[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a solution for a power plant with high temperature adaptability, comprising the following steps:

[0033] Step 1: Divide the power station into control area, high-voltage equipment area, low-voltage equipment area, and auxiliary equipment area according to their functions. The control area is responsible for monitoring the operating status of the entire power system and performing corresponding control operations. It is equipped with monitoring systems, protection devices and other equipment to achieve real-time monitoring and remote control of the power system. The high-voltage equipment area includes key equipment such as high-voltage switchgear, transformers, and mutual inductors. These equipment are responsible for converting high voltage into low voltage or vice versa to meet the needs of different users. The low-voltage equipment area is mainly responsible for further distributing the low voltage converted by the high-voltage equipment area to users. This area includes low-voltage switchgear, distribution boards, capacitors and other equipment, while the auxiliary equipment area includes ventilation systems, drainage systems, lighting systems, etc., to provide necessary support for the normal operation of the power station;

[0034] Step 2: The control area is evenly distributed with temperature and humidity sensing modules to detect the temperature and humidity in the control area, and a radiation cooling membrane module is set. The radiation cooling technology is used to reflect the heat of the solar radiation irradiated on the surface of the power station through the 8-13μm infrared band, so that the control area of ​​the power station is passively cooled without consuming energy, which greatly reduces the operating cost; the high-voltage equipment area and the low-voltage equipment area are both equipped with a fixed-point temperature control and drying system to cool and dehumidify different equipment inside the area. The fixed-point temperature control and drying system includes a thermal infrared image module and an intelligent rapid condenser. The thermal infrared image module plays a role in temperature measurement. The thermal infrared detector collects and records the thermal infrared radiation information radiated by the ground objects that is invisible to the human eye, and uses this thermal infrared information to identify the ground objects and invert surface parameters (such as temperature, emissivity, humidity, thermal inertia, etc.); the auxiliary equipment area is evenly distributed with temperature and humidity sensing modules, and an intelligent ventilation system is set to adjust the ventilation intensity according to the regional temperature and humidity;

[0035] Step 3: The control area is provided with a temperature and humidity control module for controlling and receiving the temperature and humidity sensing module, and feeding back the received information to the power station manager. The temperature and humidity control module is connected to the temperature and humidity sensing module and the thermal infrared imaging module, and controls the operation of the radiation cooling membrane module, the intelligent fast condensing machine, and the intelligent ventilation system based on the temperature and humidity information.

[0036] further, like Figure 4 As shown, The radiation cooling film module is located on the outer shell surface of the control area, and the radiation cooling film module includes a carrier plate module and a composite film module. The carrier plate module is fixed to the outer shell surface of the control area in a snap-fitting manner. The back of the carrier plate module is symmetrically provided with clips. The clips are elastic due to the material characteristics, so that the clips can be interference-fitted with the clip grooves of the outer shell on the surface of the control area, thereby achieving a snap-fitting effect, which is convenient for later replacement of the radiation cooling film module. The carrier plate module is made of plastic, and the composite film module reflects the heat of the solar radiation irradiated on the surface of the power station through the 8-13μm infrared band, so that the control area of ​​the power station is passively cooled without consuming energy, thereby greatly reducing operating costs.

[0037] Furthermore, three-dimensional dot models are established for the high-voltage equipment area and the low-voltage equipment area, and reference points are evenly distributed on the three-dimensional dot models. The thermal infrared image module includes temperature data of each pixel point, and the position of each pixel point corresponds to the position of the reference point. The specific locations with higher temperature and humidity in the high-voltage equipment area and the low-voltage equipment area can be known, so that the temperature and humidity control module controls the intelligent rapid condensation machine that is closer to start working, and quickly condenses and cools the positioning point.

[0038] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent rapid condensing machine is evenly distributed in the high-voltage equipment area and the low-voltage equipment area, and the intelligent rapid condensing machine is connected to the thermal infrared imaging module through a wireless communication protocol, and the intelligent rapid condensing machine is divided into an automatic mode and a manual mode. In the automatic mode, when the thermal infrared imaging module detects that the temperature of a certain reference point becomes high, it directly controls the nearby intelligent rapid condensing machine to work, and quickly condenses and cools down the surrounding high temperature; in the manual mode, when the thermal infrared imaging module detects that the temperature of a certain reference point becomes high, it feeds back to the temperature and humidity control module, and the temperature and humidity control module feeds back information to the person in charge of the power station. The person judges whether the equipment fails according to the temperature and humidity values. If it is a fault, someone is sent for maintenance. If it is normal temperature rise, the intelligent rapid condensing machine is controlled to quickly cool down.

[0039] Furthermore, the inverter positions in the high-voltage equipment area and the inverter positions in the low-voltage equipment area are both symmetrically provided with lightning protection devices, which play a good role in lightning protection. The DC side of the circuit in the high-voltage equipment area is provided with a linear arc detection module, which is mainly used to prevent fire and ensure system safety.

[0040] Furthermore, the circuit connections of the high-voltage equipment area and the low-voltage equipment area both use high-temperature cables, which are resistant to high temperature, corrosion, aging, and have excellent electrical insulation and flame retardancy, and are suitable for various occasions requiring special requirements such as high temperature, corrosion resistance, and waterproofing. The entry and exit holes of the high-temperature cables are sealed with fire-retardant mud, and the entry and exit ends of the high-temperature cables are painted with fire-retardant paint to increase fire resistance and improve the safety of the power station.

[0041] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, the intelligent ventilation system includes an air supply device, a control device and an exhaust device, the control device is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity control module, the air supply device and the exhaust device, respectively, and a first preset value and a second preset value are set in the control device, the power of the air supply device and the exhaust device set in the first preset value is less than the power of the air supply device and the exhaust device set in the second preset value, the temperature and humidity sensing module detects the temperature in the auxiliary equipment area, and transmits the temperature and humidity information to the temperature and humidity control module, and the temperature and humidity control module transmits the information to the control device, so that external cold air enters the auxiliary equipment area under the action of the air supply device, and the hot air inside the auxiliary equipment area is discharged to the outside under the action of the exhaust device.

[0042] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, a patrol robot is provided in the power station to patrol and measure the temperature and humidity of the control area, high-voltage equipment area, low-voltage equipment area, and auxiliary equipment area. The patrol robot is connected to the temperature and humidity control module via a wireless communication protocol. The patrol robot conducts regular inspections of the power station under extreme environments, comprehensively controls the temperature and humidity of each area of ​​the power station, and feeds back to the temperature and humidity control module for temperature regulation. There is no need for manual patrol and regulation, thus reducing manpower waste.

[0043] Working process: First, the temperature and humidity sensing module and the thermal infrared image module detect the temperature and humidity changes in the relevant area; further, in the high-voltage equipment area and the low-voltage equipment area, in the automatic mode, when the thermal infrared image module detects that the temperature of a certain reference point has increased, it directly controls the nearby intelligent rapid condensation machine to work, and quickly condenses and cools the surrounding high temperature; further, in the manual mode, when the thermal infrared image module detects that the temperature of a certain reference point has increased, it is fed back to the temperature and humidity control module, and the temperature and humidity control module feeds back information to the person in charge of the power station, and the person judges whether the equipment is faulty according to the temperature and humidity values. If it is a fault, someone is sent for maintenance. If it is normal heating, the intelligent rapid condensation machine is controlled to quickly cool down; at the same time, in the auxiliary equipment area, the temperature and humidity sensing module detects the temperature in the auxiliary equipment area, and transmits the temperature and humidity information to the temperature and humidity control module, and then the temperature and humidity control module transmits the information to the control device; further, the control device selects the working power according to the temperature and humidity values, so that the external cold air enters the auxiliary equipment area under the action of the air supply device, and the hot air inside the auxiliary equipment area is discharged to the outside under the action of the exhaust device.
