Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of agricultural-photovoltaic complementary technology, and specifically relates to a method for generating electricity by constructing a photovoltaic power station using the idle period of cultivated land between autumn harvest and spring plowing, and two pre-installed photovoltaic panel brackets. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation, as a clean energy generation solution, has received strong national support due to its abundant resources, clean and environmentally friendly nature, and sustainable utilization. Most areas in Northeast China receive 1200-1600 hours of sunshine (comparable to the national average). Central and western Liaoning, western Jilin, and eastern Inner Mongolia (such as Tongliao and Chifeng) enjoy relatively high sunshine hours (1400-1600 hours). Western Jilin, the Sanjiang Plain of Heilongjiang, eastern Inner Mongolia, and central and western Liaoning all have large amounts of arable land, which remains idle for seven months from October to May. While northern China offers excellent sunshine resources for photovoltaic power generation, its mountainous regions are rich in forestry resources. Beyond forested areas and arable land, suitable land for photovoltaic power generation is limited. Compared to other regions, the scale of photovoltaic power station construction in Northeast China is limited by natural conditions. This is primarily due to a shortage of photovoltaic land plots that meet both land use policies and photovoltaic power generation requirements. This significantly impacts photovoltaic development in the north. This invention addresses both the land availability issues for photovoltaic power generation and the winter idleness of arable land in the north. Figure 1 This is a map of the current status of cultivated land in the north. Since most people in the north use coal for heating in winter, this will result in a large amount of non-renewable fuel consumption.

[0003] Photovoltaic power stations currently generally use pile foundations and concrete pier foundations as the support foundation model of photovoltaic power stations. This method is suitable for the construction of permanent photovoltaic power stations and is not suitable for use on cultivated land.

[0004] Photovoltaic power station supports are mostly single-column, double-column, or frame-type. Currently, photovoltaic panel installation is largely done manually, which is inefficient. The foundation and support structure of the photovoltaic power station cannot meet the requirements of rapid installation and removal.

[0005] The general construction sequence for a photovoltaic power station is: ① Place the pile foundation points according to the design. ② Pile foundation construction. ③ Install the photovoltaic racks. ④ Install the photovoltaic panels. ⑤ Install the photovoltaic strings and other supporting projects. The pile foundation is a fixed structure.

[0006] Based on the above situation, it is necessary to provide a method for photovoltaic power generation by utilizing the idle period of cultivated land from autumn harvest to spring plowing to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Photovoltaic power generation is carried out by utilizing the idle period of cultivated land in the north. The problem affecting the implementation of photovoltaic power generation is the lack of land available for photovoltaic power stations. The cultivated land in the north enters the idle period after the autumn harvest. Figure 1 The present invention applies to utilize the northern land to construct a photovoltaic power station to implement power generation projects during the idle period between the autumn harvest and the next spring plowing. Figure 2 Its characteristics include utilizing idle farmland in northern China for photovoltaic power generation. The photovoltaic power station is installed after the autumn harvest and put into operation, and then dismantled and recycled before spring plowing. This allows for photovoltaic power generation during idle land periods, creating greater economic and social benefits.

[0008] Photovoltaic panels for photovoltaic power generation are generally fixed on photovoltaic supports. In order to resist wind loads, photovoltaic supports are equipped with foundation piers that can resist wind loads, such as Figure 3 . The foundation is generally a pile foundation and a concrete pier foundation. Both foundations are fixed structures and are not suitable for use during the idle period of cultivated land. In addition, the construction period is long and the demolition cost is high. It is not suitable for rapid installation and demolition. In order to achieve the purpose of photovoltaic power generation during the idle period of cultivated land, this application provides two cultivated land soil ballasted prefabricated photovoltaic brackets. The first photovoltaic prefabricated bracket adopts an inverted cone structure and uses cultivated land soil for ballasting. The ballasting is used to resist wind loads. As Figure 4 , Figure 5 This structure can realize the rapid installation and recovery of photovoltaic brackets and is convenient for storage. Figure 6 . Prefabricated photovoltaic brackets replace concrete foundations, pile foundations, and bracket installation, which can realize the construction of automated installation of photovoltaic panels. Prefabricated photovoltaic brackets can be made of lightweight materials such as fiberglass and high-strength clinker. The soil ballast plate, bracket, and photovoltaic fixed bracket are prefabricated in one piece. Its characteristics are: the ballast of cultivated land is used to replace the pile foundation or concrete pier foundation, and a prefabricated or semi-prefabricated structure and an inverted cone structure are used. Nuts are embedded in the connector position for quick installation. The preforming technology of lightweight and high-strength materials is used, which is light and easy to install and disassemble. Modular prefabrication and stable external dimensions facilitate mechanical automation installation. The use of inverted cone ballast soil to replace concrete foundations and steel brackets can reduce construction period and reduce construction costs.

[0009] The second type of photovoltaic prefabricated bracket adopts a positive wedge structure, such as Figure 8 The structure and function are equivalent to the first structure. Compared with the first structure, the second structure takes up less space after disassembly and is more convenient to carry and store. Figure 9 Materials can be lightweight, high-strength materials such as fiberglass and plastic. Features include a separately molded baseplate for soil ballast, a simple bracket structure connecting the baseplate and the photovoltaic panel mounting bracket, and pre-embedded nuts at the connection points for easy construction. The core concept is that the pre-installed photovoltaic bracket can achieve soil ballast, replacing a concrete foundation.

[0010] To solve the problem that traditional photovoltaic power station construction and installation are not suitable for installing photovoltaic power generation during idle farmland, the photovoltaic power station component installation implementation technology method applied in the present invention is as follows: ① Use automated machinery to groove, level and compact the cultivated land after autumn harvest ② Streamline assembly of prefabricated photovoltaic brackets, installation of photovoltaic panels, and fixing of photovoltaic panels ③ Use automated machinery to plant prefabricated photovoltaic brackets that have already fixed photovoltaic panels ④ Use automated machinery to backfill and ballast the prefabricated photovoltaic brackets that have already fixed the photovoltaic panels.

[0011] The present invention is characterized in that: the photovoltaic power station construction does not require the installation of a solid foundation pier, but uses farmland soil to ballast the photovoltaic brackets, and the brackets for pre-installed photovoltaic panels can be arranged as a whole at the planned site. The pre-installed photovoltaic panel brackets can be implemented in a streamlined manner.

[0012] After the construction method of the present invention is implemented, photovoltaic power generation projects can be realized during the idle period of cultivated land, thereby improving the commercial value of the idle period of cultivated land. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
