[0056] With the continuous growth of global energy demand and the increasingly severe environmental problems, photovoltaic power generation, as a clean and renewable energy form, has received extensive attention. Distributed photovoltaic power generation systems are widely used in scenarios such as rooftops and building facades due to their flexibility and adaptability. However, existing distributed photovoltaic management methods still have many deficiencies in terms of operation efficiency, data collection and analysis, system optimization, etc., and there is an urgent need to propose an innovative management method to improve system performance.

[0057] Traditional photovoltaic management methods mainly rely on a single data source (such as meteorological data or local sensor data) for power generation prediction and system management. It is difficult to comprehensively reflect the operating status of photovoltaic modules in a complex environment, resulting in the difficulty of further improving the operating efficiency and reliability of photovoltaic power generation systems.

[0065] Management information generation: Generate management information for each photovoltaic module according to the operating data, future shadow distribution heat map, and hybrid topology structure, including tilt angle adjustment information, to achieve distributed management of multiple photovoltaic modules.

[0066] By installing a multi-modal sensor array on the photovoltaic module, the light intensity, temperature, IV curve, and hot spot imaging data are collected in real time. The sensor data is combined with the fused satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data, and through spatio-temporal attention prediction network analysis, the future shadow distribution is predicted.

The execution device of the method is the control module of the distributed photovoltaic module power generation management system provided by any embodiment of this application.

[0070] As Figure 2 shown, the provided method includes steps S101 to S105. Among them, the control module can be a handheld terminal, a laptop, a wearable device, or a robot, etc. It is used to implement steps S101 to S105 and their corresponding embodiments.

[0071] Step S101. Obtain the operation data of multiple photovoltaic modules collected by the multi-modal sensor array; the multi-modal sensor array includes a light intensity sensor, a temperature sensor, an IV curve detector, and a hot spot imager.

[0072] Specifically, the core of step S101 is to collect the operation data of the photovoltaic module through the multi-modal sensor array. The multi-modal sensor array includes a light intensity sensor, a temperature sensor, an IV curve detector, and a hot spot imager. These sensors monitor the operation state of the photovoltaic module from different dimensions:

[0073] Light intensity sensor: Monitors the light intensity received by the photovoltaic module in real time, providing basic data for the evaluation of power generation efficiency;

[0074] Temperature sensor: Monitors the surface temperature of the photovoltaic module. Excessive temperature will reduce the power generation efficiency and accelerate the aging of the module;

[0075] IV curve detector: Evaluates the electrical performance of the photovoltaic module by measuring the current-voltage curve, and discovers potential faults or performance degradation;

[0076] Hot spot imager: Detects whether there is a hot spot phenomenon in the photovoltaic module through infrared imaging technology. Hot spots will reduce the module life and pose safety hazards.

[0077] Install a multi-modal sensor array on each photovoltaic module to ensure that the sensors can accurately collect data. Transmit the sensor data to the control module through wired or wireless communication technologies (such as LoRa, ZigBee or 5G). The control module preprocesses the data, including denoising, formatting and storage, providing high-quality data for subsequent analysis.

[0078] Comprehensively monitor the status of the photovoltaic module from multiple dimensions such as light, temperature, electrical performance and thermal imaging through multi-modal sensors, avoiding the limitations of a single data source. Real-time data collection can promptly detect abnormal states of the photovoltaic module, such as hot spots or performance degradation, facilitating quick response and handling. Provide reliable data support for subsequent shadow prediction, topology optimization and management information generation.

[0079] Step S102. Obtain the fused satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data corresponding to multiple photovoltaic modules.

[0080] Specifically, the core of step S102 is to obtain the environmental information of the area where the photovoltaic module is located by fusing the satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data.

[0081] Satellite cloud map: Provides large-scale meteorological data, such as cloud cover, light intensity and weather change trends.

[0082] UAV aerial photography data: Provides high-precision local environmental information, such as the location and height of obstacles such as buildings and trees.

[0083] Obtain the satellite cloud map data of the area where the photovoltaic module is located from the meteorological satellite. Use the UAV to conduct aerial photography of the area where the photovoltaic module is located to obtain high-resolution environmental data. Fuse the satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data to generate comprehensive environmental data containing large-scale meteorological information and local occlusion information.

[0084] By integrating data, comprehensively understand the environmental characteristics of the area where the photovoltaic modules are located, including weather changes and the distribution of obstacles. Provide high-precision input data for subsequent shadow distribution prediction and improve prediction accuracy. The system can dynamically adjust the operation strategy of the photovoltaic modules according to environmental changes, enhancing the overall adaptability.

[0085] Step S103. Input the fused satellite cloud image and UAV aerial photography data into a preset spatio-temporal attention prediction network to output a future shadow distribution heat map.

[0086] Specifically, the core of step S103 is to use the spatio-temporal attention prediction network to predict the future shadow distribution based on the fused data. The spatio-temporal attention prediction network is a deep learning model that can capture complex relationships in the time and space dimensions and is suitable for shadow prediction in the area where the photovoltaic modules are located.

[0087] Input the fused satellite cloud image and UAV aerial photography data into the spatio-temporal attention prediction network. The model analyzes historical data and current environmental characteristics to predict the shadow distribution situation in the future for a period of time. Output a future shadow distribution heat map, which visually shows the location, range, and intensity of the shadows.

[0088] The spatio-temporal attention prediction network can capture complex environmental changes, provide high-precision shadow distribution prediction. The prediction results can early warn of the impact of shadows on the photovoltaic modules, facilitating the adoption of adjustment measures. Provide key input for subsequent topology optimization and management information generation, improving the system operation efficiency.

[0089] Step S104. Obtain the node contribution degree corresponding to each photovoltaic module, and construct a hybrid topology structure corresponding to multiple photovoltaic modules according to each node contribution degree.

[0090] Specifically, the core of step S104 is to construct a hybrid topology structure according to the node contribution degree of the photovoltaic modules. The node contribution degree refers to the importance of each photovoltaic module in the overall system, usually evaluated based on factors such as power generation efficiency, location, and environmental impact.

[0091] Calculate the node contribution degree of each photovoltaic module based on historical operation data and environmental characteristics. Based on the node contribution degree, divide the photovoltaic modules into different groups and construct a hybrid topology structure. The hybrid topology structure can be a star, mesh, or hierarchical structure, and the specific form is determined according to actual needs.

[0092] By constructing a hybrid topology structure, optimize the layout and connection method of the photovoltaic modules, improving the overall efficiency of the system. Reasonably allocate resources according to the node contribution degree to ensure that important components are preferentially managed. The hybrid topology structure can adapt to different environments and operation requirements, enhancing the flexibility of the system.

[0093] Step S105. Generate management information corresponding to each photovoltaic module based on the operation data, future shadow distribution heat map, and hybrid topology structure of multiple photovoltaic modules; the management information at least includes the tilt angle adjustment information of the photovoltaic module; complete the distributed management of multiple photovoltaic modules.

[0094] Specifically, the core of step S105 is to generate management information for each photovoltaic module based on the operation data, shadow distribution heat map, and hybrid topology structure. The management information includes tilt angle adjustment information, cleaning and maintenance suggestions, and fault handling solutions, etc.

[0095] Comprehensively analyze the operation data, shadow distribution heat map, and hybrid topology structure to evaluate the operation status of each photovoltaic module. Generate management information for each photovoltaic module, such as adjusting the tilt angle to optimize light reception, or arranging cleaning and maintenance to remove obstacles. Send the management information to the execution device (such as a robot or an automatic adjustment device) through the control module to complete the distributed management.

[0096] The management information generated based on multi-dimensional data can accurately optimize the operation status of each photovoltaic module. By executing the management information through automated devices, manual intervention is reduced, and the operation and maintenance costs are lowered. Through dynamic adjustment and optimization, the overall efficiency and reliability of the photovoltaic power generation system are improved.

[0097] Steps S101 to S105 together constitute a distributed photovoltaic module power generation management method based on the Internet of Things. Through multi-modal data collection, environmental perception, shadow prediction, topology structure optimization, and intelligent management, the system can significantly improve the operation efficiency and reliability of the photovoltaic power generation system, providing strong technical support for the efficient utilization of clean energy.

[0098] In some embodiments, the inputting of the fused satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data into the preset spatio-temporal attention prediction network includes: respectively obtaining the geographical coordinate systems corresponding to the fused satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data; aligning the fused satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data spatially and temporally according to the geographical coordinate systems; adjusting the resolutions of the fused satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data based on interpolation or downsampling techniques; respectively extracting satellite feature information and aerial photography feature information from the adjusted fused satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data; the satellite feature information at least includes cloud layer distribution and cloud layer thickness; the aerial photography feature information at least includes terrain features and obstacle features; inputting the satellite feature information and aerial photography feature information into the spatio-temporal attention prediction network to output the future shadow distribution heat map.

[0099] The core of this embodiment is to preprocess and extract features from the fused satellite cloud map and UAV aerial photography data to improve the quality of the input data of the spatio-temporal attention prediction network, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of the future shadow distribution heat map. The specific steps are as follows:

[0100] Extract geographic coordinate system information, such as longitude and latitude, altitude, etc., from satellite cloud images and UAV aerial photography data respectively. Ensure that the geographic coordinate systems of the two data are consistent for subsequent spatial alignment.

[0101] According to the geographic coordinate system, spatially align the satellite cloud images and UAV aerial photography data to ensure that they can match at the same geographical location. Align the timestamps to ensure that the time dimensions of the two data are consistent (such as the same day, the same moment, or the same time period).

[0102] Use interpolation or downsampling techniques to adjust the resolutions of the satellite cloud images and UAV aerial photography data to make their spatial resolutions consistent. For example, downsample the high-resolution UAV aerial photography data to the same resolution as the satellite cloud images, or interpolate the low-resolution satellite cloud images to a high resolution.

[0103] Extract satellite feature information from the adjusted satellite cloud images, including cloud distribution, cloud thickness, cloud movement speed, etc. Extract aerial photography feature information from the adjusted UAV aerial photography data, including topographic features (such as slope and aspect) and occlusion features (such as the height and position of buildings and trees).

[0104] Input the extracted satellite feature information and aerial photography feature information into the spatio-temporal attention prediction network. The network analyzes these feature information, captures the impacts of clouds and occlusions on photovoltaic modules, and outputs a future shadow distribution heat map.

[0105] Through geographic coordinate alignment and resolution adjustment, ensure the consistency of satellite cloud images and UAV aerial photography data in the spatial and time dimensions, providing high-quality input data for subsequent analysis.

[0106] The feature information (such as cloud distribution and occlusion features) extracted from satellite cloud images and UAV aerial photography data can comprehensively reflect the environmental features of the area where the photovoltaic modules are located, improving the richness of the input information of the spatio-temporal attention prediction network. Based on high-precision feature information, the spatio-temporal attention prediction network can more accurately predict the future shadow distribution, reduce prediction errors, and provide a reliable basis for the operation optimization of photovoltaic modules. The embodiment can effectively handle shadow prediction problems in complex environments, such as cloudy weather, terrain undulation, and uneven occlusion distribution, improving the adaptability and robustness of the system. Adjust the resolution through interpolation or downsampling techniques to reduce the data volume, lower the computational complexity of the spatio-temporal attention prediction network, and improve the prediction efficiency.

[0107] In cloudy weather, the rapid movement of clouds will cause the light intensity received by photovoltaic modules to change frequently. Through extracting cloud distribution and thickness information, Embodiment 1 can accurately predict the shadow impact of clouds on photovoltaic modules, facilitating the early adjustment of the module tilt angle or operation strategy.

[0108] In mountainous or urban environments, terrain undulations and obstacles such as buildings and trees can have a significant impact on the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic modules. Through the extraction of terrain features and obstacle features, the embodiments can accurately predict the shadow distribution caused by these factors and optimize the layout and operation of photovoltaic modules. It can monitor environmental changes in real time (such as cloud movement, addition or removal of obstacles), dynamically update the heat map of shadow distribution, and ensure that the photovoltaic modules are always in the best operating state.

[0109] Through the preprocessing and feature extraction of the fused satellite cloud image and UAV aerial photography data, the embodiments significantly improve the quality of the input data of the spatio-temporal attention prediction network, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of the future heat map of shadow distribution. This method has significant advantages in scenarios such as cloudy weather, complex terrain, and dynamic environments, and can provide reliable environmental perception and operation optimization support for the distributed photovoltaic module power generation management system, ultimately improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.

[0110] Exemplarily, the spatio-temporal attention prediction network includes a convolutional layer, a long short-term memory layer, and an attention module; the inputting of the satellite feature information and the aerial photography feature information into the spatio-temporal attention prediction network to output the future heat map of shadow distribution includes: respectively inputting the satellite feature information and the aerial photography feature information into the convolutional layer and the long short-term memory layer, the convolutional layer outputs the spatial features corresponding to the satellite feature information and the aerial photography feature information, and the long short-term memory layer outputs the time feature sequences corresponding to the satellite feature information and the aerial photography feature information; respectively inputting the spatial features and the time feature sequences into the attention module, the attention module respectively outputs time attention information and spatial attention information; the time attention information is used to determine the key change moments in the time feature sequence; the spatial attention information is used to determine the occlusion region features corresponding to the spatial features; and outputting the future heat map of shadow distribution according to the occlusion region features and the key change moments.

[0111] This example details the structure and working process of the spatio-temporal attention prediction network. This network consists of a convolutional layer, a long short-term memory layer (LSTM), and an attention module, aiming to extract spatial and time features from satellite feature information and aerial photography feature information, and capture key change moments and occlusion region features through the attention mechanism, and finally output the future heat map of shadow distribution. The specific steps are as follows:

[0112] Respectively input the satellite feature information (such as cloud distribution, cloud thickness) and the aerial photography feature information (such as terrain features, obstacle features) into the spatio-temporal attention prediction network.

[0113] The convolutional layer is used to extract the spatial features of the input feature information. Convolutional operations are performed on the satellite feature information and the aerial photography feature information respectively, and the corresponding spatial features are output. The spatial features can reflect the environmental features of the area where the photovoltaic module is located, such as the spatial distribution of clouds and the positions of obstacles.

[0114] The long short-term memory layer (LSTM) is used to extract the time feature sequence of the input feature information. LSTM processing is performed on the satellite feature information and the aerial photography feature information respectively, and the corresponding time feature sequences are output. The time feature sequence can reflect the changing trend of environmental features over time, such as the moving speed of clouds and the dynamic changes of obstacles.

[0115] The spatial features output by the convolutional layer and the time feature sequence output by the LSTM layer are respectively input into the attention module. The attention module includes a time attention mechanism and a spatial attention mechanism. Time attention mechanism: Analyze the time feature sequence to determine the key change moments (such as the moments when clouds move rapidly or new obstacles appear). Spatial attention mechanism: Analyze the spatial features to determine the features of the occlusion area (such as the position and range of obstacles). The attention module outputs time attention information and spatial attention information respectively. According to the time attention information and the spatial attention information, combined with the features of the occlusion area and the key change moments, a future shadow distribution heat map is generated. The heat map visually displays the position, range, and intensity of shadows in the future for a period of time.

[0116] The convolutional layer and the long short-term memory layer respectively extract spatial features and time features, which can comprehensively reflect the environmental changes in the area where the photovoltaic module is located. The time attention mechanism can capture the key change moments in the time feature sequence, such as the moments when clouds move rapidly or new obstacles appear, providing key time nodes for shadow prediction. The spatial attention mechanism can identify the features of the occlusion area in the spatial features, such as the position and range of obstacles, providing key spatial information for shadow prediction. By combining the time attention information and the spatial attention information, the spatio-temporal attention prediction network can more accurately predict the future shadow distribution and reduce the prediction error. The method can process dynamic environmental changes (such as cloud movement, new appearance or removal of obstacles) in real time, dynamically update the shadow distribution heat map, and ensure the timeliness and accuracy of the prediction results. The attention mechanism can focus on the key change moments and the features of the occlusion area, reduce unnecessary calculations, and improve the prediction efficiency.

[0117] Under cloudy weather conditions, the rapid movement of clouds will cause the light intensity received by the photovoltaic module to change frequently. By capturing the critical moments of cloud movement through the time attention mechanism and combining the spatial attention mechanism to identify the spatial distribution of clouds, the shadow impact of clouds on the photovoltaic module can be accurately predicted.

[0118] In mountainous or urban environments, terrain undulations and obstacles such as buildings and trees can have a significant impact on the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic modules. By using a spatial attention mechanism to identify the location and extent of obstacles and combining it with a temporal attention mechanism to capture the dynamic changes of obstacles, the shadow distribution caused by these factors can be accurately predicted. Examples can monitor environmental changes in real time (such as cloud movement, addition or removal of obstacles), dynamically update the heat map of shadow distribution, and ensure that the photovoltaic modules are always in the best operating state.

[0119] By combining convolutional layers, long short-term memory layers, and attention modules, the spatial and temporal features of the area where the photovoltaic modules are located are comprehensively captured, and the key change moments and the features of the occluded areas are accurately located through the attention mechanism. Finally, a high-precision heat map of future shadow distribution is output. This method has significant advantages in scenarios such as cloudy weather, complex terrain, and dynamic environments, and can provide reliable environmental perception and operation optimization support for the distributed photovoltaic module power generation management system, ultimately improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.

[0120] It should be noted that in some embodiments, outputting the heat map of future shadow distribution according to the occluded area features and key change moments includes: obtaining the shadow distribution influence weight corresponding to the occluded area features; obtaining the environmental change information corresponding to the key change moments; the environmental change information at least includes cloud movement and solar incident angle change; adjusting the shadow distribution influence weight according to the environmental change information; generating the heat map of future shadow distribution according to the adjusted shadow distribution influence weight.

[0121] The process of generating the heat map of future shadow distribution according to the occluded area features and key change moments is further refined. This method dynamically adjusts the shadow distribution prediction result by introducing the shadow distribution influence weight and environmental change information, thereby improving the accuracy and practicality of the heat map. The specific steps are as follows:

[0122] According to the occluded area features (such as the location, height, and extent of the obstacle), calculate the influence weight on the shadow distribution of the photovoltaic module. The influence weight reflects the degree of influence of the obstacle on the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic module. For example, a tall building may have a larger influence weight.

[0123] Extract the key change moments from the temporal attention information and obtain the corresponding environmental change information. The environmental change information includes cloud movement speed, cloud thickness change, solar incident angle change, etc. These information can reflect the dynamic influence of the environment on the shadow distribution of the photovoltaic module.

[0124] Dynamically adjust the influence weight of the occlusion area characteristics according to the environmental change information. For example, when the clouds move rapidly, the influence weight of the occluder may decrease; when the solar incident angle changes, the shadow range of the occluder may expand or shrink. Generate a future shadow distribution heat map according to the adjusted influence weight of the shadow distribution. The heat map visually displays the position, range, and intensity of the shadows within a future period of time, facilitating the optimization of the operation of photovoltaic modules.

[0125] By introducing environmental change information and dynamically adjusting the influence weight of the shadow distribution, it can more accurately reflect the dynamic influence of the environment on the shadow distribution of photovoltaic modules. Combining the occlusion area characteristics and environmental change information can generate a more accurate future shadow distribution heat map, reducing prediction errors. It can effectively handle shadow prediction problems in complex environments, such as cloudy weather, terrain undulations, and uneven occluder distributions, improving the adaptability and robustness of the system. The high-precision future shadow distribution heat map provides a reliable basis for the operation optimization of photovoltaic modules, such as adjusting the module tilt angle or cleaning and maintenance arrangements, enhancing the overall power generation efficiency. By accurately predicting the shadow distribution, unnecessary operation and maintenance operations are reduced, and the operation and maintenance costs of the photovoltaic power generation system are lowered.

[0131] Under cloudy weather conditions, the light intensities received by different photovoltaic modules may vary significantly. By introducing reliability information, the node contribution of each module can be accurately evaluated, facilitating the optimization of operation strategies. In mountainous or urban environments, terrain undulations and obstacles such as buildings and trees can have a significant impact on the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic modules.
