Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of monitoring, and particularly to an operation monitoring system for a photovoltaic power station. Background Art

[0002] A photovoltaic power station refers to a power generation system that utilizes solar energy and consists of special materials such as crystalline silicon panels, inverters and other electronic components, and is connected to the power grid and transmits electricity to the power grid. Photovoltaic power stations are currently the green power development energy projects with the greatest encouragement from the state, and can be divided into independent power generation systems with batteries and grid-connected power generation systems without batteries. Solar power generation is divided into solar thermal power generation and photovoltaic power generation. At present, the commercialized solar electric energy refers to solar photovoltaic power generation. When a photovoltaic power station is working, there are often some potential safety hazards, which may lead to dangerous things happening, and at the same time, it is very difficult for people to clearly understand the working state of the power station.

[0003] The existing monitoring system for the working state of a photovoltaic power station only monitors whether the photovoltaic power station is working, and cannot monitor the state of the power station at different times. At the same time, it cannot make corresponding analyses for abnormal actions of the working state of the power station, and there are some potential safety hazards.

[0004] At the same time, the monitoring data of a photovoltaic power station needs to be kept confidential. In the prior art, the confidentiality of data transmission is poor, which is likely to cause data loss and leakage, resulting in the interception or tampering of monitoring information.

[0005] For example, Chinese Patent CN201811011878.X discloses a monitoring system for a photovoltaic power station based on the MQTT protocol. An operation command is sent to the intelligent gateway of the photovoltaic power station through a cloud platform to achieve the control of power station equipment. Users can not only log in to the MQTT client to subscribe to the messages sent by the server through them, view the current operating status and fault information of the photovoltaic power station, and evaluate the operating status of the photovoltaic power station by analyzing the historical fault information. When a fault occurs, the operation and maintenance personnel can repair it in time to avoid accidents; however, the monitoring system of the photovoltaic power station in this application cannot ensure the security and confidentiality of data transmission, resulting in easy interception and leakage of information. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention mainly solves the problem that there are potential safety hazards in the transmission process of monitoring information of a photovoltaic power station in the existing technology; provides an operation monitoring system for a photovoltaic power station, encrypts the transmission of monitoring information of the photovoltaic power station, and performs information verification to ensure the integrity and security of the information.

[0027] Embodiment: An operation monitoring system for a photovoltaic power station, as Figure 1 shown, includes a data acquisition module 1, an environmental monitoring module 2, a sniffer 3, a server 4 and a mobile monitoring terminal 5. The data acquisition module, the environmental monitoring module and the sniffer are all installed in the photovoltaic power station. The data acquisition module, the environmental monitoring module and the sniffer are all connected to the server. The sniffer intercepts the transmission data of the data acquisition module and the environmental monitoring module. The mobile monitoring terminal is provided with a display interface and is connected to the server.

[0028] The data acquisition module is used to collect the data information of the photovoltaic power station in real time. After the data is encrypted by the encryption module, the data information of the photovoltaic power station is transmitted to the server in the form of the first data packet. The data acquisition module includes a first temperature sensor, a voltage acquisition module, a current acquisition module, a maintenance information memory, a sound wave generator and a recording device. Among them, the first temperature sensor is used to collect the temperature information of the photovoltaic equipment, the voltage acquisition module and the current acquisition module are used to collect the power generation power of the photovoltaic power station. After each maintenance of the photovoltaic equipment, the maintenance personnel record the maintenance information in the maintenance information memory, and predict the service life of the equipment through the maintenance information, equipment signals and equipment usage duration. A rotating component is arranged at the installation part of the photovoltaic module. The rotating component drives the photovoltaic module to rotate. The rotating component is equipped with a network time synchronization device. The rotating component is controlled to rotate through the network time synchronization device, so that the photovoltaic module rotates with the movement of the sun to receive more sunlight. The sound wave generator sends out sound waves to detect the rotation of the photovoltaic module, and the recording device receives the sound waves. Whether the photovoltaic module rotates normally is judged according to the sending time and receiving time of the sound waves.

[0029] Specifically, 6:00 am every day is the starting position of the rotation of the photovoltaic module, and 18:00 pm is the rotation end point of the photovoltaic module. When the time of the network time synchronization device reaches 18:00, the rotating component is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the photovoltaic module slowly resets.

[0030] The present invention does not make specific limitations and descriptions on the rotating component, which can be a motor or any rotatable device.

[0031] The environment monitoring module is used to monitor the environment information of the photovoltaic power station in real time, and transmit the environment information to the server in the form of the second data packet at a frequency of period T. The environment monitoring module includes a second temperature sensor, a meteorograph and a soil detector. The ambient temperature information is detected by the second temperature sensor, the meteorological information is detected by the meteorograph, and the soil information is detected by the soil detector. The power generation amount that the photovoltaic equipment can generate is judged through the ambient temperature information and the meteorological information. Combining with the power generation amount information of the photovoltaic power station collected by the data acquisition module, the fault of the photovoltaic equipment is judged. The ground soil of the photovoltaic power station is inspected through the soil information to prevent faults such as landslides. At the same time, according to the soil state, the vibration condition of the grounding equipment can be feedback, improving the comprehensiveness of the monitoring of the photovoltaic power station.

[0032] A sniffer, installed in a photovoltaic power station, is used to intercept the first data packet sent by the data acquisition module and the second data packet sent by the environmental monitoring module, parse the data of the first data packet, determine whether the first data packet is successfully encrypted and transmit the judgment result to the server, parse the data of the second data packet, obtain the environmental information in the second data packet, mark the environmental information according to the historical data stored in the memory, and transmit the environmental information in the second data packet and the marked environmental information to the server at a frequency of T / 2 cycle; by parsing the first data packet through the sniffer, if the first data packet is successfully parsed, it means the first data packet is not encrypted, and the sniffer feeds back to the server, and the server repairs the encryption module through relevant personnel. When the first data packet cannot be parsed by the sniffer, it proves that the first data packet is successfully encrypted, and even if it is obtained by others midway, there will be no risk of information leakage, improving the security of information transmission. By intercepting the second data packet transmitted by the environmental monitoring module through the sniffer, the server confirms the integrity of data transmission through comparison, and sends data at different cycle frequencies to ensure that the received data has not been changed midway.

[0033] A server, which receives the data information of the data acquisition module, and when the judgment result transmitted by the sniffer is yes, parses the data of the first data packet. When the judgment result transmitted by the sniffer is no, it issues an instruction to the data acquisition module to resend the data information of the photovoltaic power station, receives the environmental information transmitted by the environmental monitoring module, and compares it with the environmental information transmitted by the sniffer. When the comparison result is consistent, it retains the marked environmental information. Otherwise, it issues an instruction to the environmental monitoring module to resend the environmental information, and generates the operation index data of the photovoltaic power station according to the data information of the photovoltaic power station and the marked environmental information;

[0034] A mobile monitoring terminal sends a data access request to the server to obtain the data information of the photovoltaic power station, the marked environmental information, and the operation index data of the photovoltaic power station; the mobile monitoring terminal is provided with a first Bluetooth module, and the sniffer is provided with a second Bluetooth module. The second Bluetooth module sends electromagnetic wave signals to the surrounding environment. When the mobile monitoring terminal enters the signal area of the second Bluetooth module, the first Bluetooth module communicates with the second Bluetooth module, and the sniffer sends the environmental information in the second data packet and the marked environmental information to the mobile monitoring terminal.

[0035] In this embodiment, a timing module is also set. The timing module is connected to the data acquisition module. When the data acquisition module acquires data once, it performs timing and sends the timing information to the encryption module and the server. The method for the encryption module to encrypt data is: according to the timing information of the timing module, add a timestamp to the header of the data packet for data packet encryption.

[0036] Furthermore, an inspection robot is provided in the photovoltaic power station of the present invention. The inspection robot moves within the photovoltaic power station according to the inspection route, dynamically monitors the photovoltaic equipment and environmental information along the inspection route. The inspection robot is connected to the server and transmits the data information monitored along the inspection route to the server. The inspection robot is provided with an alarm device. When the inspection robot determines that an abnormality occurs in the photovoltaic power station, it transmits an alarm message to the server and simultaneously gives an on-site alarm through the alarm device.

[0037] The above-described embodiments are only a preferred solution of the present invention and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. There are other variations and modifications without exceeding the technical solutions described in the claims.
