Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic power plant technology, and in particular to a digital twin system and method for photovoltaic installation operations in mountainous areas. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid economic development, global energy demand has increased dramatically. The long-term reliance on traditional non-renewable energy sources such as coal and oil has led to ecological degradation and supply shortages, drawing widespread attention to green and renewable energy. As a green renewable energy source, solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation has experienced rapid development, with installed capacity continuously increasing. In recent years, my country has actively promoted PV power generation and encouraged the construction of mountain PV power stations in non-arable land areas. However, mountainous terrain is complex, with significant elevation changes and poor road conditions. Currently, the construction of mountain PV power stations requires extensive manual labor for tasks such as optimizing the layout of PV modules, selecting the location of PV support columns, and transporting and installing PV modules. During on-site operations, the automation level of equipment is low, making it difficult to efficiently complete multi-scenario operations with manual assistance; the level of information technology in process management is low, making it difficult to monitor the status of equipment in real time and accurately control the work process; and the level of visual supervision at the work site is low, making it difficult to effectively manage dynamic and complex changes in the work environment. The transportation and installation of mountain PV modules have not yet achieved a minimally invasive or unmanned operation, resulting in severe discontinuity in the work process, a large number of personnel involved in the work area, and low efficiency in transportation and installation—problems that urgently need to be addressed.

Step 7: Based on the equipment information and site environment information provided by the physical entity layer, plan the sequence of actions of each piece of equipment to obtain the logical operation results, which can be used for simulation of each virtual equipment twin model in the twin virtual entity layer. Step 8: In the digital twin operation scenario, using the actual equipment operation information provided by the physical entity layer and the data generated by the virtual twin layer, simulate the drilling operation, hoisting operation and material transportation operation in the current virtual operation process, and verify the consistency and reliability of the current virtual operation process. Step 9: After the virtual operation process is verified, the simulation operation data information is converted into control commands to guide the automatic operation of each piece of equipment on site, and the operation information of each piece of equipment on site is synchronously fed back to the twin virtual layer virtual model.
