Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic module testing, and particularly to an intelligent experimental platform for simulating the hot spot effect of photovoltaic modules. Background Art
[0002] In order to accelerate the realization of the carbon neutrality goal and promote the green transformation of the energy structure in China, the photovoltaic power generation technology, which is characterized by clean, efficient and strong adaptability, has been widely applied on a large scale across the country. However, with the rapid popularization of photovoltaic power stations and rooftop photovoltaics, the potential safety hazards of photovoltaic modules during long-term operation in complex environments have gradually emerged. Among them, the local overheating caused by the hot spot effect of photovoltaic modules has become a key issue threatening the safety of photovoltaic systems. When the light distribution on the surface of a photovoltaic module is uneven due to obstacles, the shaded battery cells will be in a reverse bias state, becoming loads and continuously consuming the electrical energy output by other normally illuminated units, resulting in a sudden rise in local temperature. The local high temperature caused by severe hot spot effects will not only cause structural damages such as the pyrolysis of the internal encapsulation materials of photovoltaic modules and the carbonization and ignition of the backplane, but may also ignite surrounding combustibles (such as cable insulation layers, building waterproof layers or vegetation, etc.), leading to the coupled combustion of photovoltaic modules and the surrounding environment, posing a serious threat to the safety of photovoltaic arrays and surrounding building facilities.
[0003] To solve the hot spot effect problem, Wang Jiakun et al. designed an intelligent evolution analysis method and system for operation faults in new energy power stations (authorized announcement number CN118378543B), which monitors the occlusion information and temperature distribution area of photovoltaic modules and predicts the risk of the glass on the surface of photovoltaic modules being heated and cracked under the hot spot effect according to the mechanical model of glass. Pu Yonghua et al. developed a detection method for the impact of the hot spot effect on photovoltaic modules (authorized announcement number CN119135085B). This patent analyzes the temperature fluctuations caused by the hot spot effect through the infrared images on the surface of photovoltaic modules, and identifies false hot spots based on the differences between ordinary hot spots and faulty hot spots, realizing accurate fault warning for the hot spot effect. In the thin-film photovoltaic module hot spot durability test device (application publication number CN119010792A), a fixed steady-state light source is erected above the thin-film photovoltaic module, and the maximum damage situation of the thin-film photovoltaic module caused by the hot spot effect is tested by changing the area of the shading curtain.
[0004] Through research and analysis of existing technologies, it can be concluded that: on the one hand, the detection and early warning methods for hot spot effects mainly identify and analyze hot spot effects by inputting temperature data into a pre-trained model or a preset algorithm, without clearly defining the damage characteristics and fire risks of photovoltaic modules under the influence of multi-condition hot spot effects, and the pre-trained model lacks experimental data support for different conditions; on the other hand, the test devices for hot spot effects mainly test the damage range of photovoltaic modules by changing the area of external obstacles, without considering the influence of different light incident angles and obstacle types on the test results. However, the application scenarios of photovoltaic systems are complex and the disaster-causing factors are diverse (such as the shading of trees, bird droppings on photovoltaic modules, snow, etc.). The existing inventions consider single parameters and are difficult to accurately reproduce the disaster-causing process of hot spot effects in the actual environment, nor can they clarify the characteristic parameters and fire risks of hot spot effects under different conditions. Therefore, an intelligent experimental platform for simulating the hot spot effect of photovoltaic modules is developed, which can simulate various types of disaster-causing factors of hot spot effects, accurately restore the characteristics of solar light changes and realize the reproduction of complex scenarios. At the same time, a multi-modal parameter correlation database is constructed using experimental data to clarify the influence of multi-dimensional parameters such as different obstacles, the inclination angle of the photovoltaic module, light intensity, and incident angle on the safe operation of the photovoltaic system under hot spot effects.
