[0077] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0078] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the fault loss power determination method of the present invention. This embodiment applies the fault loss power determination method to a fault loss power determination system for a photovoltaic power station. The fault loss power determination system can be applied to devices such as PCs and smart terminals. For ease of description, the fault loss power determination system is used as an example. The method includes:

[0079] Step S10: Obtain the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter in the power station for each historical day and the historical daily weather data;

[0080] In this embodiment, before calculating the fault loss power of the photovoltaic power station, the fault loss power determination system acquires the historical data of the power station. The historical data includes the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter for each day and the historical weather data for each day. It should be noted that the equivalent utilization hours = the power generation of the inverter / the DC side installed capacity of the inverter; the historical weather data includes the solar altitude angle, temperature, cloudy days, sunny days, etc.

[0081] Step S20: Cluster the inverters according to the historical daily weather data and the equivalent utilization hours to determine the inverter group set;

[0082] In this embodiment, the fault loss power determination system clusters all inverters in the power station based on historical daily weather data and equivalent utilization hours to obtain inverter group sets.

[0083] Specifically, step S20 includes:

[0084] Step S201: Based on the preset grouping time period and the historical daily weather data, group the historical dates corresponding to the power station to obtain a historical date grouping set;

[0085] In this step, the fault loss power determination system determines the historical daily tilt surface radiation of the power station based on historical daily weather data, and groups the historical dates corresponding to the power station according to the preset grouping time period and the historical daily tilt surface radiation, to obtain a set of historical date groups. It can be understood that the preset grouping time period can be a month, quarter, etc., that is, the dates in each month in the history of the power station can be grouped according to their historical daily tilt surface radiation, or the dates in each quarter in the history of the power station can be grouped according to their historical daily tilt surface radiation, etc.

[0086] Preferably, the preset grouping time period is monthly, that is, the dates within each month in the history of the power station are grouped according to their historical daily tilt surface radiation. The fault loss power determination system has acquired two years of historical data of the power station. Taking January as an example, January has 62 days of data. Among the 62 days, there are 10 days with tilt surface radiation greater than or equal to 6 kWh / m², 30 days with tilt surface radiation between 4 and 6 kWh / m², 20 days with tilt surface radiation between 2 and 4 kWh / m², and 2 days with tilt surface radiation less than 2 kWh / m². Thus, the 62 days can be divided into 4 groups. That is, the days with tilt surface radiation greater than or equal to 6 kWh / m² are grouped into one group, the days with tilt surface radiation between 4 and 6 kWh / m² are grouped into another group, the days with tilt surface radiation between 2 and 4 kWh / m² are grouped into another group, and the days with tilt surface radiation less than 2 kWh / m² are grouped into another group. For dates in other months, the same grouping method is used, which will not be repeated here; the specific values ​​of the inclined surface radiation used for grouping can be determined according to the actual situation, and are not limited here.

[0087] It should be noted that the division by month is because shading has a time-dependent characteristic, and the shading situation in the same month can be considered similar. At the same time, the solar altitude angle and temperature also have time-dependent characteristics. Under the same tilt surface irradiance, the solar altitude angle and temperature determine the inverter's maximum output. For inverters with a high capacity ratio, the maximum output will affect the equivalent utilization hours. The division by tilt surface radiation is because the same shading will have different effects on the power generation of the modules under different radiation levels. The impact is greater on sunny days and less on cloudy days. At the same time, the radiation level will also affect the inverter's maximum output.

[0088] Under the same tilt irradiance, the solar altitude angle and temperature determine the inverter's maximum output. For inverters with a high capacity ratio, the maximum output affects the equivalent utilization hours. Specifically, the inverter's equivalent utilization hours are mainly related to the tilt irradiance of the day. If the maximum tilt irradiance of the day allows the inverter to operate at full power, then increasing the irradiance beyond the maximum tilt irradiance will increase the tilt irradiance, but since the inverter has already reached full power, its power will not increase, and the inverter's equivalent utilization hours for the day will not increase either. This demonstrates that... Under certain conditions, the equivalent utilization hours of an inverter are related not only to the amount of irradiance on the tilted surface, but also to whether the inverter reaches full power operation. Obviously, the higher the capacity ratio (in layman's terms, the more components connected to the same model of inverter), the higher the maximum tilted surface irradiance, and the easier it is for the inverter to reach full power operation. Assuming that under a certain maximum tilted surface irradiance, the inverter with a high capacity ratio reaches full power operation, while the inverter with a low capacity ratio does not reach full power operation, then under the same amount of irradiance on the tilted surface, the equivalent utilization hours of the inverter with a low capacity ratio will be higher than those of the inverter with a high capacity ratio.

[0089] Step S202: Cluster the inverters according to the historical date grouping set and the equivalent utilization hours to determine the inverter grouping set.

[0090] In this step, the fault loss power determination system acquires historical data corresponding to each historical date within each historical date group in the historical date set. Based on the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter in the power station recorded in the historical data, the system clusters the inverters for each historical date, determining the inverter group corresponding to each historical date group. Finally, it determines the inverter group set based on the inverter groups corresponding to each historical date group. It should be noted that the historical data for each historical date records the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter in the power station for that historical date.

[0091] Step S30: Obtain the current fault information of the power station, and determine the fault power loss of the power station based on the current fault information and the inverter group set.

[0092] In this embodiment, after determining the inverter group set, the fault loss power determination system obtains the current fault information of the power station when it detects a fault in the power station, and determines the fault loss power of the power station based on the current fault information and the inverter group set.

[0093] Specifically, step S30 includes:

[0094] Step S301: Determine whether the current fault information is an inverter fault;

[0095] In this step, after obtaining the current fault information of the power station, the fault loss power determination system identifies the faulty equipment based on the current fault information, and then determines whether the faulty equipment is the inverter, and further determines whether the current fault information indicates an inverter fault.

[0096] Step S302: If yes, then determine the inverter set corresponding to the current fault information, and determine the fault power loss of the power station based on the inverter set and the inverter group set;

[0097] Step S303: If not, determine the set of faulty devices corresponding to the current fault information, map the set of faulty devices to the set of inverters, and determine the fault power loss of the power station based on the set of inverters and the set of inverter groups.

[0098] In steps S302 to S303, if the fault loss power determination system determines that the current fault information is an inverter fault, it determines the inverter set corresponding to the current fault information and determines the power loss of the power station based on the inverter set and the inverter group set; if the fault loss power determination system determines that the current fault information is not an inverter fault, it determines the fault equipment set corresponding to the current fault information, maps the fault equipment set to the inverter set, and determines the power loss of the power station based on the inverter set and the inverter group set; further, determining the power loss of the power station based on the inverter set and the inverter group set specifically involves: sequentially selecting an inverter from the inverter set, and determining the power loss based on the selected inverter and the current day corresponding to the current fault information. In this process, the inverter group corresponding to the selected inverter is determined from the inverter group set, and the benchmark equivalent utilization hours corresponding to the inverter group are determined. The installed capacity of the selected inverter and the actual equivalent utilization hours of the selected inverter on the current date are obtained. Based on the benchmark equivalent utilization hours corresponding to the inverter group, the installed capacity of the selected inverter, and the actual equivalent utilization hours of the selected inverter on the current date, the fault loss power of the selected inverter on the current date is determined. The above process is performed for each inverter in the inverter set to determine the fault loss power of each inverter in the inverter set on the current date. The fault loss power of each inverter on the current date is added together to obtain the fault loss power of the power station on the current date.

[0099] Furthermore, the step of mapping the set of faulty devices to the set of inverters includes:

[0100] Step S3031: Obtain the preset equipment hierarchy relationship of the power station and determine the equipment hierarchy of each faulty device in the faulty equipment set;

[0101] Step S3032: Determine the inverter corresponding to each faulty device based on the device level of each faulty device and the preset device level relationship;

[0102] Step S3033: Based on the hierarchical relationship, map each faulty device to the corresponding inverter to obtain an inverter set.

[0103] In steps S3031 to S3033, the fault loss power determination system obtains the preset equipment hierarchy relationship of the power station and determines the equipment hierarchy of each faulty device in the faulty device set; based on the equipment hierarchy of each faulty device and the preset equipment hierarchy relationship, it determines the inverter corresponding to each faulty device; based on the hierarchy relationship, it maps each faulty device to the corresponding inverter to obtain the inverter set. It's understandable that mapping faulty non-inverter equipment to the faulty inverter is primarily because inverter data is easier and more reliable to obtain. Calculating power loss mainly requires data on power generation and installed capacity, both of which are relatively easy and reliable for inverters. Upper-level inverter equipment (such as transformer substations and collector lines) either lacks power metering devices or has devices where data acquisition is difficult (due to communication debugging issues). Lower-level inverter equipment (such as combiner boxes and strings) lacks power metering devices and can only perform rough calculations using voltage and current data, resulting in significantly larger errors compared to devices with metering capabilities. Furthermore, the installed capacity of lower-level inverter equipment is difficult to quantify due to its vast number and frequent changes in capacity (the installation location of strings is often altered during on-site fault handling). In contrast, inverter capacity is much more stable.

[0104] For example, if the faulty device is transformer No. 1, based on the equipment hierarchy of transformer No. 1 and the preset equipment hierarchy relationship of the power station, transformer No. 1 is determined to be the upper-level device of the inverter, and there are two inverters (inverter 1-1 and inverter 1-2) connected to the lower level of transformer No. 1. Then transformer No. 1 is mapped to inverter 1-1 and inverter 1-2. If the faulty device is combiner box 1-8, based on the equipment hierarchy of combiner box 1-8 and the preset equipment hierarchy relationship of the power station, combiner box 1-8 is determined to be the lower-level device of the inverter, and combiner box 1-8 is connected to inverter 1-2. Then combiner box 1-8 is mapped to inverter 1-2.

[0105] The fault loss power determination system in this embodiment acquires the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter in the power plant for each historical day and historical daily weather data; it clusters the inverters based on the historical daily weather data and equivalent utilization hours to determine the inverter group set; it acquires the current fault information of the power plant, and determines the fault loss power of the power plant based on the current fault information and the inverter group set. This invention clusters the inverters based on historical daily weather data and the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter in the power plant for each historical day to determine the inverter group set. Any equipment failure in the power plant can be calculated by selecting the corresponding equivalent utilization hours from the inverter group set, thereby determining the fault loss power of the power plant. This eliminates the need to specify a prototype unit, thus reducing the error in calculating fault loss power.

[0106] Further, refer to Figure 2The second embodiment of the present invention is proposed. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the step of clustering the inverters according to the historical date grouping set and the equivalent utilization hours to determine the inverter grouping set includes:

[0107] Step S2021: Select a historical date group from the historical date grouping set in sequence;

[0108] Step S2022: Cluster the inverters according to the equivalent utilization hours corresponding to each historical date in the selected historical date group to determine the inverter pre-grouping corresponding to each historical date;

[0109] In steps S2021 and S2022, the fault loss power determination system sequentially selects a historical date group from the historical date grouping set. Based on the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter in the power station for each historical date within the selected historical date group, it clusters all inverters to determine the pre-grouping of inverters corresponding to each historical date. It should be noted that clustering all inverters means grouping inverters with the same or approximately the same equivalent utilization hours into one group. The term "approximately the same" is not limited here and can be set according to specific circumstances.

[0110] For example, the preset grouping time period is monthly. That is, the fault loss power determination system groups the dates in each month of the power station's history according to its historical daily tilt surface radiation. Taking January as an example, the historical date grouping set for January includes: Group 1: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11; Group 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12; Group 3: 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31; Group 4: 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, where the numbers represent the dates. The fault loss power determination system sequentially selects a historical date group from the historical date grouping set. Assuming the first group is selected, the system obtains the equivalent utilization hours for each inverter in the power station on day 1. Inverters with the same or approximately the same equivalent utilization hours are clustered together. Assuming there are ten inverters in the power station, numbered 1-10, and inverters 1-5 and 6-10 have the same or approximately the same equivalent utilization hours, inverters 1-5 are clustered into one pre-group, and inverters 6-10 are clustered into another pre-group. The same steps are performed for other dates to determine the pre-group of inverters corresponding to each historical date in the selected historical date group.

[0111] Step S2023: Determine the inverter group corresponding to the selected historical date group based on the inverter pre-grouping corresponding to each historical date;

[0112] In this step, after the fault loss power determination system determines the inverter pre-grouping corresponding to each historical date of the selected historical date group, it determines the inverter grouping corresponding to the selected historical date group based on the inverter pre-grouping corresponding to each historical date.

[0113] Specifically, step S2023 includes:

[0114] Step S20231: Count the grouping type of inverter pregroups corresponding to each historical date in the selected historical date group, and compare the number of inverter pregroups contained in each grouping type to obtain the comparison results;

[0115] Step S20232: Based on the comparison results, the inverter pregroup corresponding to the group type with the largest number of inverter pregroups is selected as the inverter group corresponding to the historical date group.

[0116] In steps S20231 to S20232, the fault loss power determination system statistically selects the inverter pre-grouping type corresponding to each historical date in the selected historical date grouping, and compares the number of inverter pre-groupings contained in each grouping type to obtain the comparison result; based on the comparison result, the inverter pre-grouping corresponding to the grouping type containing the most inverter pre-groupings is taken as the inverter grouping corresponding to the selected historical date grouping.

[0117] For example, continuing the above example, assuming that in the first group, the inverter pre-grouping for the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th is as follows: inverters 1-5 are clustered into one inverter pre-group, and inverters 6-10 are clustered into another inverter pre-group; the inverter pre-grouping for the 9th is: inverters 1-3 are clustered into one inverter pre-group, and inverters 4-10 are clustered into another inverter pre-group; the inverter pre-grouping for the 11th is: inverters 1-8 are clustered into one inverter pre-group, and inverters 9-10 are clustered into another inverter pre-group; in the historical date grouping selected by the fault loss power determination system statistics... There are three types of inverter pre-grouping for each historical date. The first type contains 4 inverter pre-groups, while the second and third types each contain 1 inverter pre-group. The fault loss power determination system compares the number of inverter pre-groups in each grouping type and determines that the inverter pre-groups corresponding to the first type are used as the inverter groups corresponding to the selected historical date groups. That is, the inverter groups corresponding to the selected historical date groups are: inverters 1-5 are clustered into one inverter group, and inverters 6-10 are clustered into another inverter group.

[0118] Step S2024: Until the inverter group corresponding to each historical date group in the historical date group set is determined, determine the inverter group set based on the inverter group corresponding to each historical date group.

[0119] In this step, the fault loss power determination system performs the above steps for each historical date group in the historical date group set until the inverter group corresponding to each historical date group in the historical date group set is determined, and the inverter group set is determined based on the inverter group corresponding to each historical date group.

[0120] The fault loss power determination system in this embodiment sequentially selects a historical date group from the historical date grouping set; clusters the inverters according to the equivalent utilization hours corresponding to each historical date in the selected historical date group, and determines the inverter pre-grouping corresponding to each historical date; determines the inverter grouping corresponding to the selected historical date group based on the inverter pre-grouping corresponding to each historical date; and so on until the inverter grouping corresponding to each historical date group in the historical date grouping set is determined, and determines the inverter grouping set based on the inverter grouping corresponding to each historical date group. By grouping the inverters, it is convenient to calculate the fault loss power by selecting the corresponding equivalent utilization hours in the inverter grouping set for any equipment failure in the subsequent power plant, thereby determining the power plant's fault loss power, without the need to specify a prototype machine, thus reducing the error in fault loss power calculation.

[0121] Further, refer to Figure 3The present invention proposes a third embodiment, which differs from the first and second embodiments in that the step of determining the fault loss power of the power station based on the inverter set and the inverter group set includes:

[0122] Step S3031: Determine the current date and select an inverter from the inverter set in sequence;

[0123] Step S3032: Determine the target inverter group in the inverter group set according to the current date and the selected inverter;

[0124] In steps S3031 to S3032, the fault loss power determination system determines the current date and selects an inverter from the inverter set corresponding to the current fault information of the power station in sequence. Based on the current date and the selected inverter, the system determines the target inverter group in the inverter group set.

[0125] Specifically, data such as the month, quarter, weather, and tilt surface radiation corresponding to the current date are obtained. The historical date group corresponding to the current date is determined from the historical date grouping set. Then, based on the historical date group corresponding to the current date and the selected inverter, the target inverter group is determined from the inverter grouping set. For example, assuming the inverter grouping in the power plant's inverter grouping set for the current date is as follows: inverters 1-5 are clustered into one inverter group, and inverters 6-10 are clustered into another inverter group; assuming the selected inverter number is 1, then the inverter group for inverters 1-5 is determined as the target inverter group corresponding to the selected inverter.

[0126] Step S3033: Calculate the benchmark equivalent utilization hours corresponding to the target inverter group, and obtain the installed capacity and actual equivalent utilization hours of the selected inverter;

[0127] In this step, the fault loss power determination system calculates the benchmark equivalent utilization hours corresponding to the target inverter group and obtains the installed capacity and actual equivalent utilization hours of the selected inverter.

[0128] Specifically, step S3033 includes:

[0129] Step S30331: Obtain the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter in the target inverter group other than the selected inverter, and calculate the median or average of the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter other than the selected inverter, and use the median or average as the benchmark equivalent utilization hours of the target inverter group.

[0130] In this step, the fault loss power determination system obtains the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter in the target inverter group except for the selected inverter, and calculates the median or average of the equivalent utilization hours of each inverter except for the selected inverter. The median or average is then used as the benchmark equivalent utilization hours of the target inverter group.

[0131] For example, the inverter group of inverters 1-5 is the target inverter group corresponding to the selected inverter. The selected inverter is numbered 1. The fault loss power determination system determines the median or average based on the equivalent utilization hours of inverters 2-5, and uses the median or average as the benchmark equivalent utilization hours corresponding to the target inverter group.

[0132] Step S3034: Determine the fault loss power of the selected inverter based on the benchmark equivalent utilization hours, the installed capacity, and the actual equivalent utilization hours;

[0133] In this step, the fault loss power determination system determines the fault loss power of the selected inverter based on the benchmark equivalent utilization hours, installed capacity, and actual equivalent utilization hours; specifically, the fault loss power of the inverter = the installed capacity of the inverter × (the benchmark equivalent utilization hours of the inverter's group - the actual equivalent utilization hours of the inverter).

[0134] Step S3035, until the fault loss power of each inverter in the inverter set is determined, and the fault loss power of the power station is determined based on the fault loss power of each inverter.

[0135] Specifically, step S3035 includes:

[0136] Step S30351: The fault loss power of each inverter is added together to obtain the fault loss power of the power station.

[0137] In this step, the fault loss power determination system performs the above steps on each inverter in the inverter set to determine the fault loss power of each inverter, and then adds up the fault loss power of each inverter to obtain the fault loss power of the power station.

[0138] The fault loss power determination system in this embodiment determines the current date and sequentially selects an inverter from the inverter set; based on the current date and the selected inverter, it determines the target inverter group from the inverter group set; it calculates the benchmark equivalent utilization hours corresponding to the target inverter group and obtains the installed capacity and actual equivalent utilization hours of the selected inverter; based on the benchmark equivalent utilization hours, installed capacity, and actual equivalent utilization hours, it determines the fault loss power of the selected inverter; this process continues until the fault loss power of each inverter in the inverter set is determined, and the fault loss power of the power station is determined based on the fault loss power of each inverter. By selecting the corresponding equivalent utilization hours from the inverter group set to calculate the fault loss power, and thus determining the fault loss power of the power station, it is not necessary to specify a prototype inverter, thereby reducing the error in the fault loss power calculation.

[0156] If so, determine the inverter set corresponding to the current fault information, and determine the fault power loss of the power station based on the inverter set and the inverter group set;

[0157] If not, then determine the set of faulty devices corresponding to the current fault information, map the set of faulty devices to the set of inverters, and determine the fault power loss of the power station based on the set of inverters and the set of inverter groups.

[0158] Furthermore, the determining module is also used for:

[0159] Obtain the preset equipment hierarchy relationship of the power station, and determine the equipment hierarchy of each faulty device in the faulty equipment set;

[0160] The inverter corresponding to each faulty device is determined based on the device level of each faulty device and the preset device level relationship;

[0162] Furthermore, the determining module is also used for:
