Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic output prediction method based on micro-topography influence. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for renewable energy continues to grow, photovoltaic power generation has been widely used as a clean and sustainable form of energy. The power generation capacity of photovoltaic power stations is directly affected by environmental factors, especially meteorological conditions. Factors such as radiation intensity, temperature, and wind speed play an important role in the working efficiency and power generation performance of photovoltaic modules. However, in addition to traditional meteorological factors, micro-topography (such as terrain undulations, slope, and slope direction within a small area) also has a significant impact on the output of photovoltaic power stations.

[0003] Micro-topography influence refers to the regulatory effect of terrain on micro-meteorological conditions at a small scale (such as local ups and downs, wind ducts, shadows, etc. inside the power station). This regulatory effect can change the radiation distribution, temperature distribution, local wind speed and other meteorological factors of the photovoltaic power station, thereby affecting the performance of photovoltaic modules. Although the micro-topography effect has an important influence on the design and operation of photovoltaic power stations, most of the existing photovoltaic output prediction methods ignore it, usually only considering the overall meteorological conditions or large-scale terrain features (such as overall slope, altitude, etc.). Although this method can provide a reference for rough output prediction, it lacks sufficient consideration of the micro-topography effect in high-precision photovoltaic output prediction.

[0004] In photovoltaic power stations, the impact of micro-topography on photovoltaic power stations is mainly manifested in three aspects. First, the shielding effect, such as the shadows of surrounding obstacles or highlands, may cause insufficient radiation received by photovoltaic modules; second, the uneven distribution of radiation and the undulating terrain will cause different light intensities in different areas, thus affecting the power generation; finally, local meteorological changes, such as temperature and wind speed, may vary in different terrain areas, which will affect the working efficiency and heat dissipation performance of photovoltaic modules. Therefore, the impact of micro-topography on photovoltaic output is a complex local effect, and traditional photovoltaic output prediction methods often find it difficult to accurately capture such details, resulting in limited prediction accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic output prediction method based on micro-topography influence, which fully considers the influence of micro-topography on photovoltaic output and improves the accuracy of photovoltaic output prediction.

[0015] Step S5, using the optimized photovoltaic output prediction model to predict the photovoltaic output of the photovoltaic power station.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, a corresponding photovoltaic output prediction model is constructed according to multi-level clustering to capture the impact of different micro-topography on photovoltaic output. The expression of the photovoltaic output prediction model is as follows:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] Figure 1This is a flow chart of a photovoltaic output prediction method based on micro-topography influence according to the present invention;

[0045] Figure 2 It is a flow chart of the multi-level clustering method in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The contents mentioned in the implementation modes are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, a photovoltaic output prediction method based on micro-topography influence specifically includes the following steps.

[0048] Step S1, obtaining the terrain and meteorological data of the photovoltaic power station, including longitude and latitude, weather, and altitude, and normalizing the data.

[0049] Preferably, the data is normalized and scaled to a uniform range to accelerate the learning process, avoid numerical problems, improve model accuracy, and ensure weight consistency. The normalization formula is as follows:

[0050] (10)

[0051] In the formula, is the value before normalization; is the normalized value; and are the maximum and minimum values ​​of the physical quantity to be normalized.

[0052] Step S2, considering the direct and indirect effects of micro-topography on photovoltaic output, multi-level clustering is performed on the data obtained in step S1 to construct a photovoltaic output prediction model.

[0053] Microtopography affects photovoltaic output through direct and indirect channels. The direct impact is mainly reflected in factors such as solar radiation, temperature and wind speed. For example, hills and trees may block radiation, resulting in a reduction in the radiation received by photovoltaic panels. Indirect impacts are mainly caused by changes in topography and meteorological patterns. For example, factors such as wind corridor effect, vegetation cover and soil moisture will change the local temperature and humidity environment, thereby affecting photovoltaic output. Specifically, microtopography significantly changes microclimate conditions by affecting factors such as terrain undulation, slope, altitude, vegetation cover, and soil type in local areas. Undulating terrain can affect air flow. Valleys and low-lying areas are prone to accumulate cold air and form lower temperatures, while mountains and slopes cause hot air to rise and the temperature is relatively high. Different slopes receive different amounts of solar radiation. The temperature on the south slope is higher, while the temperature on the north slope is lower. As the altitude increases, the temperature gradually decreases, especially in mountainous areas, where climate change is more dramatic. Vegetation cover also plays an important role in local climate. Forest and grassland areas usually have higher humidity and lower temperatures, while desert or bare land areas have larger temperature differences. Water bodies such as lakes and rivers can form a stable microclimate by regulating humidity and temperature. In addition, especially in mountainous and valley areas, changes in wind speed and direction will also significantly affect local climate conditions such as temperature, humidity and precipitation. At the same time, environmental pollution, air quality and dust deposition will also cause dust to accumulate on the surface of photovoltaic panels, thereby reducing the absorption of solar radiation and further reducing power generation capacity. Further considering whether the photovoltaic power station is located on the coast or at sea, this difference will also affect the microclimate, such as: coastal and offshore areas have higher humidity and cloud cover, faster wind speed, and lower sunshine time and stability than inland areas. These microclimates further affect the stability and output efficiency of photovoltaic output.

[0054] Based on the above analysis, if Figure 2 As shown, multi-level clustering is performed on the data obtained in step S1, as follows:

[0055] The first layer is based on the spatial division of terrain characteristics: the region is divided into several sub-regions according to the overall terrain type and terrain parameters of the region. The micro-topography characteristics in each sub-region are similar, but the micro-topography of each sub-region is different; the overall terrain types include hills, plains, mountains, and plateaus, and the terrain parameters include altitude, slope, and relative undulation. The classification method of this layer is as follows:

[0056] (11)

[0057] In the formula, represents the altitude factor; represents the slope factor; Represents the relative fluctuation factor.

[0058] Mountainous areas: If the altitude is ≥1000, and the slope is >15 or the relative undulation is ≥500, it is classified as mountainous. This covers the situation of "high altitude and steep or undulating terrain" and does not conflict with plateaus.

[0059] Plateau: If the altitude is ≥1000, but the slope is ≤15 and the relative undulation is <500, it is classified as a plateau. Since "mountainous areas" have been determined in advance, only areas with an altitude of ≥1000 but a gentle slope and little undulation will fall into the plateau category.

[0060] Hills: When the conditions of "mountain" and "plateau" are not met (i.e. the altitude is <1000, or at least does not meet the mountain determination), areas with an altitude of 200-800 m, a slope of 5°-15°, and a relative undulation of 200-500 m will be classified as hills.

[0061] Plain: If the above terrain conditions are no longer met, the situation with altitude <200, slope <5°, and relative relief <200 will be classified as plain.

[0062] It is worth mentioning that the above four types of terrain are the most representative terrains. If it is considered that the photovoltaic power station may be located at a location with relatively unique terrain, the present invention can further subdivide the terrain according to actual conditions.

[0063] The second layer is the local pattern division based on meteorological variables: on the basis of the first layer of terrain feature division, combined with the distribution characteristics of local meteorological variables, each sub-area is divided into several micro-meteorological pattern categories, and the meteorological characteristics and terrain characteristics within each pattern are similar; the meteorological variables include precipitation, temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation.

[0064] The third layer refines the sub-array division range within the photovoltaic power station by combining the detailed characteristics of the micro-topography and the factors affecting the performance of the photovoltaic power station components: On the basis of the second layer, the influence of the micro-topography undulations, local slope and orientation on the light reception is evaluated, and the calculation accuracy of the photovoltaic output prediction is optimized. At the same time, the influence of the shading effect and the thermal effect between equipment on the photovoltaic performance, as well as the contribution of the surface albedo to the radiation are considered. The photovoltaic power generation and temperature changes in each sub-area are analyzed in depth, and each sub-area is further subdivided according to these influencing factors to further improve the accuracy of the photovoltaic output prediction.

[0065] The corresponding photovoltaic output prediction model is constructed based on multi-level clustering to capture the impact of different micro-topography on photovoltaic output. The expression of the photovoltaic output prediction model is as follows:
