Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method, device, and computer storage medium for switching photovoltaic power plant models, belonging to the field of photovoltaic power plant model switching simulation technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing global demand for renewable energy, photovoltaic (PV) power plants have attracted much attention as a sustainable and clean energy solution. To more effectively plan, operate, and optimize PV power plants, researchers in this industry face the challenge of developing various models to simulate and analyze the performance and behavior of PV power plants. Simplified models and detailed models are two main modeling methods used to simulate the operating conditions of PV power plants under different circumstances.
[0003] Simplified models are generally suitable for preliminary assessments and rapid decision-making. Although their accuracy is relatively low, they are computationally efficient and valuable for estimating large-scale operating conditions. Detailed models are better suited for precise performance analysis and power plant optimization. Their higher complexity allows for more accurate simulation of the dynamic behavior of various components of a photovoltaic power plant under different conditions, but they require longer computation times and more computational resources. When facing complex operating conditions, choosing an appropriate model can significantly reduce the time and resources required for simulation while maintaining accuracy. Summary of the Invention
