It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application 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 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.

[0026] According to an embodiment of this application, a method embodiment for simulating the power generation of a photovoltaic system is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for simulating the power generation of a photovoltaic system according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0028] Step S102: Determine the target data to be output to the bracket controller through the photovoltaic system model. The bracket controller is used to control the tracking bracket in the photovoltaic system. The tracking bracket is used to fix the photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic system. The photovoltaic system model runs on a computer device.

[0029] According to an optional embodiment of this application, the photovoltaic system model includes: a photovoltaic module model, an inverter model, a transformer model, and a photovoltaic system loss model. The photovoltaic system includes: photovoltaic modules, tracking brackets, a bracket controller, an inverter, and a transformer. The target data output to the bracket controller includes the DC power generation output by the photovoltaic modules or the AC power generation output by the inverter.

[0030] Step S104: Send the target data to the support controller and receive the tracking angle data generated by the support controller based on the target data.

[0031] According to another optional embodiment of this application, the DC power generation or AC power generation is sent to the support controller, and the support controller obtains the tracking angle data corresponding to the support controller according to its internal algorithm. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a photovoltaic grid-connected power generation system according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 In this system, for example, the DC power generation of the photovoltaic module is used as the input value of the intelligent tracking algorithm in the bracket controller. The DC power generation determines the tracking angle of the bracket controller, which in turn determines the tracking angle of the tracking bracket. The tracking angle of the tracking bracket is equal to the rotation angle of the photovoltaic module. The rotation angle of the photovoltaic module determines the power generation of the inverter, which in turn determines the output angle of the bracket controller, thus forming a closed loop.

[0032] Step S106: The tracking angle data and irradiance data are processed through the photovoltaic system model to determine the simulated power generation of the photovoltaic system. The irradiance data is generated by the irradiance data model running on the computer equipment.

[0033] In some optional embodiments of this application, the photovoltaic system model, according to its own algorithm, converts the tracking angle data and irradiance data into numerical values ​​or vectors that match the algorithm, and calculates the simulated power generation using the following formula:

[0034]

[0035] Among them, H A E represents the total solar irradiance on a horizontal surface. S Solar radiation intensity under standard conditions; P AZ K represents the installed capacity of the photovoltaic system; K is the comprehensive efficiency coefficient, which is a correction coefficient that takes into account the influence of various factors, including: photovoltaic module type correction coefficient, photovoltaic module rotation angle, photovoltaic power generation system availability, solar utilization rate, inverter efficiency, collector line and step-up transformer losses, photovoltaic module surface contamination correction coefficient, and photovoltaic module conversion efficiency correction coefficient.

[0036] Based on the above steps, the tracking angle data and irradiance data output by the bracket controller are processed through the photovoltaic system model to determine the simulated power generation of the photovoltaic system. This achieves the goal of accurately measuring the power generation of the photovoltaic system and thus realizes the technical effect of effectively evaluating the power generation efficiency of the bracket controller.

[0037] According to an optional embodiment of this application, the photovoltaic system model includes: a photovoltaic module model, an inverter model, a transformer model, and a photovoltaic system loss model.

[0038] According to another optional embodiment of this application, the photovoltaic module model is determined by multiple parameters of the photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic system. These multiple parameters include, but are not limited to: maximum power Pmax: the maximum power that the power supply can achieve in a short time; optimal operating point current Imp: the current corresponding to the maximum output power Pmax; optimal operating point voltage Vmp: the voltage corresponding to the maximum output power; open circuit voltage Voc: the voltage value corresponding to the open circuit at both ends; short circuit current Isc: the current passing through both ends of the photonics plate under the output short circuit state; conversion efficiency η: photoelectric conversion efficiency, i.e., the ratio of maximum power Pmax to incident power; fill factor FF: the ratio of maximum power Pmax to the power generated by the ideal cell (generally between 0.5 and 0.8).

[0039] The inverter model is determined by multiple parameters of the inverter in the photovoltaic system. These parameters include, but are not limited to: rated output voltage (the rated voltage value output by the inverter when outputting rated current under specified input power conditions, with voltage fluctuation ranges of 220V±5% for single-phase and 380V±5% for three-phase); and output voltage stability. In a photovoltaic system, the electrical energy generated by the solar cells is first stored in batteries and then converted into 220V or 380V AC power by the inverter. However, the output voltage of the batteries varies considerably due to their own charging and discharging. For inverters of a certain rating, the variation in steady-state output voltage should not exceed ±5% of its rated value; the waveform distortion of the output voltage, for sinusoidal inverters, should specify the maximum allowable waveform distortion (or harmonic content), usually expressed as the total waveform distortion of the output voltage, and its value should not exceed 5%. Since high-order harmonic currents at various points in the inverter will generate additional losses such as eddy currents on inductive loads, if the waveform distortion of the inverter is too large, it will cause the load components to overheat severely, which is detrimental to the safety of electrical equipment and seriously affects the operating efficiency of the photovoltaic system; rated output frequency; load power factor; inverter efficiency; rated output capacity.

[0040] The transformer model is determined by multiple parameters of the transformer in the photovoltaic system. These parameters include, but are not limited to: rated capacity; rated voltage; rated current; no-load loss; no-load current; load loss; impedance voltage; number of phases and frequency; number of phases and frequency; temperature rise and cooling; and insulation level.

[0041] The photovoltaic system loss model is determined by multiple loss parameters in the photovoltaic system. These loss parameters include, but are not limited to: mismatch loss, which is the loss caused by the mismatch between individual components in the string and between different strings; inverter loss, which mainly includes: overload loss, overvoltage loss, power threshold loss, and voltage threshold loss; transformer loss; and cable loss, which is mainly the ohmic loss caused by voltage drop and needs to be determined based on the actual cable usage in the photovoltaic system.

[0042] In some optional embodiments of this application, the target data to be output to the support controller is determined by a photovoltaic system model, including the following steps: acquiring the irradiation data generated by the irradiation data module; processing the irradiation data using the photovoltaic module model to obtain DC power generation; and determining the DC power generation as the target data.

[0043] In some optional embodiments of this application, the target data to be output to the bracket controller is determined by the photovoltaic system model, which can be achieved by the following method: acquiring the irradiation data generated by the irradiation data module; processing the irradiation data using the inverter model to obtain AC power generation; and determining the AC power generation as the target data.

[0044] Irradiation data is acquired through the irradiation data module in the computer equipment; DC power generation or AC power generation is obtained using the photovoltaic system model, and the DC power generation or AC power generation is determined as the target data.

[0045] In one optional embodiment, the irradiation data includes one of the following: simulated irradiation data, measured irradiation data, and typical meteorological year data.

[0046] The granularity of irradiation data can be at the hour, minute, or second level.

[0047] According to some preferred embodiments of this application, the target data is sent to the support controller, and the tracking angle data generated by the support controller based on the target data is received. This is achieved by: sending the target data to the support controller through an interface box, and receiving the tracking angle data sent by the support controller through the interface box. The interface box includes one of the following: a network cable and a data conversion device. The data conversion device is used to convert the target data from a first data format to a second data format, wherein the first data format is the data format used when transmitting data according to a data transmission protocol supported by the computer device, and the second data format is the data format used when transmitting data according to a data transmission protocol supported by the support controller. The data conversion device is also used to convert the tracking angle data from the second data format to the first data format.

[0048] According to an optional embodiment of this application, the multiple interfaces in the interface box are switchable. Multiple software interfaces corresponding to the photovoltaic system model are defined. When the hardware interface in the interface box fails, the software interface of the photovoltaic system model is switched to another interface in the interface box that corresponds to the software interface.

[0049] Figure 4 This is a communication connection diagram of a photovoltaic system power generation simulation system according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the interface box is a data conversion device used to convert MODBUS to USB. The RS-485 bus is connected to the bracket controller, and the universal serial bus is connected to the computer equipment.

[0050] This application solves the problem that the power generation benefits of smart tracking products (between different smart tracking bracket controllers or between smart tracking bracket controllers and traditional astronomical tracking bracket controllers) cannot be evaluated in the current market, and achieves the technical effect of effectively evaluating the power generation benefits of bracket controllers.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another method for simulating the power generation of a photovoltaic system according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S1: The irradiation time series data unit inputs the irradiation data into the photovoltaic system model, and determines the DC power generation output to the bracket controller through the photovoltaic system model;

[0053] In step S2, the DC power generation enters the support controller through the interface box. The support controller receives the DC power generation and calculates the current intelligent tracking angle through its internal algorithm.

[0054] Step S3: The intelligent tracking angle is output to the photovoltaic system model of the computer device via the interface box;

[0055] Step S4: The photovoltaic system model combines the current irradiance data and the intelligent tracking angle to calculate the simulated power generation of the system.

[0056] This application provides support controller manufacturers with a simulation testing method for the development process of tracking algorithms. This application can also be used as a power plant parallel operation system (deploying a simulation system in the power plant to run in parallel with the actual tracking system) to monitor whether the actual tracking system of the power plant is operating normally.

[0057] According to some preferred embodiments of this application, firstly, a theoretical model of the photovoltaic system is built on a computer using software. Then, communication between the theoretical model and the support controller is established according to the communication rules of the support controller product. Finally, the computer writes the required input data to the support controller, which calculates the intelligent tracking angle based on the input data and feeds it back to the computer. The computer then uses the built photovoltaic system theoretical model to simulate and obtain the power generation under intelligent tracking mode. Using the same method, communication is established with the support controller of a traditional astronomical tracking system, and the power generation under the traditional astronomical tracking mode is simulated and calculated. By comparing the two, the gain of intelligent tracking can be obtained.

[0058] Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of a photovoltaic system power generation simulation system according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the system includes: a computer device 50, an interface box 52, and a support controller 54, wherein,

When the hardware interface in the interface box 52 fails, the software interface of the photovoltaic system model is switched to another interface in the interface box 52 corresponding to the software interface.
