[0108] Example 7:

[0109] Based on Embodiment 4, this embodiment of the invention provides a fully automatic mobile cleaning system for photovoltaic panels based on timed control, wherein the time determination unit includes:

[0110] The relationship determination unit is used to determine the correspondence between cleaning time points and photovoltaic panel characteristics from historical cleaning time setting information and historical photovoltaic panel conditions;

[0111] The time matching unit is used to determine the characteristics of future photovoltaic panels based on the predicted dust thickness distribution, predicted power generation efficiency trend and predicted weather trend, and to obtain the initial cleaning time point that matches the characteristics of future photovoltaic panels based on the correspondence.

[0112] The difference determination unit is used to obtain the equipment difference information between the current basic information and the historical basic information of the cleaning equipment, and to obtain the demand difference information between the current demand and the historical demand of photovoltaic power generation.

[0115] In this embodiment, the equipment differences between the current basic information and the historical basic information mainly come from the wear and tear caused by the long-term use of the cleaning equipment, such as differences in water spray volume and cleaning range.

[0116] In this embodiment, the demand difference information between current and historical demands is determined based on the actual situation, such as time requirements and cleaning effect requirements.

[0117] In this embodiment, the first unit time difference is the time difference caused by equipment limitations when completing the preset unit cleaning, and the second unit time difference is the time difference caused by different cleaning requirements when completing the preset unit cleaning. The first specific time difference is determined based on the quantitative relationship between the preset unit cleaning and the current cleaning, and the second specific time difference is determined based on the quantitative relationship between the preset unit cleaning and the current cleaning. The preset unit cleaning can be set independently. For example, the preset unit cleaning is used to complete the cleaning of photovoltaic panels with specific area and specific pollution. When the area increases and the degree of pollution increases, the cleaning time of the preset unit cleaning is increased proportionally.

[0118] In this embodiment, the initial cleaning time point is corrected based on the first specific time difference and the second specific time difference by adding the first specific time difference, the second specific time difference, and the initial cleaning time point to obtain the final cleaning time point.

[0119] The beneficial effects of the above design scheme are as follows: by determining the characteristics of future photovoltaic panels based on the predicted dust thickness distribution, predicted power generation efficiency trend and predicted weather trend, the initial cleaning time point matching the characteristics of future photovoltaic panels is obtained based on the correspondence. Then, the time point is corrected according to both equipment difference information and demand difference information to ensure the rationality of the obtained cleaning time point for photovoltaic panels. This not only ensures power generation efficiency but also reduces unnecessary cleaning that causes resource loss.

[0131] In this embodiment, the weighting of the indicator hierarchy structure is to apply weights to each indicator node, and the weighting of the dynamic evaluation structure is to apply weights to each dimension node.

[0132] In this embodiment, the weight coefficients of the initial path evaluation model are adjusted, for example, by adjusting the weights of the indicator nodes or dimension nodes.

[0133] In this embodiment, the normalization relationship between indicators is to standardize the indicator values ​​under the same dimension to eliminate the differences caused by different units.

[0134] The beneficial effects of the above design scheme are as follows: By hierarchically dividing the first, second, and third indicators based on the causal relationship between evaluation dimensions and indicators, a hierarchical indicator structure is obtained. Furthermore, based on the degree of influence between evaluation dimensions and indicators, the hierarchical indicator structure is weighted to obtain a weighted hierarchical indicator structure. This achieves the integration and weighting of indicators, ensuring that the obtained weighted hierarchical indicator structure accurately evaluates from an indicator perspective. It also obtains dynamic indicators from the first, second, and third indicators, and establishes fuzzy control rules for the dynamic indicators based on their impact on evaluation dimensions. These fuzzy control rules are then added to the structural position of the dynamic indicators within the static evaluation structure, resulting in a dynamic evaluation structure. This achieves dynamic control over the evaluation process, allowing the evaluation to adapt to different cleaning environments. The allocation ratio of evaluation dimensions is also considered. The dynamic evaluation structure is weighted to obtain a weighted dynamic evaluation structure. An initial path evaluation model is established based on the weighted dynamic evaluation structure to accurately evaluate from multiple dimensions. Path information from historical data is input into the initial path evaluation model to obtain predicted cleaning results. Based on the difference between the predicted cleaning results and the actual cleaning results, the weight coefficients of the initial path evaluation model are adjusted to obtain the target path evaluation model. The model is optimized based on historical data to improve its evaluation capabilities. Multiple initial paths are input into the target path evaluation model for evaluation to obtain preliminary and evaluation results. The initial path corresponding to the best predicted evaluation result is selected as the final clean path. The superiority of the final clean path is ensured by considering multiple factors. The selection of the clean path ensures power generation efficiency while reducing the energy consumption of photovoltaic panels for clean energy.
