] Step S3: Calculate the total radiation received by the photovoltaic panel based on the photovoltaic panel inclination angle, solar radiation, solar incidence angle and ground reflectivity, and determine the total shadow area and the total radiation as photovoltaic system parameters.
[0069] In the above step S1, the device obtains the structural parameters and layout parameters of the photovoltaic panel, and calculates the width of the shadow formed by the photovoltaic panel on the ground according to the height of the photovoltaic panel and the solar altitude angle;
[0070] The arrangement parameters include row spacing, the height of the photovoltaic panels, and the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panels. The row spacing is the projected distance between the upper edges of two adjacent photovoltaic panels on the ground. The device can be a computer device that executes the method.

The solar altitude angle and solar azimuth angle can be calculated based on a pre-established solar position model.
[0071] The specific instructions are as follows:
[0072] The declination angle δ is calculated based on the annual cumulative number of days n. The specific formula is as follows:
[0073]
[0074] Where n is the day of the year. For example, if it is January 1, 2025, the value is 1.
[0075] Calculate the solar altitude angle α and solar azimuth angle γ using the local latitude φ and hour angle h. h = (solar time - 12) × 15°. Correct the solar time based on the accuracy and time zone.
[0076] sinα=sinφsinδ+cosφcosδcosh.
[0077]
[0078] Traditional solar position models suffer from simplification flaws. They often use fixed-date or average solar trajectory data, failing to dynamically calculate solar altitude and azimuth angles based on latitude, longitude, and real-time parameters. This can lead to amplified errors in high-latitude regions or during seasonal transitions. Furthermore, some commercial software ignores time zone and true solar time corrections when calculating hour angles, further introducing systematic biases.
[0079] The specific calculation process is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the time t can be specifically solar time.
[0080] like Figure 3As shown, the structural parameters of the photovoltaic panels may include a photovoltaic panel length L of each photovoltaic panel and a photovoltaic panel width W of each photovoltaic panel, assuming that all photovoltaic panels have the same size.
[0081] The arrangement parameters of the photovoltaic panels may include the photovoltaic panel inclination angle β of each photovoltaic panel and the photovoltaic panel height ΔH of each photovoltaic panel, wherein ΔH=H top -H bottom , the details are as follows:
[0082] H top H is the vertical height of the upper edge of the photovoltaic panel from the ground. bottom It is the vertical height of the lower edge of the photovoltaic panel from the ground.
[0083] Photovoltaic panels can be arranged in rows, and the row spacing refers to the row spacing between photovoltaic panels arranged in one row, that is, Figure 3 The line spacing D in .
[0084] The step of calculating the width of the shadow formed by the photovoltaic panel on the ground according to the height of the photovoltaic panel and the solar altitude angle includes:
[0085] The shadow width is calculated according to the following formula:
[0086]
[0087] Among them, W shadow is the shadow width.
[0088] In step S2, if the device determines that the row spacing is greater than or equal to the shadow width, the device calculates the total shadow area of the photovoltaic array based on the structural parameters, the layout parameters, and the solar altitude angle. The structural parameters include the length of the photovoltaic panels, and the layout parameters also include the number of rows of photovoltaic panels in the photovoltaic array. Referring to the above description, taking a row of photovoltaic arrays as an example, i.e., a row of photovoltaic panels, the product of the number of photovoltaic panel rows and the number of photovoltaic panels arranged in a row constitutes the photovoltaic array, i.e., the number of photovoltaic panel rows represents the number of rows in the photovoltaic array.
[0089] Accordingly, the total shadow area of the photovoltaic array is calculated based on the structural parameters, the layout parameters and the solar altitude angle, including:

[0091] The shadow length is calculated according to the following formula:
[0092] L shadow =L·|cos(Δε)|
[0093] Δε=|α-β|
[0094] Among them, L shadow is the shadow length, L is the length of the photovoltaic panel, α is the solar altitude angle, and β is the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel. shadow It corresponds to the length of the shadow formed by a row of photovoltaic arrays on the ground. Similarly, W shadow It corresponds to the width of the shadow formed by a row of photovoltaic arrays on the ground.
[0095] The total shadow area is calculated based on the number of rows of photovoltaic panels, the shadow length and the shadow width. When the photovoltaic array is a single row and the shadow width is less than or equal to the row spacing, the shadow area A of the photovoltaic panel is shadow Calculated according to the following formula:
[0096] A shadow =L shadow W shadow
[0097] The total shadow area is calculated according to the following formula:
[0098] N×L shadow ×W shadow
[0099] Wherein, N is the number of rows of photovoltaic panels.
[0100] The structural parameters also include the width of the photovoltaic panel; accordingly, the photovoltaic system parameter calculation method also includes:
[0101] If it is determined that the line spacing is less than the shadow width, the total shadow area is calculated according to the following formula:
[0102] W shadow -(N-1)(D+W·cosβ)
[0103] Among them, W shadow is the shadow width, N is the number of photovoltaic panel rows in the photovoltaic array, D is the row spacing, W is the photovoltaic panel width, and β is the photovoltaic panel inclination angle. Figure 3 , where the total shadow area corresponds to the “effective shadow length” and the number of PV panel rows in the PV array corresponds to the “number of overlapping rows”.
[0104] Figure 3 Figure a in the figure illustrates the geometric relationship of the shadow projection of the photovoltaic panel. Figure 3Figure b shows the key parameters such as panel height and shadow projection length in the left view. Figure 3 Figure c in the figure further explains the judgment criteria and correction methods for shadow overlap.
[0105] In step S3, the device calculates the total radiation received by the photovoltaic panel based on the photovoltaic panel inclination angle, solar radiation, solar incidence angle, and ground reflectivity, and determines the total shadow area and the total radiation as photovoltaic system parameters. The solar incidence angle θ can be expressed and calculated according to the following formula:
[0106] cosθ=sinαcosβ+cosαsinβcos(γ-ψ)
[0107] Among them, γ is the solar azimuth angle, and ψ is the azimuth angle of the photovoltaic panel (usually 180 degrees for the south direction).
[0108] The solar radiation includes direct solar radiation and scattered solar radiation. Accordingly, the total radiation received by the photovoltaic panel is calculated based on the photovoltaic panel inclination, solar radiation, solar incidence angle and ground reflectivity, including:
[0109] like Figure 4 As shown, the direct solar radiation received by the photovoltaic panel is calculated according to the solar incident angle and the direct solar radiation; the direct solar radiation reaching the photovoltaic panel is calculated according to the following formula G direct,tilt :
[0110] G direct,tilt =G direct max(cosθ,0)

[0113]
[0114] Among them, G diffuse The solar scattered radiation amount can be calculated according to the existing isotropic model.
[0115] The ground reflected radiation amount that the photovoltaic panel can receive is calculated based on the ground reflectivity, the photovoltaic panel inclination, the direct solar radiation and the scattered solar radiation; the radiation amount reflected from the ground to the photovoltaic panel is calculated based on the following formula, that is, the reflection contribution G reflected,tilt:

[0123] Corresponding to the radiation reaching the ground and being a non-shadow area, the ground radiation G in the non-shadow area is calculated according to the following formula ground,non-shadow :
[0124] G ground,non-shadow =G direct +G diffuse .
[0125] Corresponding to the radiation reaching the ground and being in the shadow area, the ground radiation G in the shadow area is calculated according to the following formula ground,shadow :
[0126] G ground,shadow =G diffuse .
[0127] Corresponding to the radiation reflected from the ground and in the non-shadow area, the ground radiation G in the non-shadow area is calculated according to the following formula reflected,non-shadow :
[0128] G reflected,non-shadow =(G direct +G diffuse )·ρ.
[0129] Corresponding to the radiation reflected from the ground and in the shadow area, the ground radiation G in the shadow area is calculated according to the following formula reflected,shadow :
[0130] G reflected,shadow =Gdiffuse ·ρ.
[0131] like Figure 5 As shown, the description is as follows:
[0132] The entire measurement space is divided into two non-overlapping areas: the shadow area and the non-shadow area. The shadow area is rectangular with a width of W and a length of L. There is only diffuse radiation component G in the shadow area. diffuse , does not receive any direct light, and the light characteristics are completely determined by the ambient scattered light and the diffuse reflection characteristics of the photovoltaic panel material; there is also a direct light radiation component G in the non-shadow area direct and diffuse radiation component G diffuse , totaling G direct +G diffuse , the area receives direct illumination from the light source and ambient scattered light; then a reflected radiation measurement mechanism is set up to capture the radiation characteristics in the two areas, and measurements are made inside the shadow area and to the right of the non-shadow area; then the radiation values of the shadow area and the non-shadow area are measured and recorded, and the radiation values of the shadow area and the non-shadow area are compared by G diffuse With G direct +G diffuse The numerical difference of the direct lighting component G is calculated direct Finally, according to the measurement results, the formula λ=(G direct +G diffuse ) / G diffuse Calculate the illumination coefficient λ to assess the contribution of direct illumination to the overall radiation.
