[0002] As global demand for clean energy continues to grow, photovoltaic power plants, as a key component of renewable energy, are rapidly expanding in both speed and scale. However, PV power plants face numerous operational challenges, such as aging equipment, dust pollution, and environmental factors. These factors can lead to reduced power generation efficiency, impacting their economic benefits and sustainable development. Therefore, energy efficiency evaluation of PV power plants is particularly important. This not only provides a strong basis for operation and maintenance, but also effectively improves their overall performance and economic benefits.
[0003] Currently, PV power plant energy efficiency assessment methods primarily include statistical analysis and machine learning. These methods primarily focus on analyzing the efficiency of a single device or component, lacking a comprehensive assessment of the energy efficiency of the entire PV power plant system. This makes it difficult to determine the operating status of key PV plant equipment and the overall performance of the plant. When power generation efficiency issues arise in a PV plant, it's difficult to quickly pinpoint the problematic link. Furthermore, some existing assessment methods are complex, requiring large amounts of data and tedious calculation steps. This makes them impractical in practical applications and makes them difficult to meet the demand for rapid and accurate PV power plant assessments.
