Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of floating photovoltaic power stations, and particularly to a multi-objective optimization design method for the collector system of a floating photovoltaic power station. Background Technique

[0002] With the development of solar photovoltaics, the available land for further development of photovoltaic power stations has decreased. Due to the potential advantages, expected profits of floating photovoltaic power stations, and the lack of land resources, more and more floating photovoltaic power stations have obtained investment and construction and achieved grid-connected power generation.

[0003] The optimization design of the collector system of a floating photovoltaic power station is an important link during the construction of a floating photovoltaic power station, mainly including the layout optimization of photovoltaic power generation units (referred to as power generation units for short) and the laying optimization of collector cables. Currently, the design of the collector system of a floating photovoltaic power station is still based on manual experience, with technical deficiencies such as low automation, poor economy, and time-consuming design.

[0004] In view of the current situation that the design of the collector system of a floating photovoltaic power station is still based on manual experience, for this reason, the research results of the optimization design of the collector system of an offshore wind farm are used for reference. For the planning and design of an offshore wind farm, a sequential optimization scheme is usually adopted, first optimizing the layout of wind turbines and then optimizing the laying of collector cables. However, the sequential optimization scheme may lead to the problem of suboptimal solutions in the planning and design of an offshore wind farm. The reason is that during the layout of wind turbines, the distance between wind turbines is increased to reduce the influence of wake effects, and the implementation of the sequential optimization scheme will lead to a reduction in the number of wind turbines and an increase in the length of collector cables, thereby resulting in a reduction in power generation and an increase in the investment cost of collector cables. Similarly, for a floating photovoltaic power station, increasing the capacity ratio during the layout of power generation units to increase power generation will lead to an increase in the laying cost of photovoltaic panels and the investment cost of collector cables. In addition, for offshore wind farms and floating photovoltaic power stations, the laying cost and the investment cost of collector cables are both one-time expenditures, occurring during the construction period of new energy power stations, while power generation is a long-term benefit, running through the entire operation period of new energy power stations. In terms of the overall benefit of new energy power stations, the costs and benefits during their construction period and operation period should be considered as a whole to achieve the coordinated optimization of power generation and economic costs.

[0005] Chinese patent document CN119558014A discloses a method for collaborative optimization design of the layout of power generation units and collector cables in a floating photovoltaic power station. This method proposes the layout optimization of the power generation units in the collector system of a floating photovoltaic power station based on the minimum power generation unit, as well as the optimization of collector cables integrating fuzzy C-means clustering, DM-MSTP algorithm and automatic selection of collector cables. Then, the particle swarm algorithm is used to conduct collaborative optimization of the layout of power generation units and collector cables in the floating photovoltaic power station with the total investment cost of the floating photovoltaic power station as the target, so as to achieve the purpose of collaborative optimization design of the layout of power generation units and collector cables in the collector system of the floating photovoltaic power station. However, this solution only considers the single target of the total investment cost of the floating photovoltaic power station and fails to well coordinate the relationship between the practicability and economy of the collector system of the floating photovoltaic power station. At the same time, compared with multi-objective optimization, single-objective optimization has great limitations.

[0006] Therefore, the problem of multi-objective optimization design of the collector system of a floating photovoltaic power station has become a key technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the technical field of floating photovoltaic power stations. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to solve the deficiencies of low automation, poor economy and time-consuming design in the existing manual design scheme, as well as the deficiency that the sequential optimization scheme is prone to fall into local optimal solutions, the present invention provides a method for multi-objective optimization design of the collector system of a floating photovoltaic power station.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A method for multi-objective optimization design of the collector system of a floating photovoltaic power station, the method comprising the following steps:

[0010] S1. Obtain the basic data of the floating photovoltaic power station.

[0011] S2. Establish a multi-objective optimization design model for the collector system of the floating photovoltaic power station.

[0012] S3. Use the multi-objective optimization design model for the collector system of the floating photovoltaic power station to conduct multi-objective optimization to obtain a multi-objective optimization design scheme.

[0013] S4. Based on the basic data of the floating photovoltaic power station and the multi-objective optimization design scheme, use the CWM-TOPSIS method to obtain the design result of the collector system of the floating photovoltaic power station.

[0014] In steps S3 and S4, based on the obtained basic data, NSACS and Pareto evaluation are integrated to perform multi-objective optimization on the established mathematical model for the design of the collector system of the floating PV power station, obtaining the Pareto front. Then, based on the CWM-TOPSIS method, the optimal design scheme for the collector system of the floating PV power station is obtained from the Pareto front, and a design drawing of the collector system of the floating PV power station is generated.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, in step S1, the basic data of the floating PV power station includes: light resource and water area data and device basic data; the light resource and water area data includes the light resource level, annual sunlight conditions, and water area conditions of the location area of the floating PV power station; the device basic data includes the model and pricing of the inverter, the model and pricing of the PV panels, and the model of the collector cable.

[0016] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0017] S21. Based on the minimum power generation unit, establish a power generation unit layout cost model.

[0018] S22. Establish an annual power generation model associated with the optimization variable capacity ratio of the collector system of the floating PV power station.

[0019] S23. Based on the improved FCM clustering algorithm, DM-MSTP algorithm, and the automatic selection and sizing method of collector cables, establish a collector cable laying cost model.

[0020] S24. Set the constraint conditions that need to be satisfied for the design of the collector system of the floating PV power station.

[0021] S25. According to the power generation unit layout cost model, the annual power generation model, the collector cable laying cost model, and the constraint conditions, establish a multi-objective optimization design model for the collector system of the floating PV power station.

[0022] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, step S3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0023] S31. Combine the NSACS algorithm and Pareto evaluation to generate the Pareto solution set front.

[0024] S32. Based on the CWM-TOPSIS method, generate a multi-objective optimization design scheme for the optimal solution from the Pareto solution set front.

[0025] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, step S21 specifically includes the following steps:

[0026] S211. Define a power generation unit composed of one inverter and n photovoltaic modules as the minimum power generation unit of the floating photovoltaic power station. Based on the definition of the minimum photovoltaic power generation unit, calculate the capacity of the minimum power generation unit and the number of photovoltaic modules in the minimum power generation unit by using Equation (1) and Equation (2) respectively:

[0027] P min = P INV ×λ (30)

[0028] In Equation (1), P min is the capacity of the minimum power generation unit, P INV is the rated power of the inverter, and λ is the capacity ratio.

[0029]

[0030] In Equation (2), n is the number of photovoltaic modules in the minimum power generation unit; P min is the capacity of the minimum power generation unit; P gfb is the rated power of the photovoltaic panel; N zj is the number of photovoltaic panels in a photovoltaic module, and this number is restricted by the floating body structure and should be selected from fixed specifications; n is an integer and is rounded by using the rounding function.

[0031] S212. Calculate the capacity of the power generation unit by using Equation (3):

[0032] K a ×K b = n × N p.unit (32)

[0033] In Equation (3), the power generation unit is the basic component unit of the floating photovoltaic power station and is composed of N p.unit minimum power generation units spliced together. Arrange the photovoltaic modules in the power generation unit as a rows and b columns. Assume that there are K b photovoltaic modules in each row and K a photovoltaic modules in each column; N p.unit is the number of minimum power generation units.

[0034] S213. Calculate the length and width of the minimum power generation unit in the floating photovoltaic power station by using Equation (4) and Equation (5):

[0035] L = L unit ×K b (33)

[0036] W = W unit ×K a (34)

[0037] In Equation (4) and Equation (5), L and W respectively represent the length and width of the minimum power generation unit in the floating photovoltaic power station, Lunit , W unit respectively represent the length and width of each photovoltaic module in the minimum power generation unit, and the length and width of each photovoltaic module are determined by the selected photovoltaic panel model, photovoltaic inclination angle, and the spacing between panels; K b represents the number of photovoltaic modules in each row of the power generation unit; K a represents the number of photovoltaic modules in each column of the power generation unit.

[0038] S214. Set the capacity ratio of the floating photovoltaic power station, the number of minimum power generation units, and the aspect ratio of the power generation unit as optimization variables. Under the condition of ensuring that the power generation unit can be laid in the target water area, set the layout cost of the power generation unit of the floating photovoltaic power station as the objective function f1. Then, use Equation (6) to determine the objective function f1, and further determine the layout cost model of the power generation unit according to the objective function f1:

[0039] f1 = (C INV + C gfb × N zj × n) × N p.unit × N unit (35)

[0040] Substitute Equation (1) and Equation (2) into Equation (6), then we have:

[0041]

[0042] In Equation (6) and Equation (7), f1 is the objective function of the layout cost of the power generation unit, C INV is the cost of a single inverter, C gfb is the cost of a single photovoltaic panel, N zj is the number of photovoltaic panels in a photovoltaic module, n is the number of photovoltaic modules in the minimum power generation unit, N p.unit is the number of minimum power generation units, N unit is the number of power generation units of the floating photovoltaic power station, P INV is the rated power of the inverter, λ is the capacity ratio, P gfb is the rated power of the photovoltaic panel.

[0043] For the collector system of a floating PV power station, the ratio of the nominal power of the PV modules on the DC side to the output power of the PV inverter is called the capacity ratio. Increasing the capacity ratio is achieved by increasing the number of PV modules and over-sizing the DC side capacity of the PV system. Although increasing the capacity ratio increases the initial investment cost of the system to a certain extent, in terms of the entire life cycle of PV power generation, increasing the capacity ratio can effectively improve the utilization rate of the inverter capacity, and thus increase the PV power generation. According to the objective function f1 of the layout cost of the power generation units in the floating PV power station, the layout cost model of the power generation units is determined, and the layout cost of the power generation units is changed by adjusting and optimizing variables (such as the capacity ratio, the number of the smallest power generation units, and the aspect ratio of the power generation units, etc.).

[0044] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the step S22 specifically includes the following steps:

[0045] S221. Calculate the total PV power generation of the floating PV station by using Equation (8):

[0046]

[0047] In Equation (8), P out is the total PV power generation within the unit time stamp; PR is the energy efficiency ratio; P0 is the standard installed capacity, that is, the installed capacity under the 1:1 capacity ratio; G i,k is the cumulative irradiation amount on the inclined plane within the unit time stamp, with the unit of kWh / m 2 ; τ k is the unit time stamp; G i,ref is the standard irradiance, usually taken as 1000W / m 2 .

[0048] Equation (8) is the power generation calculation formula in the international standard IEC 61724-1:2017 Photovoltaic Performance Assessment Standard. It can be seen from Equation (8) that the power generation formula in the international standard is affected by various factors, and there is a strong coupling between the influencing factors.

[0049] S222. Decouple the power generation formula (8), establish the relationship between the power generation and the capacity ratio, and set the negative value of the annual power generation of the floating PV station as the objective function f2. Based on the objective function f2, establish an annual power generation model associated with the optimization variable capacity ratio of the collector system of the floating PV station:

[0050] f2 = -P out = -PR0 × PR1 × T ref × P o × λ × [1 - a - b × (y - 1)] (38)

[0051] P0 = P INV × N p.unit × Nunit (39)

[0052] In Formulas (9) and (10), f2 is the objective function of the annual power generation of the floating PV power station; P out is the total PV power generation within a unit time stamp; PR0 is the fixed loss rate on the DC side, representing the DC side losses other than the light rejection rate and the component attenuation rate; PR1 is the AC side conversion efficiency; T ref is the local annual peak hours, which can be queried through the historical meteorological database; P0 is the standard installed capacity, that is, the installed capacity under a 1:1 capacity ratio; λ is the capacity ratio; a is the first-year attenuation rate of the component; b is the second-year linear attenuation rate of the component; y is the number of years of system operation. Generally, the life cycle of PV modules is 25 years; P INV is the rated power of the inverter; N p.unit is the number of minimum power generation units; N unit is the number of power generation units of the floating PV power station.

[0053] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, S23 specifically includes the following steps:

[0054] S231. Set the collector cable model as an optimization variable and establish constraint conditions using Formula (11):

[0055]

[0056] In Formula (11), S q·f is the capacity of the f-th box-type substation towed by the q-th collector cable, S q·max represents the maximum apparent power of the q-th collector cable, F represents the number of box-type substations in the q-th collector cable, Q is the number of collector cables in the collection system, I represents the current-carrying capacity of the collector cable, k represents the number of towed box-type substations, P N is the rated power of the power generation unit of the floating PV power station, U is the collection system voltage, cosθ is the power factor of the PV panel, N max is the maximum number of box-type substations that a single collector cable can bear, I max is the maximum current-carrying capacity of the collector cable; the constraint conditions include the collector cable capacity constraint, the current-carrying capacity constraint, and the constraint on the maximum number of towable box-type substations; P N represents the rated power of the power generation unit of the floating PV power station.

[0057] To overall reduce the cost of collector cable laying, the present invention sets the collector cable model as an optimization variable. During the selection process, it should meet the collector cable capacity constraint, the current-carrying capacity constraint, and the constraint on the maximum number of towable box-type substations.

[0058] S232: Taking the onshore booster station as the radiation center, use the improved FCM clustering algorithm to partition the box-type substations. Based on the above-mentioned constraints, use Equation (12) to calculate the distances between the box-type substations in each partition and between the box-type substations and the onshore booster station, and construct a distance matrix.

[0059]

[0060] In Equation (12), L d is the element in the distance matrix of the d-th partition; are the abscissa and ordinate of the box-type substations in the d-th partition respectively, where d = 1, 2…, N, i = 1, 2…, m.

[0061] According to the constraints in (11), considering that the floating PV power station has a large power generation capacity and many box-type substations, it is impossible for the collector cables to carry all the box-type substations at the same time. Therefore, the box-type substations are partitioned first, and then the collector cables are laid. The present invention takes the onshore booster station as the radiation center and uses the improved FCM clustering to partition the box-type substations. Since the more the number of partitions, the fewer the number of box-type substations in each area, which will result in a longer length of the required collector cables. Therefore, the initial number of partitions is set to 1 and incremented successively until the maximum number of box-type substations that can be carried by a single collector cable is satisfied, and then stop. At this time, it is the minimum number of partitions that satisfies the current-carrying capacity constraint, and this number is denoted as N.

[0062] Based on the research of using the improved FCM clustering algorithm to realize the partition of box-type substations, taking the onshore booster station as the radiation center, calculate the distances between the box-type substations in each partition and between the box-type substations and the onshore booster station, and construct a distance matrix. Since the wiring requirements of the floating PV power station are "horizontal and vertical", the distance calculation formula is expressed as Equation (12).

[0063] S233: Based on the above-mentioned constraints and the distance matrix, use the DM-MSTP algorithm to optimize the length of the collector cables of the floating PV power station, then use the collector cable automatic type selection algorithm to optimize the type selection of the collector cables, determine the laying scheme of the collector cables of the floating PV power station, and finally establish a collector cable laying cost model based on the laying scheme of the collector cables of the floating PV power station.

[0064] As a new minimum spanning tree solution method, the DM-MSTP algorithm collects data through an adjacency matrix. Compared with the Prim algorithm, which is a solution to the classical minimum spanning tree problem, the DM-MSTP algorithm has the advantage of low time complexity. The present invention optimizes the length of the collector cables of the floating PV power station based on the DM-MSTP algorithm, and then takes the two connection methods of tree connection and chain connection as examples to optimize the type selection of the collector cables through the proposed collector cable automatic type selection algorithm.

[0065] The S233 specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] S2331. Based on the constraint conditions and the distance matrix, use the DM-MSTP algorithm to optimize the length of the integrated cable of the floating PV power station, and generate a collector cable connection table for each partition; the first row of the inherited cable connection table represents the starting node, the second row represents the ending node, and the third row represents the distance between the starting node and the ending node.

[0067] S2332. Based on the integrated cable connection table, calculate the number of times each node appears. If the number of times all nodes appear is less than or equal to 2, record the number of box-type substations mounted on each node, and perform collector cable type selection according to the constraint conditions of Equation (11), and execute step S2335; if there is a node among all nodes whose number of appearances is greater than 2, execute step S2333.

[0068] S2333. In the collector cable connection table, find the node with an appearance count of 1 other than the step-up substation on the road, record the position of this node in the corresponding table as s, and let r = s - 1; compare the values of Link(1, s) and Link(2, r), where Link(1, s) represents the element in the first row and the s-th column of the table, and Link(2, r) represents the element in the second row and the r-th column; if Link(1, s) = Link(2, r), record the number of box-type substations mounted on the node Link(2, r), then subtract 1 from the value of s and subtract 1 from the value of r, and continue to record the corresponding number of box-type substations mounted; if Link(1, s) ≠ Link(2, r), then subtract 1 from the value of r, and continue to determine whether Link(1, s) is equal to Link(2, r - 1), and traverse forward in this way until the serial number is 1, and end the traversal process; record all the above connection processes in the same cell array, and denote this array as LJ. After completion, transfer to step S2334.

[0069] S2334. In the collector cable connection table, find the node with an appearance count greater than 2, and record the found node as u; for the cell array LJ, merge the arrays containing u; the merging rule is to first determine the position of u in the cell array, and then compare the number of box-type substations mounted on the u node in different arrays containing u, and add the number of box-type substations mounted on the u node with the smaller number to the u node with the larger number; continue to merge according to this rule until there is only one cell left in the cell array LJ. At this time, according to the constraint conditions specified in Equation (11), use the collector cable automatic type selection algorithm to optimize the type selection of the collector cable.

[0070] S2335. Based on the selection of the collector cable, that is, the selection of the chain-shaped and tree-shaped collector cables, determine the laying scheme of the collector cable for the floating photovoltaic power station, and then establish a collector cable laying cost model using Equation (13).

[0071]

[0072] In Equation (13), f3 is the objective function of the collector cable laying cost, N is the number of partitions of the fuzzy C-clustering, m is the number of box-type substations in each partition, L C.q is the length of the q-th collector cable, and C C.q (φ) is the cost per kilometer of the q-th collector cable, and φ is the cross-sectional area of the collector cable.

[0073] In the present invention, the collector cable model is set as the optimization variable. Through the selection of the collector cable model, the partitioning of the box-type substation, and the optimization of the collector cable length and type selection to achieve the optimization of the collector cable laying, and then the collector cable laying cost is set as the objective function f3.

[0074] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, in step S25, the multi-objective optimization design model of the collector system of the floating photovoltaic power station is shown in Equation (14).

[0075] Set the capacity ratio, the minimum number of power generation units, the aspect ratio of the power generation unit, and the collector cable model as the optimization variables, and the layout cost of the power generation units, the annual power generation, and the collector cable laying cost of the floating photovoltaic power station as the objective functions. Considering that all power generation units cannot exceed the water area boundary, there is no intersection or overlap between the power generation units, and the width reserved for the operation and maintenance channel should meet the national standard requirements. At the same time, considering that the collector cable needs to meet its capacity limit condition, that is, the maximum load-bearing capacity of the selected collector cable model must be greater than or equal to the sum of the capacities of the box-type substations it drives downstream, establish a multi-objective optimization model of the collector system of the floating photovoltaic power station considering the constraint conditions, as shown in Equation (14).

[0076] min(f1, f2, f3)

[0077]

[0078] In Equation (14), x i,v , y i,v are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of each vertex of the power generation unit respectively, where i = 1, 2... m represents the power generation unit number, and v = 1, 2, 3, 4 represents the vertex number of the power generation unit; x min , x max , y min , y max represent the boundary coordinates of the water area respectively, L space is the width of the operation and maintenance channel, and S q·fis the capacity of the f - th box - type substation towed by the q - th collector cable, S q·max represents the maximum apparent power of the q - th collector cable, F represents the number of box - type substations in the q - th collector cable, Q is the number of collector cables in the collector system, I represents the current - carrying capacity of the collector cable, k represents the number of towed box - type substations, P N is the rated power of the power generation unit of the floating PV power station, U is the voltage of the collector system, cosθ is the power factor of the PV panel, N max is the maximum number of box - type substations that a single collector cable can bear, I max is the maximum current - carrying capacity of the collector cable.

[0079] As a further improvement of the above - mentioned technical solution, the artificial collaborative search algorithm is an advanced optimization algorithm that solves complex optimization problems by simulating the cooperation and information - sharing mechanism among multiple agents. In order to achieve the multi - objective optimization of the collector system of the floating PV power station, first, the NSACS algorithm and the Pareto evaluation are combined to generate the Pareto solution set frontier. The Pareto solution set frontier is used to achieve the multi - objective optimization of the design optimization model of the collector system of the floating PV power station.

[0080] The step S31 specifically includes the following steps:

[0081] S311. Initialize the population and conduct fitness evaluation

[0082] S3111. Use Equation (15) to create the initial populations for two super - individuals A and B respectively, and calculate the fitness (f1(x), f2(x)....f n (x)) of each individual in the super - individuals A and B.

[0083] Specifically, the population in each super - individual is composed of multiple individuals, which are the basic units for subsequent optimization calculations. After creating the initial population, for each individual in the super - individuals A and B, calculate its fitness (f1(x), f2(x)....f n (x)). Here, the fitness is a key indicator to measure the performance of an individual in the multi - objective optimization problem. Among them, f1(x), f2(x) up to f n (x) represent multiple objective function values related to the collector system of the floating PV power station, including objective functions related to the layout cost of the power generation unit, annual power generation, the laying cost of the collector cable, etc. The fitness values calculated through these functions can evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each individual in achieving the multi - objective optimization of the system.

[0084] S3112. Sort each individual in A and B using the fitness function values, and calculate the crowding distance D of each individual using Equation (16) c, then store the fitness, ranking, and CD of each individual in the A and B super-individuals;

[0085]

[0086] In equations (15) and (16), p = 1...M, q = 1...D, M is the population size, D is the problem dimension, rand is a random number uniformly distributed, low q and up q are the search lower and upper bounds of q respectively, y p,A and y p,B are the fitnesses generated by the two super-individuals A and B respectively, fitnessA and fitnessB are the fitnesses of A and B respectively, D c (A1) is the crowding degree of individual A1, A2 and A3 are two individuals adjacent to A1, f l (A2) and f l (A3) are the objective function values of individuals A2 and A3 respectively, A0 is the neighborhood center of individuals A2 and A3, f l (A0) is the objective function value of the neighborhood center.

[0087] S312, Selection of Predator and Prey

[0088] For the super-individuals A and B in each parallel computing area, use equation (17) to randomly select the predator and prey:

[0089]

[0090] In equation (17), a and b are randomly generated numbers, predator represents the predator, prey represents the prey, := represents the update operation, y predat or, y prey 、y A 、y B represent the fitnesses generated corresponding to predator, prey, A, and B respectively.

[0091] S313, Offspring Generation

[0092] S3131, Utilize the biological interaction between the predator and the prey to generate a new position and direction for the predator, and at the same time implement boundary control. Implementing boundary control can ensure that the predator is within a reasonable search range. The change in position and direction can be completed using the Wiener process. Predators obtain stronger hunting ability through selection crossover.

[0093] S3132, Predators perform selection crossover to enhance their hunting ability. Based on the hunting ability, use equation (18) to determine the probability of cooperation between predators.

[0094] S3133. Dynamically adjust the dynamic factor of the search position using Equation (19) to generate offspring of the predator.

[0095] The dynamic factor includes the mutation rate and the selection crossover rate of the search position. By dynamically adjusting the dynamic factor of the search position, offspring of the predator with stronger hunting ability are generated, and the offspring continue the search and hunting.

[0096]

[0097] In Equations (18) and (19), x is the mutation matrix, predator represents the predator, prey represents the prey, a, b, and c are randomly generated numbers, P is the control parameter, x p,q 、stronger p,q 、predator p,q are the mutation matrix value, the stronger predator, and the predator at the corresponding (p, q); the dot represents the dot product operation of the matrix or vector.

[0148] To solve the deficiencies of the manual design scheme in the prior art, such as low automation level, poor economy, and time-consuming design, as well as the deficiency that the sequential optimization scheme is prone to falling into local optimal solutions, and the deficiency that Chinese Patent Document CN 119558014A only considers the single objective of the total investment cost of the floating photovoltaic power station and fails to well coordinate the relationship between the practicability and economy of the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system, and the single-objective optimization has great limitations. For this reason, the present invention establishes an optimization design model for the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system with the layout cost of the power generation units, the annual power generation, and the laying cost of the power collection cables as the objective functions, and proposes to comprehensively use NSACS and Pareto evaluation to perform multi-objective optimization on the established mathematical model of the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system design to obtain the Pareto front, and then obtain the optimal design scheme for the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system from the Pareto front based on the CWM-TOPSIS method.

This method establishes a layout cost model for the power generation units based on the definition of the minimum power generation unit, and then establishes an annual power generation model associated with the variable capacity ratio of the optimization variables. Subsequently, an integrated laying cost model for the power collection cables is established by integrating the improved Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm, the DM-MSTP (Dhouib Matrix Minimum Spanning Tree Problem) algorithm, and the automatic selection and sizing of the power collection cables. Then, the constraint conditions required for the design of the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system are set, and further a multi-objective optimization design model for the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system is established. The multi-objective optimization process is as Figure 2 shown. The present invention proposes a multi-objective optimization design scheme that integrates the Non dominated sorting artificial collaborative search (NSACS) algorithm and Pareto evaluation based on non-dominated sorting, and then generates the optimal solution based on the Composite Weighted TOPSIS (CWM-TOPSIS) method generated by the TOPSIS method with combined weights, so as to achieve the purpose of optimizing the design of the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system. Based on the obtained basic data, the present invention integrates NSACS and Pareto evaluation, performs multi-objective optimization on the established mathematical model of the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system design to obtain the Pareto front, and then obtains the optimal design scheme for the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system from the Pareto front based on the CWM-TOPSIS method, and generates the design drawing of the floating photovoltaic power station's power collection system.

Then, decrement the value of s by 1 and the value of r by 1, and continue to record the corresponding number of box-type substations mounted. If Link(1, s) ≠ Link(2, r), then decrement the value of r by 1, and continue to determine whether Link(1, s) is equal to Link(2, r - 1). Traverse forward in this way until the serial number is 1, and then end the traversal process. Record all the above connection processes in the same cell array, and denote this array as LJ. After completion, proceed to step S2334; S2334. In the collector cable connection table, find the nodes with an occurrence count greater than 2, and record the found nodes as u.
