[0013] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0015] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0016] Example 1: This example is a method for monitoring water level and assisting in construction scheduling for an intertidal photovoltaic project at sea, specifically including the following steps: S100: Timely acquire water level monitoring data from the water level monitoring network, which has multiple water level sensors installed in the construction area of ​​the photovoltaic project.

[0017] This embodiment deploys multiple water level sensors in the construction area based on geological survey data (such as topographic elevation and geological stability) to form a dynamic monitoring grid. The sensor deployment points are determined according to the geological survey data to ensure coverage of key areas of the intertidal topography (such as low-lying areas and areas with abrupt slope changes).

[0018] S200: Based on water level monitoring data from the water level monitoring network, a water level distribution map of the entire field is generated to identify low-lying areas prone to water accumulation. The water level distribution map includes the location of each water level sensor and the water level data collected by the sensors at each location.

[0019] S300. Based on the water level monitoring data of k+1 consecutive times between the current time t and time tk, the FFT algorithm is used to extract the tidal periodicity characteristics of the corresponding time period of the k+1 consecutive times.

[0020] S400: Input the water level monitoring data and tidal periodicity characteristics from multiple consecutive time periods into a trained LSTM neural network-based tidal prediction model to predict the water level change trend within a preset time period.

[0021] S500: Based on the water level change trend within a preset future time period, construction schedule is determined.

[0022] In this embodiment, during material transportation, transport ships are scheduled to arrive fully loaded with materials during the high tide window to ensure sufficient channel depth. During low tide, vehicles are organized to transfer materials on the mudflats or near the shore. For construction, manpower and machinery are concentrated during low tide, as the work surface is more exposed, facilitating precise operation. During high tide, the focus is on material transportation. Simultaneously, flexible time is reserved to cope with sudden severe weather, tidal anomalies, etc., ensuring orderly and efficient construction throughout the process and promoting the steady completion of the offshore photovoltaic project. For example, during on-site piling construction, at high tide (tide level > 0.5 meters), piling machines and excavators begin to return to shore; at tide level > 1 meter, transport ships begin transporting construction materials to the offshore work site. At low tide (tide level < 1.5 meters), excavators begin to go out to sea to the work site; at tide level < 1 meter, transport ships begin to return to shore.

[0023] Example 2: This example is an auxiliary device for water level monitoring and construction scheduling in an intertidal photovoltaic project at sea, comprising: The data acquisition module is used to periodically acquire water level monitoring data from the water level monitoring network, which has multiple water level sensors installed in the construction area of ​​the photovoltaic project. The heat map generation module is used to generate a full-field water level distribution map based on water level monitoring data from the water level monitoring network.

The construction scheduling module is used to schedule construction based on the water level change trend within a preset time period.

[0025] Example 4: This example is a water level monitoring and construction scheduling auxiliary system, including: water level sensor, data acquisition module, wireless transmission module and data processing module, etc.

[0026] In this example, multiple water level sensors are deployed in the construction area based on geological survey data (such as topographic elevation and geological stability) to form a water level monitoring network. The data acquisition module collects water level data from each sensor in real time, with an adjustable sampling frequency (e.g., 1-30 minutes / time). The wireless transmission module uploads the water level data collected by the data acquisition module to the data processing module via LoRa or 5G. In this embodiment, the data processing module has a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the processor. When the computer program is executed, it implements the steps of the method for monitoring water level and assisting in construction scheduling of the marine intertidal photovoltaic project.
