[0002] With the rapid development of photovoltaic power generation technology, the deployment of large-scale photovoltaic power stations in desert areas has become an important way to meet energy demand. However, strong winds and high-concentration sand and dust in the desert environment pose significant challenges to the operation of photovoltaic arrays, specifically including the following problems: Sand and dust coverage and equipment loss: The flow of wind and sand causes a large amount of sand and dust to deposit on the surface of photovoltaic panels, reducing their photoelectric conversion efficiency. At the same time, the impact of sand and dust particles on the surface of equipment at high wind speeds causes abrasion and shortens the service life of the equipment.

[0003] Limitations of traditional protection means: Although currently widely used physical barriers (such as windbreak walls) and chemical sand-fixing agents can partially reduce wind and sand erosion, they have problems such as complex construction, high cost, and poor environmental friendliness. At the same time, these methods lack pertinence to the specific dynamic diffusion characteristics of sand and dust.

[0004] Insufficiency of ecological protection technology: Constructing an ecological barrier by planting desert windbreak plants is a sustainable solution. However, traditional plant screening methods mostly rely on empirical judgment and lack scientific evaluation criteria, and cannot accurately adapt to the dynamic characteristics of sand and dust in the target area and the ecological needs of plants, resulting in the protection efficiency being difficult to meet actual requirements.

[0012] Further, the movement trajectory of the reconstructed dust in the wind field in S34 is expressed as: , where is the position vector of the dust particle, is the drag coefficient, is the relative velocity vector of the dust particle, is the gravitational acceleration, is the cross-sectional area of the particle, is the air density; The result output is the dust diffusion path, showing the main flow direction, high-concentration area, sedimentation area, and dust backflow area of the dust flow.

[0013] Further, S4 specifically includes: S41, model environment initialization: Based on the target photovoltaic array area, combined with actual terrain data and the simulation results of the dynamic diffusion path, a three-dimensional space environment is constructed, which includes the surface height, the position and geometric shape of the photovoltaic array, and the dust diffusion path; S42, input of candidate plant attributes: Extract the protection attributes of each plant from the first candidate plant list, including plant height, leaf area index, surface roughness of stems and leaves, ventilation rate, and root stability, and input the plant position and planting density as initial configuration parameters to simulate the interference effect of the plants on the wind speed and dust flow in the target photovoltaic array area; S43, protection efficiency simulation: Based on the dynamic diffusion path, superimpose the velocity field and concentration field of the dust flow on the plant attribute model to simulate the dynamic protection behavior of the candidate plants in the target photovoltaic array area.

Combined with the protection characteristics of candidate plants (such as height, leaf area index, ventilation rate, etc.), a dynamic simulation environment is established. By quantifying indicators such as wind speed attenuation rate, sand and dust settlement rate, and planting cost, a comprehensive score is calculated, realizing the comprehensive quantification and scientific optimization of the screening process, and avoiding the problems of strong subjectivity and lack of quantitative basis in traditional screening.

Especially the linkage between the dynamic simulation model and the comprehensive score makes the screening results not only applicable to the desert conditions of the current target photovoltaic array area, but also can be quickly adapted to different terrains, wind fields, and sand and dust characteristics by adjusting input parameters, significantly improving the applicability and promotion value of the solution.

[0028] S2 specifically includes: S21, Sensor layout and calibration: Install multi-spectral laser scattering sensors in the target photovoltaic array area. The installation height of the multi-spectral laser scattering sensors is set within the range of 1m - 2m from the ground to ensure that the energy dynamics of the actual sand flow can be captured; Calibrate the sensitivity of the multi-spectral laser scattering sensors in the optical wavelength range of 400nm - 1000nm to adapt to the strong scattering characteristics of the dust environment; S22, Sand and wind kinetic energy measurement: Detect the density change of sand flow through the light scattering intensity of the laser beam and sand particles, and obtain the wind speed data in real time in combination with the wind speed sensor; The sensor collects wind speed and kinetic energy intensity data at a set sampling frequency of 10 times per second. Based on the monitoring data, a time-series change curve of the kinetic energy intensity distribution of sand and dust in the target area is generated, and the high-intensity area, transition area, and low-intensity area of the kinetic energy intensity are analyzed, providing a direct basis for reconstructing the dynamic diffusion path of sand and dust flow in the photovoltaic array.

[0029] Kinetic energy intensity It is calculated as: , where is the sand and dust density (total mass of particles per unit volume), is the wind speed; Estimated using a multi-spectral laser scattering sensor, which can infer the total number of sand and dust particles by measuring the scattered light intensity of the sand and dust particles ; The sensor measures the scattered signal intensity through an air sample of a certain volume (such as 1 cubic meter) ; The scattered light intensity is converted into the total number of particles using a scattering model (Mie scattering theory) ; Assume the average density of the particles is known, and the sand and dust density is calculated by the following formula: , where is the mass of a single particle, calculated according to its average particle size and the material density : .

[0030] S3 specifically includes: S31, Wind field data collection: The wind speed sensors deployed in the target photovoltaic array area are used to measure the wind speed , wind direction at different spatial positions to obtain the spatial and temporal distribution of the wind speed , the spatial and temporal distribution of the wind direction , and generate the initial wind field velocity field of the target area. The initial wind field velocity field vector is expressed as: , where is the velocity field vector, and are the unit vectors of the horizontal components; represents the spatial position, represents the time; S32, Input of sand and dust kinetic energy intensity: Convert the kinetic energy intensity of sand and dust per unit volume into the corresponding sand and dust flow load , which is used as an input parameter for fluid dynamics simulation; S33, Turbulence model modeling: Based on the wind field data and sand dust kinetic energy intensity in the target photovoltaic array area, use the turbulence model to simulate the diffusion behavior of sand dust particles in the wind field, set boundary conditions (such as the geometric shape of the photovoltaic array device and the ground friction coefficient), and reconstruct the velocity field and concentration field of the sand dust flow; S34, Dynamic diffusion path simulation: Through computational fluid dynamics, simulate the dynamic diffusion path of sand dust particles in the wind field, reconstruct the movement trajectory of sand dust in the wind field, and generate a diffusion path map. The diffusion path includes the main flow direction of sand dust, high-concentration areas, sedimentation areas, and sand dust recirculation areas.

[0031] The computational fluid dynamics modeling in S33 is a macroscopic-level calculation, targeting the movement state of sand dust as a whole fluid; the continuity equation and momentum conservation equation describe the velocity field, pressure field, and density distribution of the air flow and sand dust flow in the entire flow field; the global flow characteristics of the sand dust diffusion path are output, defining the flow law of sand dust in the wind field and providing global background information for particle trajectory calculation.

[0032] The dynamic diffusion path calculation in S34 is a microscopic-level calculation based on the macroscopic flow field, finely modeling the movement of a single or a group of sand dust particles, describing the movement of a single particle in the wind field, and considering the influence of specific forces such as resistance and gravity; the actual movement trajectory of sand dust particles is output, showing how the particles are carried, sedimented, or recirculated in the flow field.

[0033] That is to say, S33 provides a "global map" of sand dust diffusion (flow field and concentration distribution), and the dynamic diffusion path calculation is refined to particle behavior, describing how these particles specifically move along this "map".

[0034] Specifically, the reconstruction logic of this part of the dynamic diffusion path is described as follows: (1) First, through the wind speed sensor, collect the actual wind speed and wind direction data in the target photovoltaic array area. The spatial and temporal distribution of these data constitutes the initial wind field model. The initial model describes the overall dynamic characteristics of the wind field, captures the macroscopic features of the wind field, and provides a basis for the next analysis.

[0035] (2) The kinetic energy intensity is further converted into the impact force of sand dust on the unit area (i.e., sand dust flow load). This process considers how the kinetic energy of sand dust acts on the photovoltaic array or the ground. The sand dust flow load describes the direct physical action of sand dust on the photovoltaic array, and its spatial and temporal distribution is used as the input boundary condition of the fluid dynamics model.

[0036] (3) Based on wind field data and dust flow loads, use a turbulence model to simulate the diffusion behavior of dust flow in the wind field. The model describes the global dynamic characteristics of the aeolian sand flow through the continuity equation and the momentum conservation equation. The output results include the velocity field, pressure field, and concentration distribution of the dust, which reflect the global movement law and spatial diffusion characteristics of the dust in the target photovoltaic array area.

[0037] (4) Further analyze the movement trajectory of a single dust particle. The simulation considers various forces such as the drag force and gravity acting on the particle, and calculates the actual path of the particle in the wind field, including how the particle is carried, settled, or refluxed. The dynamic diffusion path refines the microscopic characteristics of the dust flow and can clarify the movement behavior of the particle at different positions. The results are visualized as a diffusion path map and an impact force distribution map.

[0038] Dust flow load is the flow impact force of the dust kinetic energy on a unit area, calculated as: , where is the dust flow load, is the unit area, is the action time, and the spatial and time distributions are used as the external input boundary conditions for the computational fluid dynamics simulation, representing the dynamic force of the dust on the target photovoltaic array area.

[0039] The turbulence model in S33 calculates the diffusion range of the dust in the wind field. The key equations of the turbulence model include: Continuity equation (mass conservation): ; Momentum conservation equation (Navier - Stokes equation): ; where is the velocity field vector, is the fluid density, is the pressure field, is the fluid dynamic viscosity coefficient, is the dust flow load, represents the gradient operator, which is used to describe the changes of the velocity field and pressure field in space.

[0040] The movement trajectory of the reconstructed dust in the wind field in S34 is expressed as: , where is the dust particle position vector, is the drag coefficient, is the relative velocity vector of the dust particle, obtained by subtracting the initial wind field velocity field from the current velocity of the dust particle, is the acceleration due to gravity, is the cross-sectional area of the particle, is the air density.

[0041] The simulation results are visualized as a sand-dust diffusion path map, showing the main flow direction, high-concentration areas, sedimentation areas, and recirculation areas of the sand-dust flow.

[0042] S4 specifically includes: S41, model environment initialization: Based on the target photovoltaic array area, combined with actual terrain data and the simulation results of the dynamic diffusion path, a three-dimensional spatial environment is constructed. The three-dimensional spatial environment includes the surface height, the position and geometric shape of the photovoltaic array, and the dynamic characteristics of the sand-dust diffusion path (the three-dimensional distribution of the velocity field, sand-dust concentration field, and kinetic energy intensity field).

[0043] S42, candidate plant attribute input: Extract the protection attributes of each plant from the first candidate plant list, including plant height, leaf area index, stem and leaf surface roughness, ventilation rate, and root stability. Input the plant position and planting density as initial configuration parameters to simulate the interference effect of the plants on the wind speed and sand-dust flow in the target photovoltaic array area; S43, protection efficiency simulation: Based on the dynamic diffusion path, superimpose the velocity field and concentration field of the sand-dust flow on the plant attribute model to simulate the dynamic protection behavior of the candidate plants in the target photovoltaic array area. The simulation results include: Wind speed attenuation rate : Evaluate the ability of the plants to weaken the kinetic energy of the sand-dust flow by calculating the effect of the plant population on reducing the local wind speed; Sand-dust sedimentation rate : Evaluate the ability of the plants to reduce the concentration of the sand-dust flow by the spatial distribution of the sand-dust particles settling on the plant surface and the ground; S44, comprehensive effect evaluation: For each plant in the first candidate plant list, quantify its protection efficiency in the target photovoltaic array area, generate a comprehensive effect evaluation including the wind speed attenuation rate, sand-dust sedimentation rate, and vegetation coverage cost. Obtain the comprehensive effect evaluation score based on the comprehensive effect evaluation, screen out the candidate plants with excellent performance, and generate the second candidate plant list.

[0044] Wind speed attenuation rate Represents the ability of the plant population to weaken the local wind speed, calculated as: , where is the initial wind speed when the wind enters the plant protection area, is the remaining wind speed after the wind passes through the plant protection area; The wind speed uses the velocity field in the dynamic diffusion path, and several measurement points are taken within the plant area to calculate and average value; Dust sedimentation rate It represents the proportion of dust sedimenting from the air current to the ground or adhering to plants within the plant area, and is calculated as: , where is the dust concentration per unit volume when entering the plant area, is the dust concentration per unit volume after passing through the plant area; the dust concentration is derived from the concentration field model of the dynamic diffusion path, and the average concentration is calculated by selecting the inlet and outlet positions within the plant area respectively; The comprehensive effect evaluation in S44 also considers the reduction amount of the kinetic energy intensity of dust , which represents the weakening of the kinetic energy intensity by plants, and the calculation formula is: , where is the kinetic energy intensity when dust enters the plant area, is the kinetic energy intensity after dust passes through the plant area; Comprehensive effect evaluation score is calculated as:

[0045] where is the reduction amount of kinetic energy intensity, is the maximum reduction amount of dust kinetic energy in the current candidate plant group for normalization, is the wind speed attenuation rate, is the dust sedimentation rate, is the plant planting cost, with the unit being the cost value per unit area, are the weight coefficients of each evaluation element, respectively reflecting the relative importance of wind speed attenuation, dust sedimentation, planting cost, and kinetic energy intensity, , and they can be evenly divided.

[0046] Sort the candidate plants in descending order according to the comprehensive effect evaluation score Sp. According to the required final number of candidate plants Q, select the top Q plants with the highest comprehensive effect evaluation scores to form the second candidate plant list, which is the finally selected list.

[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
