[0026] With the rapid development of photovoltaic power stations, the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power stations has become a vital issue. In order to ensure the efficient and stable operation of photovoltaic power stations, it is necessary to use a variety of photovoltaic power station monitoring subsystems, among which the SCADA system, five-defense system, AGC system, AVC system, etc. play a key role. The SCADA system is a comprehensive automation control system used to monitor, control and collect data from photovoltaic power stations. It can monitor the power generation, meteorological conditions, voltage, current and other key parameters of photovoltaic power stations in real time to ensure that the operating status of the power station is under control, and conduct in-depth analysis of the collected data to help operation and maintenance personnel understand the overall operation of the power station and optimize the operation strategy. It can also perform fault diagnosis through intelligent algorithms, discover and deal with problems in a timely manner, and ensure the stable operation of the power station. The five-defense system is an important safeguard for the safe operation of photovoltaic power stations, which usually includes preventing misconnection and mismatch. breaker ; Prevent opening and closing under load Disconnector ; Prevent live hanging (closing) Ground wire ( Earthing switch); prevent the circuit breaker from being closed with the grounding wire (grounding switch); prevent the accidental entry into the live interval. The AGC system satisfies the real-time changes in the power demand of the power grid by controlling the output of the photovoltaic inverter. Its main functions usually include active power control (automatically adjusting the active output of the photovoltaic power station according to the grid dispatching instructions to maintain the stability of the grid frequency and power), optimized allocation (optimizing the allocation of active power according to the operating status and adjustable margin of the inverter to extend the service life of the inverter), and real-time response (able to quickly respond to the grid dispatching instructions to ensure the coordinated operation of the photovoltaic power station and the grid). The AVC system is used to automatically adjust the grid voltage and reactive power to improve the voltage quality and economy of the grid. It is usually used for voltage regulation, reactive optimization and coordinated control. The SCADA system, the five-defense system, the AGC system and the AVC system play an irreplaceable role in the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power stations. Together, they constitute the core part of the photovoltaic power station monitoring system, providing a strong guarantee for the safe and efficient operation of photovoltaic power stations. However, there may be differences between these monitoring subsystems in terms of system architecture, data format, communication protocol, etc., making it difficult to work together, which seriously affects the monitoring effect.

[0027] Based on the above situation, the present application proposes an integrated monitoring system for a photovoltaic power station and a photovoltaic power station. The present application is described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a first schematic diagram of an integrated monitoring system for a photovoltaic power station of the present application, which may include an operator station, a data server, an AGC / AVC controller, an intra-station communication collection device and a telecontrol device.

[0029] The operator station is used to allow the operator to manually issue manual instructions to the AGC / AVC controller. In actual applications, the operator station can provide a human-machine interface so that the operator can directly input manual instructions. By setting up the operator station, the operator can be allowed to manually control the AGC / AVC controller, such as adjusting power output, changing control mode, etc.

[0030] The telecontrol device is used to receive control instructions from the dispatching system and send the control instructions to the AGC / AVC controller through the data server. It should be noted that the telecontrol device can serve as a communication bridge between the photovoltaic power station and the superior dispatching system, receive control instructions from the dispatching system, and forward these control instructions to the AGC / AVC controller, and can also feed back the status information of the power station to the superior dispatching system.

[0031] The AGC / AVC controller is used to perform logical operations according to the received control instructions and / or manual instructions, complete power distribution, and control the inverter of the photovoltaic power station to perform corresponding actions. It should be noted that the AGC / AVC controller can perform logical operations according to the received control instructions (from the telecontrol device) and / or manual instructions (from the operator station), complete the power distribution task, ensure that the photovoltaic power station operates according to the instructions, and control the inverter to perform corresponding actions, such as adjusting the output power, switching the working mode, etc.

[0032] The in-station communication collection device is used to collect the power and local meteorological data of the photovoltaic power station, and send it to the big data control center through the telecontrol device. In actual applications, the in-station communication collection device is mainly responsible for collecting the real-time power data and local meteorological data of the photovoltaic power station, and sending these data to the big data control center through the telecontrol device for further analysis, monitoring and management.

[0033] This application completes integrated monitoring through the coordinated control of the operator station, data server, AGC / AVC controller, in-station communication collection device and telecontrol device. The operator sends manual instructions to the AGC / AVC controller or photovoltaic inverter through the operator station for manual control. The telecontrol device receives the control instructions from the dispatching system and forwards them to the AGC / AVC controller. The AGC / AVC controller performs logical operations based on the received instructions, completes power distribution, and controls the inverter to perform corresponding actions. The in-station communication collection device collects electric energy and meteorological data in real time, and sends it to the big data control center through the telecontrol device for monitoring and management. Such an integrated monitoring system ensures the efficient and stable operation of the photovoltaic power station, while providing flexible manual and automatic control functions.

[0034] As a second embodiment of the integrated monitoring system of the photovoltaic power station of the present application, it can include an operator station, a data server, an AGC / AVC controller, an in-station communication collection device, a telecontrol device, a five-protection operation station, a clock synchronization device and a safety protection system.

[0035] The data server can realize the communication between the host computer and the telecontrol device, the communication management machine in the photovoltaic power station, and the AGC / AVC controller, as well as the monitoring software application management, data processing and historical data storage. It should be noted that the data server, as an intermediate node, can forward the host computer's instructions to the telecontrol device and feed back the status information of the telecontrol device to the host computer. The data server communicates with the communication management machine to realize real-time monitoring of the power station equipment status and data collection. In addition, the data server can provide the real-time data required by the monitoring software and support the various monitoring functions of the software. The monitoring software can control and adjust the remote equipment through the data server.

[0036] The telecontrol device can realize the communication between the photovoltaic power station and the upper dispatching system and the large data control center, and realize data collection through IEC104. It should be noted that IEC104 is an international standard for telecontrol communication in power systems. It defines the data exchange format and communication protocol between the control center and the remote terminal in the power system, and can realize efficient and reliable data collection and communication.

[0037] The AGC / AVC controller is responsible for the power and voltage control of the entire plant. It adopts dual redundant control and supports the IEC61850 communication model. The dispatching system sends the control instructions to the telecontrol device, which sends the control instructions to the AGC / AVC controller through the data server. The AGC / AVC controller performs logical operations, completes power distribution, and sends it to the inverter.

[0038] Photovoltaic AGC or ACV system is an automatic control system designed specifically for photovoltaic power stations, which can realize real-time monitoring and regulation of photovoltaic power station power. At present, the AGC or AVC systems of photovoltaic power stations are all in the form of servers, and the control strategies are all implemented using code. The variable parameters are introduced after the script program is compiled and packaged to realize the AGC or AVC system adjustment. Users cannot know the actual control logic and the real-time values ​​of each variable during the logical operation process. Therefore, the operation cycle is long and the program debugging is difficult. If you want to optimize the control strategy, you need to exit the AGC or AVC system control and rewrite the script program, which is difficult to achieve.

[0039] The AGC / AVC controller in this application is an embedded device that uses a high-performance SOC processor for signal processing. It is based on a fully redundant design with controller redundancy, power supply redundancy, and network redundancy, which can effectively improve safety. Multi-task scheduling technology is used at the software level, and the ARM operation is based on the QNX real-time operating system. The system is stable and responsive, and the minimum calculation cycle can reach 5ms.

[0040] The AGC / AVC controller in this application improves the stability and safety of the AGC / AVC regulation equipment. At the same time, the AGC / AVC controller calculation cycle can be flexibly configured with 8 task cycles, with a minimum calculation cycle of 5ms and a maximum calculation cycle of 1s. It adopts a multi-task scheduling and regulation technology based on time slices to achieve a rapid power regulation function, ensuring that all control logics are executed under the fastest task, thereby enhancing the real-time performance of the device.

[0041] At present, the AGC / AVC controls of photovoltaic power stations are all independent systems. The photovoltaic equipment operation data required by the control strategy needs to be collected by the equipment to establish a separate communication channel for transmission, which adds additional operation and maintenance work. To address this problem, this application proposes unified database management. After the equipment operation process data is communicated to the SCADA database, the database is uniformly managed and synchronized to the AGC / AVC device for calculation, thereby reducing communication failure points and reducing operation and maintenance work.

[0042] The in-station communication collection device can collect electricity meter and local meteorological data.

[0043] The five-prevention operation station can be responsible for the five-prevention operation invoicing, communicate with the five-prevention key through the serial port, transfer the operation ticket to the key, and synchronize the unlocking information to the database. Specifically, the five-prevention operation station can generate operation tickets that meet the "five-prevention" requirements according to the operation rules of the power system and the status of the on-site equipment. These operation tickets are designed to prevent electrical misoperation and ensure the safety of the power grid. During the invoicing process, the system will make logical judgments to ensure that each step of the operation complies with safety regulations. The five-prevention operation station and the five-prevention key establish a communication connection through the serial port. This communication method allows the operation station to safely and accurately transmit the generated operation ticket to the five-prevention key. After receiving the operation ticket, the five-prevention key will serve as the basis for on-site operation to ensure that the operator operates according to the predetermined steps. During the operation, the five-prevention operation station may synchronize key data such as unlocking information and operation records to the data server. The data server is responsible for storing this data for subsequent analysis, query and audit. Therefore, the five-prevention operation station can ensure that the switching operation of the power system complies with safety regulations, while realizing the recording and storage of operation data, providing strong support for the safe operation of the power system.

[0044] Based on the above photovoltaic power station integrated monitoring system, such as Figure 2 As shown, the present application also proposes a photovoltaic power station, which may include a photovoltaic power station body, a dispatching system, a big data control center and the aforementioned photovoltaic power station integrated monitoring system.

[0045] In actual applications, the centralized monitoring and unified management of the entire photovoltaic power station can be achieved based on the three parts of the station layer, communication layer, and photovoltaic area. The station layer is the aforementioned integrated monitoring system of the photovoltaic power station. The communication layer is composed of switches and firewall devices, and the switches are configured with dual network redundancy. The photovoltaic area adopts a ring network, and the photovoltaic area includes a communication management machine and field equipment, supporting Modbus communication model and 104 communication model. The field equipment includes inverters, junction boxes, and box transformers, which are connected to the station-side communication management machine through Modbus. The station-side communication management machine forwards data to the monitoring system through 104. The AGC / AVC controller has visual configuration technology, and the control strategy adopts graphical configuration, which is easy to maintain and optimize. The control algorithm of AGC / AVC is implemented with graphical, modular and visual control logic, which is convenient for modification and debugging, and improves operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0046] This application adopts an integrated system, which can share a database, facilitate maintenance, and improve work efficiency and data security reliability. It has data acquisition, data processing, database management, control and adjustment functions, alarm recording and printing, voice alarm and query, system service management functions, etc., which can meet daily production monitoring and management. The AGC / AVC controller adopts a redundant configuration, which can improve safety, fast computing speed, and significant control effect. And the control logic of the AGC / AVC controller is independent of the SCADA server in the photovoltaic area, which can improve reliability. It should be noted that the above-mentioned alarm recording and printing, voice alarm and query, and system service management functions can be respectively set up with corresponding functional modules to deal with normal and abnormal situations in the monitoring process accordingly.

[0047] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
