[0002] As the global demand for clean energy continues to grow, photovoltaic power generation, as an important renewable energy technology, has been widely used. However, photovoltaic power generation equipment is usually distributed over a wide area, and the traditional manual inspection method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to detect equipment failures in a timely manner.

[0003] A photovoltaic power generation fault diagnosis system based on a photovoltaic physical model is proposed in the Chinese invention patent application number: CN201310419630.8, which is connected to the photovoltaic system to be monitored. The photovoltaic power generation fault diagnosis system includes an environmental parameter acquisition device, a photovoltaic system parameter acquisition device, a signal converter and a fault diagnosis subsystem. In the present invention, when the photovoltaic system is running, the environmental parameter acquisition device acquires the photovoltaic system environmental parameters at preset intervals, and transmits the environmental parameters to the fault diagnosis subsystem after conversion by the signal converter; at the same time, the photovoltaic system parameter acquisition device acquires the photovoltaic system parameters at preset intervals, and transmits the environmental parameters to the fault diagnosis subsystem after conversion by the signal converter; the fault diagnosis subsystem performs calculations and fault condition judgments based on the obtained parameters, and outputs the results. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the advantages of fewer required calculation parameters, simple line laying and modification, and low cost, and realizes safe and reliable monitoring and fault diagnosis of the photovoltaic system.

This may cause sudden failures in the equipment during operation, resulting in increased equipment downtime, affecting power generation efficiency and economic benefits.

[0006] In addition, the existing fault diagnosis technology is relatively backward, and often the fault can only be diagnosed and repaired after it has occurred and caused certain damage to the equipment. This post-processing method not only increases the maintenance cost, but may also shorten the service life of the equipment.

[0007] Moreover, the existing monitoring system is not perfect in remote control and management functions and cannot meet the actual needs. The staff needs to frequently go to the site for operation and inspection, which increases labor costs and work difficulty.

[0008] At the same time, for the maintenance of equipment, the existing technology lacks effective prediction and planning capabilities, and maintenance is often carried out only after the equipment fails, resulting in the lack of planning and targeting of maintenance work, affecting the normal operation and reliability of the equipment.

Obtaining current data of the device: obtaining current operating data of the photovoltaic power generation device from the data processing module, including voltage, current, power, and temperature parameters; Step 63. Query the fault history record: query the fault information of the photovoltaic power generation equipment in the past in the fault history record module, including the fault time, type, and processing method; Step 64. Comparative analysis: Compare and analyze the current data of the equipment with the historical fault records to find the fault mode and characteristics; compare the current data with the characteristics of a historical fault, refer to the handling method of the historical fault, and preliminarily determine the fault type and cause; Step 65. Determine the fault type and cause: Through the above analysis and judgment, the fault type and cause of the photovoltaic power generation equipment are finally determined; Step 66. Generate diagnostic report: organize the fault diagnosis results, including fault type, cause, and impact assessment information, into a detailed diagnostic report and transmit it to the monitoring center.
