Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar photovoltaic power generation technology, specifically to a method and related apparatus for calculating the reliable capacity of a photovoltaic power station considering sandstorm weather, and more particularly to a method and related apparatus for calculating the reliable capacity of a photovoltaic power station considering the uncertainty of sandstorm weather. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a technology that directly converts light energy into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect at semiconductor interfaces. Its principle is as follows: when light shines on a solar cell, the light is absorbed at the interface layer. Photons with sufficient energy can excite electrons from covalent bonds in P-type and N-type silicon, generating electron-hole pairs. Before recombination, the electrons and holes near the interface layer are separated by the electric field of the space charge; electrons move towards the positively charged N-region, and holes move towards the negatively charged P-region. This charge separation at the interface layer generates a measurable outward voltage between the P- and N-regions. Electrodes can be added to both sides of the silicon wafer and a voltmeter connected to generate a current. Photovoltaic power generation technology has three major advantages: permanence, cleanliness, and flexibility. It has a long lifespan; as long as the sun exists, solar cells can be used for a long time with a one-time investment. Furthermore, it does not cause environmental pollution. In recent years, with the increasing prominence of the global energy crisis and air pollution problems, photovoltaic power generation technology has developed rapidly. As a clean and sustainable energy source, photovoltaic power generation is being widely applied in various fields. From residential to commercial, industrial, public utilities, and remote areas, photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems have demonstrated unique advantages and value. With continuous technological advancements and sustained policy support, the application prospects of PV power generation will become even broader.

[0003] However, with global climate change, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, especially sandstorms, extreme heat without wind, and extreme cold without sunlight. These extreme and abnormal weather events have a serious impact on new energy power plants such as photovoltaic and wind power. The output of new energy power plants is strongly affected by changes in meteorological factors during extreme weather events. For example, extreme heat without wind will cause the surface temperature of photovoltaic modules to rise, thereby reducing their power generation efficiency. In addition, high temperatures will also accelerate the aging of photovoltaic module encapsulation materials and cables, further affecting power generation performance. Extreme cold without sunlight will lead to insufficient sunlight intensity, causing frost heave in the foundation of photovoltaic power plants, which can damage them. In addition, low temperatures can also affect the performance and lifespan of photovoltaic modules. Especially under sandstorm weather conditions, solar irradiance will be severely reduced, causing short-term and drastic fluctuations in the output of photovoltaic power generation. This can lead to an imbalance between power supply and demand in the power system, which may result in serious grid accidents such as damage to various units and large-scale power outages. This is because under sandstorm weather conditions, the air is filled with a large amount of sand and dust aerosols, which will reduce the solar radiation received by the photovoltaic panels. At the same time, after the sandstorm passes, sand and dust particles will accumulate on the photovoltaic panels, reducing the light transmittance of the photovoltaic panels and causing a severe reduction in photovoltaic output.

[0004] To address the inherent limitation of new energy power generation being dependent on weather conditions, sufficient thermal power units and energy storage equipment are needed to ensure power balance. By calculating the credible capacity of new energy power plants, new energy units can be replaced by conventional units that are not severely affected by weather conditions in subsequent calculations. In other words, the calculation of the credible capacity of photovoltaic power plants equivalences the random new energy model with the deterministic conventional unit model, which is of great significance in subsequent power balance calculations.

[0005] The reliable capacity of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant refers to the stable electrical power output of the plant under specific conditions. This concept fully considers various factors affecting the power generation capacity of the plant, such as solar energy resources, PV module quality, and module layout. Reliable capacity is a crucial indicator for measuring the stable power generation capability of a PV power plant under specific conditions. Due to the severe impact of sandstorms on PV power output, which causes significant fluctuations, traditional methods for calculating the reliable capacity of PV power plants, which rely on statistical analysis to establish a probability distribution model of PV power output, primarily consider average weather conditions and do not adequately account for the impact of extreme weather events. Therefore, they cannot accurately reflect the performance of PV power plants under extreme conditions and cannot meet the requirements for assessing the reliability and stability of PV power generation in the power system during sandstorms.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reliable photovoltaic capacity calculation method that takes into account the uncertainty of sandstorm weather, in order to address the inherent defect of new energy power generation being "dependent on the weather," which is of great significance for optimizing the operation of photovoltaic power generation systems and improving power generation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Furthermore, the method for classifying different output scenarios of photovoltaic power plants under sandstorm weather conditions into typical scenarios and extreme scenarios based on the photovoltaic output model is as follows:

[0024] Based on the photovoltaic power output model, the membership degree of the relative cluster centers is calculated using an improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm.

[0025] The output scenarios where the membership degree of the relative cluster center is higher than a certain threshold are classified as typical scenarios.

[0039] Furthermore, the method for obtaining the reliability index of the actual system and the reliability index of the equivalent system in the corresponding scenarios by performing random production simulations on typical and extreme scenarios respectively is as follows:

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0055] This invention provides a method for calculating the reliable capacity of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant considering sandstorm weather. The method establishes a solar irradiance model and a PV output model. Based on the PV output model, different output scenarios of the PV power plant under sandstorm weather are divided into typical scenarios and extreme scenarios. Random production simulations are performed on both typical and extreme scenarios to obtain the reliability indices of the actual system and the equivalent system for each scenario. Based on the reliability indices of the actual system and the equivalent system for each scenario, the reliable capacity of the PV power plant for each scenario is obtained. This method fully considers the impact of dust particles accumulating on photovoltaic panels after a sandstorm, reducing the light transmittance of the photovoltaic panel glass and thus affecting the solar radiation received. By modifying the light transmittance model of the photovoltaic panel glass, a solar radiation model considering the impact of dust accumulation is established, laying the foundation for the reliable capacity of photovoltaic power plants under sandstorm weather conditions and providing a basis for subsequent scenario classification. By effectively classifying different output conditions under sandstorm weather conditions into typical and extreme scenarios, more accurate input data can be provided for reliable capacity assessment, obtaining the reliability indicators of the actual system and the equivalent system for the corresponding scenarios. The reliable capacity of photovoltaic power plants can be used for system planning and scheduling, improving the reliability of the power system under extreme weather conditions such as sandstorms.

[0056] Furthermore, the scene clustering extraction in this invention employs an improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm. As an unsupervised clustering algorithm combining k-means and fuzzy theory, it measures the similarity between sample points and clusters through fuzzy membership calculation, overcoming the deficiency of traditional k-means clustering methods that fix sample points to a certain cluster. Traditional fuzzy C-means clustering uses Euclidean distance as the standard for judging the membership degree of a sample to a certain cluster. Considering that meteorological information and photovoltaic output are strongly correlated with time series, and that Euclidean distance has certain limitations in mining the similarity of morphological changes in time series, the cosine distance is not affected by the numerical value and can correctly reflect the curve shape and direction, making it a commonly used indicator for characterizing time series similarity. Therefore, the cosine distance is introduced when measuring membership degree. The comprehensive distance composed of Euclidean distance and cosine distance is used as the standard for judging the membership degree of a sample to a certain cluster. The cosine distance, as an indicator for characterizing time series similarity, makes up for the limitations of Euclidean distance in mining the similarity of morphological changes in time series. Therefore, the high and low membership degrees obtained by the improved fuzzy C-means clustering can represent typical and extreme scenarios of dust storms, respectively, and are more suitable for analyzing abnormal dust storm weather.

[0057] Furthermore, the present invention employs serialized modeling for the calculation of reliability indicators for actual systems, which reduces computational complexity and consumes less time than the traditional Monte Carlo method.

[0058] This invention provides a reliable capacity calculation system for photovoltaic power plants considering sandstorm weather. The system establishes a solar irradiance model and a photovoltaic output model, and then divides the scene into modules for solar irradiance model establishment, photovoltaic output model establishment, scene segmentation, reliability index acquisition, and reliable capacity acquisition. It performs the following steps: establishing a solar irradiance model and a photovoltaic output model; dividing the photovoltaic power plant into typical and extreme scenarios under sandstorm weather based on the photovoltaic output model; conducting random production simulations for both typical and extreme scenarios to obtain the reliability indices of the actual system and the equivalent system for each scenario; and finally, obtaining the reliable capacity of the photovoltaic power plant for each scenario based on the reliability indices of the actual and equivalent systems. The system features a simple structure, clear functions, and ease of expansion and maintenance. Through modular design, the system can efficiently process data, improving computational efficiency and accuracy, while also enhancing its flexibility and adaptability. These advantages make the system widely applicable and of significant practical value in the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of photovoltaic power plants.

The device has a simple structure, low modification cost, and minimal resource consumption.

[0070] S1: Establish a solar irradiance model; the solar irradiance model includes a solar irradiance model under clear atmospheric conditions. After a dust storm, dust particles accumulate on the photovoltaic panels, reducing the light transmittance of the photovoltaic glass and thus affecting the solar radiation received. Therefore, by utilizing the absorption, reflection, and scattering effects of dust aerosol particles on solar radiation during a dust storm, the aerosol absorption radiation coefficient in the solar irradiance model under clear atmospheric conditions is corrected to obtain a solar irradiance model considering the effects of dust accumulation. This provides an accurate basis for the subsequent establishment of the photovoltaic power output model. Specifically:

[0071]

[0072] Where, τ d τ represents the light transmittance of the photovoltaic panel glass under dust accumulation conditions. c I represents the light transmittance of the photovoltaic panel glass under clean conditions; erf is the error function; w is the dust density; e1, e2, and e3 are empirical coefficients, taken as e1 = 34.37, e2 = 0.17, and e3 = 0.8473 respectively; j The intensity of solar radiation received by the dust-accumulating photovoltaic panel; I s S2: The intensity of solar radiation received by the photovoltaic panel surface under normal climatic conditions. Based on the solar irradiance model, a photovoltaic output model is established, specifically as follows:

Temperature correction factor, photovoltaic module installation azimuth and tilt angle correction factor, inverter efficiency correction factor, and line correction factor are introduced to improve the accuracy of the photovoltaic output model.

[0079] S3: Based on the photovoltaic power output model, different power output scenarios of photovoltaic power plants under sandstorm weather conditions are divided into typical scenarios and extreme scenarios. An improved fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithm combining Euclidean distance and cosine distance is used to perform cluster analysis on the photovoltaic power output data. Then, based on the clustering results, data with high membership to cluster centers are selected as typical scenarios, and data with low membership are selected as extreme scenarios. Through cluster analysis, different power output situations of photovoltaic power plants under sandstorm weather conditions are effectively divided into typical and extreme scenarios, providing accurate input data for reliability assessment. Specifically:

[0080] Based on the photovoltaic output model, the membership degree of relative cluster centers is calculated using an improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 2 Specifically:

[0081]

[0082] in, x is the center vector of the sample; i For the i-th sample; uik Let be the membership degree of the i-th sample to the k-th cluster; c be the number of clusters; L(c) be the adaptive factor, where the numerator represents the inter-cluster distance and the denominator represents the intra-cluster distance. The convergence condition for the adaptive factor is: L(c) > L(c-1) and L(c) > L(c+1), thus determining the optimal number of clusters c; n be the number of samples; m be the fuzzy weighting parameter, set to 2; v i Let d be the i-th cluster center; ik Let be the Euclidean distance between the i-th sample and the cluster centers of the k-th cluster;

[0083] First, initialize the data so that c = 2 and L(c) = 0. Randomly initialize the membership matrix U. Then, determine the cluster centers v according to formulas (6) to (8). i and the center vector of the sample Calculate the Euclidean distance d from each sample point to the cluster center of each cluster. ik and cosine distance Based on the Euclidean distance d from each sample point to the cluster center of each cluster ik and cosine distance Calculate the composite distance ρ i k, and update the membership matrix U again, check if ||U(k+1)-U(k)||<ε holds. If not, let n=n+1, and re-initialize the membership matrix randomly. If yes, check if the adaptive factor converges. If the adaptive factor does not converge, let c=c+1 to redetermine the cluster center V and the center vector of the sample. If the adaptive factor converges, the clusters and the membership degrees of each sample to the cluster centers are obtained; where ε is the condition for determining convergence.

[0084] Specifically, the Euclidean distance D = {d} from each sample point to the cluster center of each cluster is calculated. i1 ,d i2 ,…,d ik ,…,d ic The method is as follows:

[0085]

[0086] x ij v represents the j-th data point of the i-th sample; k j represents the j-th data point of the k-th cluster center;

[0087] Calculate the cosine distance of the included angle And together with the Euclidean distance, they form a combined distance ρ ik :

[0088]

[0089] Where, d ik x is the Euclidean distance between the i-th sample and the k-th cluster center; ij v represents the j-th data point of the i-th sample; kj The j-th data point is the k-th cluster center; ρ is the cosine distance of the included angle; i k is the combined distance of the i-th sample to the k-th cluster; β is the scaling factor; 1-σ is the weight of the Euclidean distance, σ is the weight of the cosine distance, and β is the factor that reduces the Euclidean distance by a certain factor so that the cosine distance and the Euclidean distance are on the same order of magnitude.

[0090] Based on the calculated comprehensive distance ρ ik Update the membership matrix:

[0091]

[0092] Where, ρ ik Let be the combined distance between the i-th sample and the k-th cluster;

[0093] Finally, output scenarios with a membership degree relative to the cluster centers higher than a certain threshold are classified as typical scenarios; output scenarios with a membership degree relative to the cluster centers lower than a certain threshold are classified as extreme scenarios. See also Figure 3 The membership degree of each sample represents its relative distance to the nearest cluster center, forming a distribution like this: Figure 3 The clustering results show that the more similar a data point is to its cluster center, the higher its membership degree and the closer it is to the cluster center. Data with high membership degrees to cluster centers are considered typical scenarios, while data with low membership degrees are considered extreme scenarios. One type of data with high membership degrees relative to the cluster centers is extracted as a typical sandstorm scenario, resulting in the following: Figure 4 The power-time curve;

[0094] S4: Perform stochastic production simulations for typical and extreme scenarios to obtain the reliability indices of the actual system and the equivalent system for each scenario. The actual system includes photovoltaic units, energy storage devices, and loads. Resources and demand are defined as follows: generator units and energy storage devices are considered resources, and loads and energy storage devices are considered demands. Calculate availability margin and consumption margin: the probability distribution of available power is the availability margin, and the probability distribution of power consumed by demand is the consumption margin. Stochastic production simulations are performed on the actual system under both typical and extreme scenarios to calculate the reliability index, i.e., the expected value of electricity deficit (EENS). Specifically:

[0095] Typical and extreme scenarios are extracted separately to perform serialized modeling of system components, obtaining the photovoltaic power station availability margin sequence and photovoltaic power station load consumption margin sequence for the corresponding scenarios. The photovoltaic power station availability margin sequence includes the generator set availability margin sequence and the energy storage availability margin sequence; the photovoltaic power station load consumption margin sequence includes the generator set load consumption margin sequence and the energy storage consumption margin sequence. Serialized modeling includes generator set serialization, energy storage device serialization, and load serialization. The generator set serialization involves discretizing the output of the photovoltaic generator set, defining the discretization step size, and obtaining the photovoltaic unit... The output power probability distribution sequence; the energy storage device serialization considers the charging and discharging constraints of the energy storage device, performs probability statistics on its historical output, and obtains the probability distribution of equivalent power; the load serialization analyzes historical load data, considers the load peak-valley difference, and obtains the load consumption margin sequence. The following definitions are made for the sequence operation: generator sets and energy storage devices are resources; loads and energy storage devices are demands; the probability distribution of available power of resources is the availability margin; the probability distribution of power consumed by demand is the consumption margin; when the availability margin equals the consumption margin, the system is in power balance, i.e., supply and demand balance. Specifically:

Let C be the reliability index of the actual system. max =C pv C min =0, where C pv The capacity of the photovoltaic (PV) unit is given; the PV units in the actual system are removed and replaced with equivalent conventional units (such as thermal power units), with the equivalent conventional unit capacity C. ge n=(C max +C min The system is then subjected to a random production simulation (the system after the unit replacement is called the equivalent system), and the reliability index EENS' of the equivalent system is calculated. Subsequently, it is determined whether the error between the reliability index of the actual system and the equivalent system is within the allowable range. If so, the reliable capacity of the actual system is obtained, which is the equivalent conventional unit capacity of the equivalent system. Otherwise, the binary iterative method is used to update C. max and C min The value of is used to replace the equivalent conventional unit and conduct another random production simulation to obtain a new round of equivalent system reliability index EENS'; σ is the allowable error, C max and C minAll are intermediate variables.

At this time, the total capacity of the equivalent conventional unit of the equivalent system is the reliable capacity of the actual system.
