Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inverter technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for diagnosing MPPT voltage anomalies in inverters. Background Technology

[0002] An inverter is a converter that transforms direct current (DC) into fixed-frequency or frequency- and voltage-regulated alternating current (AC). Inverters have important applications in fields such as photovoltaic (PV) systems. The MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) voltage of an inverter refers to how the inverter adjusts the output power of the PV array according to different external environmental characteristics such as temperature and light intensity, ensuring that the PV array always outputs maximum power. In the absence of external power limiting commands, the inverter typically operates at its maximum power point, and its efficiency is optimal when operating at the maximum power point.

[0003] When an inverter deviates from its maximum power point, it indicates an abnormal MPPT voltage, which leads to a reduction in active power. However, inverter MPPT voltage abnormalities generally do not trigger an alarm, increasing the difficulty for maintenance personnel to detect these anomalies and resulting in significant power generation losses. In other words, current technology cannot detect MPPT voltage abnormalities in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Optionally, before calculating the theoretical MPPT voltage value for the time period to be diagnosed based on the component temperature and a preset voltage model during the time period to be diagnosed, the method further includes:

[0024] Using the irradiance, module temperature, module voltage temperature coefficient, and module nameplate maximum power point voltage in the second historical time period as input parameters, and the actual MPPT voltage of the inverter during normal operation in the second historical time period as output parameters, the preset voltage model is trained using a deep learning algorithm.

[0025] Optionally, the deep learning algorithm includes: an unsupervised pre-trained network, a convolutional neural network, a recurrent neural network, or a recurrent neural network.

[0044] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for diagnosing inverter MPPT voltage anomalies according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the diagnosis of inverter MPPT voltage anomalies. The method can be executed by an inverter MPPT voltage anomaly diagnosis device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software, and can be configured in a processor. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0048] S130. Calculate the component temperature during the time period to be diagnosed based on the component temperature expression.

[0049] Specifically, the inverter can be, for example, a string inverter used in a photovoltaic system. The diagnostic time period represents the period during which the inverter needs to be monitored. For example, it can be a specific time period within the date on which MPPT voltage anomaly diagnosis is required, or it can be a specific time period after the inverter starts operating and begins timing. The current data of the inverter is the independent variable involved in the module temperature expression (which will be explained later). The current data at any time within the diagnostic time period can be substituted into the module temperature expression to calculate the module temperature at that time, which facilitates the subsequent calculation of the theoretical MPPT voltage.

[0050] S140. Calculate the theoretical MPPT voltage value during the diagnostic time period based on the component temperature and preset voltage model during the diagnostic time period.

[0051] Specifically, the theoretical MPPT voltage value at any given moment during the diagnostic period can be calculated by substituting the component temperature and other directly obtainable relevant data (which will be explained later) into a preset voltage model.

[0052] S150. Determine whether the inverter MPPT voltage is abnormal based on the theoretical MPPT voltage value and the actual MPPT voltage value of the inverter during the diagnostic period.

[0053] Specifically, during inverter operation, the actual MPPT voltage value at any given time is used as an operating parameter of the inverter and can be directly obtained. The method for obtaining this value is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. By comparing the theoretical MPPT voltage with the actual MPPT voltage during the diagnostic period, it can be determined whether the inverter's MPPT voltage is abnormal. If abnormal, maintenance personnel should be notified promptly for maintenance.

[0054] The technical solution in this embodiment employs an inverter MPPT voltage anomaly diagnosis method. By adding the component temperature factor, the theoretical MPPT voltage of the inverter during the diagnostic period is calculated. The calculation of the theoretical MPPT voltage is more accurate, and it is compared with the actual MPPT voltage during the diagnostic period. This allows for timely detection of whether the inverter MPPT voltage is abnormal, enabling maintenance personnel to perform timely maintenance and ensuring that the inverter is always in optimal working condition, thus preventing energy waste.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for diagnosing inverter MPPT voltage anomalies according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment refines the method for determining whether the inverter MPPT voltage is abnormal. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0057] S1. Obtain the module temperature, tilt surface irradiance, total module area in the string, string voltage, string current, module temperature, air temperature, and wind speed for the first historical time period to fit the module temperature expression.

[0058] Specifically, the inverter's component temperature affects its theoretical MPPT voltage value, and the component temperature can be calculated using relevant parameters. For example, an expression for the inverter's component temperature can be fitted based on data from a first historical time period. An expression for the inverter's component temperature can be fitted using historical data, allowing the calculation of the inverter's component temperature within the diagnostic period. The first historical time period can be any period during which the inverter operates normally.

[0059] S130. Calculate the component temperature during the time period to be diagnosed based on the component temperature expression;

[0060] S140. Calculate the theoretical MPPT voltage value during the diagnostic time period based on the component temperature and preset voltage model during the diagnostic time period.

[0061] S151. Calculate the deviation rate between the theoretical MPPT voltage and the actual MPPT voltage. If the absolute value of the deviation rate is greater than the preset value within the diagnostic time period, then the inverter MPPT voltage is determined to be abnormal.

[0062] Specifically, the formula for calculating the deviation rate is: ΔU=(U 实际MPPT -U 理论MPPT ) / U 理论MPPT Where ΔU is the deviation rate, U 实际MPPT U is the actual MPPT voltage. 理论MPPT The theoretical MPPT voltage is used. A preset value could be, for example, ±5%. In this embodiment, the deviation rate between the inverter's theoretical MPPT voltage and the actual MPPT voltage can be compared in real time to determine whether the inverter is abnormal at any given moment. To eliminate the influence of random shading (e.g., an obstruction blocking the inverter at a certain moment), the average absolute value of the deviation rate during the diagnostic time period can be calculated. If this average value is greater than the preset value, it indicates that the inverter is malfunctioning; if the average value is less than or equal to the preset value, it indicates that the inverter is functioning normally. This embodiment determines whether the inverter's MPPT voltage is abnormal by comparing the deviation rate between the theoretical and actual MPPT voltage during the diagnostic time period. The determination method is simple and requires minimal computation.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an inverter MPPT voltage anomaly diagnosis method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0065] S1. Obtain the module temperature, tilt surface irradiance, total module area in the string, string voltage, string current, module temperature, air temperature, and wind speed for the first historical time period to fit the module temperature expression.

[0066] S130. Calculate the component temperature during the time period to be diagnosed based on the component temperature expression;

[0067] S140. Calculate the theoretical MPPT voltage value during the diagnostic time period based on the component temperature and preset voltage model during the diagnostic time period.

[0068] S152. Calculate the deviation rate between the theoretical MPPT voltage value and the actual MPPT voltage. If the absolute value of the deviation rate is greater than the preset value within the diagnostic time period, then perform a judgment based on the preset conditions. If the preset conditions are met, then determine that the inverter MPPT voltage is abnormal. Wherein, n is a positive integer, and the preset conditions include that the absolute value of the deviation rate is less than the preset value within each extended preset time period before and after the diagnostic time period of the previous n days.

[0069] Specifically, the diagnostic time period refers to a specific time segment of the date for which diagnosis is needed, such as 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. To rule out fixed shading (an object obstructing the inverter during a certain time segment) affecting the inverter's MPPT voltage, the deviation rate can be calculated within the n days preceding the date of the diagnostic time period, extending by a preset time interval before and after the diagnostic time period. If the absolute value of the deviation rate is less than the preset value, it indicates that no fixed object is obstructing the inverter during the diagnostic time period. Therefore, the inverter's MPPT voltage abnormality is not due to fixed shading. In this case, a diagnosis of inverter MPPT voltage abnormality can be made, thus improving the accuracy of the inverter MPPT voltage abnormality diagnosis. The preset time can be 15 minutes.

[0070] Preferably, based on the above embodiments, the preset conditions further include: in the time period before and after the diagnosis period and the time period before and after the diagnosis period of the previous n days, the time between the start time and the grid connection time of the inverter is greater than a first preset value, and the time between the end time and the grid disconnection time of the inverter is greater than a second preset value.

[0071] Specifically, the first preset value and the second preset value can be the same. The MPPT voltage of the inverter may be unstable for a period of time after grid connection and for a period of time before grid disconnection. By judging the time period to be diagnosed and the time periods before and after the time period to be diagnosed, if the start time is greater than the time of grid connection and the end time is greater than the time of grid disconnection, it can be ensured that the abnormality of the inverter MPPT voltage is not caused by the grid connection or disconnection of the inverter, thereby improving the accuracy of the diagnosis of abnormal inverter MPPT voltage.

[0072] Preferably, based on the above embodiments, the preset conditions further include: during the time period to be diagnosed and the time periods before and after the time period to be diagnosed n days prior, the inverter apparent power is less than the maximum apparent power, the AC current is less than the maximum current, and there is no external power limiting command.

[0073] Specifically, when the inverter's apparent power equals the maximum apparent power, i.e., when the inverter is at full power, the MPPT voltage will deviate from the maximum power point; when the inverter's AC current equals the maximum current, i.e., when the inverter is at full current, the MPPT voltage will also deviate from the maximum power point; and when the inverter is under an external power limiting command, the MPPT voltage will also deviate from the maximum power point. In this embodiment, through the above settings, the abnormal MPPT voltage of the inverter under full power, full current, and external power limiting command conditions can be eliminated, further improving the accuracy of the inverter's MPPT voltage abnormality diagnosis.

[0074] Example 4

[0075] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an inverter MPPT voltage anomaly diagnosis method provided in Embodiment 4 of the present invention, referred to... Figure 4 The preset voltage model is the MPPT voltage model; the inverter's MPPT voltage model can be used to calculate the theoretical MPPT voltage of the inverter during operation. For example, the inverter's MPPT voltage model can be trained based on data from the second historical time period.

[0076] Specifically, the second historical time period can be any period during which the inverter operates normally. The data within the second historical time period includes the component temperature of the inverter during that period. In some implementations, the second historical time period can be the same as the first historical time period, for example, the hour preceding the period to be diagnosed. The data in the second historical time period includes the actual MPPT voltage during normal inverter operation. Since the inverter operates normally, its actual MPPT voltage is the same as the theoretical MPPT voltage. Therefore, the actual MPPT voltage can be used as the output, and the data affecting the MPPT voltage (described later) can be used as the input. By training, an MPPT voltage model can be obtained, and subsequently, the theoretical MPPT voltage of the inverter during operation can be calculated using the MPPT voltage model.

[0077] To obtain the module temperature, tilt surface irradiance, total module area in the string, string voltage, string current, module temperature, air temperature, and wind speed for the first historical time period, and to fit the module temperature expression, the following data is used:

[0078] S111. Taking time t0 in the first historical time period as the starting time, obtain the component temperature T at time t0. 组件t0and the tilt surface irradiance f, total module area A in the string, string voltage u, string current i, and module temperature T at each time after time t0. 组件 Temperature T 空气 And wind speed v;

[0079] Specifically, the above data can be obtained from the corresponding monitoring module of the inverter. The acquisition method is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The above data can be used to fit the component temperature expression.

[0080] S112. Substitute the heat balance equation from time t0 to time t1.

[0081] Specifically, in the above heat balance equation, The radiant energy received by the component. The energy that is radiated and converted into electrical energy. The heat transferred from the component to the air, c(T) 组件 -T 组件t0 ) represents the actual heat added by the component; a, b, and c are unknown quantities, and T represents the heat added in the data of the first historical time period. 组件 Since these are known quantities, the values ​​of a, b, and c can be fitted using historical data. Then, T can be further... 组件 As an unknown quantity, it is used to calculate the component temperature during the time period to be diagnosed.

[0082] S113. Fit the values ​​of a, b, and c.

[0083] Before calculating the theoretical MPPT voltage value for the diagnostic time period based on the component temperature and preset voltage model during the diagnostic time period, the following steps are also included:

[0084] S121. Using the irradiance, module temperature, module voltage temperature coefficient, and module nameplate maximum power point voltage in the second historical time period as input parameters, and the actual MPPT voltage of the inverter when it is working normally in the second historical time period as output parameters, the preset voltage model is trained using a deep learning algorithm.

[0085] Specifically, irradiance and module temperature can be obtained directly from the second historical time period, while module voltage temperature coefficient and module nameplate maximum power point voltage can be obtained from the module parameters. All of the above data affect the inverter's MPPT voltage. However, since there is no direct formula for calculating the MPPT voltage, a model of input and output parameters, i.e., the MPPT voltage model, can be trained using a deep learning algorithm.

[0086] Preferably, the deep learning algorithm described above may include unsupervised pre-trained networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, or recurrent neural networks. Of course, other types of neural networks may also be used.

[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, the above method also includes:

[0088] S130. Calculate the component temperature during the time period to be diagnosed based on the component temperature expression;

[0089] S140. Calculate the theoretical MPPT voltage value during the diagnostic time period based on the component temperature and preset voltage model during the diagnostic time period.

[0090] S153. Calculate the deviation rate between the theoretical MPPT voltage value and the actual MPPT voltage. If the absolute value of the deviation rate is greater than the preset value within the diagnostic time period, then execute S154; otherwise, end.

[0091] S154. Determine whether the deviation rate is less than the preset value in each of the extended preset time periods before and after the diagnosis period of the previous n days; if yes, then execute S155; otherwise, end.

[0092] S155. Determine whether the time between the start time and the inverter grid connection time is greater than the first preset value, and whether the time between the end time and the inverter grid disconnection time is greater than the second preset value, in the time periods before and after the diagnosis period and the time periods before and after the diagnosis period n days prior. If yes, execute S156; otherwise, end.

[0093] S156. Determine whether the inverter's apparent power is less than the maximum apparent power, the AC current is less than the maximum current, and there is no external power limiting command during the time periods before and after the diagnosis period and the time periods before and after the diagnosis period n days prior. If yes, execute S157; otherwise, end.

[0094] S157 issues an alarm for abnormal inverter MPPT voltage.

If the absolute value of the deviation rate is greater than a preset value within the diagnostic time period, the inverter MPPT voltage is determined to be abnormal. In this embodiment, the deviation rate between the theoretical MPPT voltage and the actual MPPT voltage of the inverter can be compared in real time to determine whether the inverter is abnormal at any given time. To eliminate the influence of random shading (e.g., an obstruction blocking the inverter at a certain moment), the average value of the absolute value of the deviation rate within the diagnostic time period can be calculated. If the average value is greater than a preset value, it indicates that the inverter is malfunctioning; if the average value is less than or equal to the preset value, it indicates that the inverter is functioning normally. This embodiment can determine whether the inverter MPPT voltage is abnormal by comparing the deviation rate between the theoretical MPPT voltage and the actual MPPT voltage within the diagnostic time period. The judgment method is simple and requires less computation.

[0103] Optionally, in some other embodiments, the judgment module 104 is specifically configured to calculate the deviation rate between the theoretical MPPT voltage value and the actual MPPT voltage. If the absolute value of the deviation rate is greater than a preset value within the diagnostic time period, a judgment based on preset conditions is performed. If the preset conditions are met, the inverter MPPT voltage is determined to be abnormal. Here, n is a positive integer, and the preset conditions include: the absolute value of the deviation rate is less than the preset value within each extended preset time period before and after the diagnostic time period of the previous n days.

[0104] The preset conditions may also include the following: during the period to be diagnosed, and during the extended preset time periods before and after the period to be diagnosed n days prior, the start time is greater than the time of inverter grid connection than the first preset value, and the end time is greater than the time of inverter grid disconnection than the second preset value.

[0105] The preset conditions also include: during the diagnostic period and the extended preset time periods before and after the diagnostic period of the previous n days, the inverter's apparent power is less than the maximum apparent power, the AC current is less than the maximum current, and there is no external power limiting command.

[0106] Optionally, the acquisition and fitting module 101 may specifically include: an acquisition unit configured to acquire the component temperature T at time t0, starting from time t0 in the first historical time period. 组件t0 and the tilt surface irradiance f, total module area A in the string, string voltage u, string current i, and module temperature T at each time after time t0. 组件 Temperature T 空气 And wind speed v;
