Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural irrigation intelligent control systems, and in particular to a wind-solar complementary 4G remote valve control system and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Remote valve control systems in agricultural irrigation are crucial for achieving precision irrigation. However, in remote areas without a power grid, system power supply and communication stability face significant challenges. Traditional valve control systems primarily rely on a single photovoltaic power supply solution, converting solar energy into electricity to drive valves and communication modules. However, this power supply method has significant drawbacks in practical applications.
[0003] At present, the existing remote valve control systems generally have the following shortcomings:
[0004] 1. In rainy or foggy weather, the traditional photovoltaic power supply system has a low light intensity and low power generation threshold (I light th ), power generation decreases sharply or even approaches zero (e.g., on rainy days, photovoltaic power generation has almost no output). This directly leads to system power outages and paralysis, valve control failure, and irrigation interruption.
[0005] 2. Existing systems mostly rely on low-bandwidth communication methods (such as GPRS), which are difficult to support real-time transmission of multi-dimensional data (including wind speed V w , battery SOC status, valve fault signal). Communication delay causes the control instructions to be inconsistent with the farmland water demand (such as Q req calculation model) mismatch, exacerbating the waste of water resources.
[0006] In addition, due to the lack of wind and solar energy coordination mechanism, the system cannot automatically switch to wind energy as the main power source when the sunlight is insufficient, and it is difficult to dynamically optimize the energy distribution weight (such as a w ,a p This not only leaves wind energy resources idle, but also requires additional diesel generators, increasing operation and maintenance costs and carbon emissions.
[0007] Therefore, in view of this, an innovative breakthrough is made to the power supply instability and communication bottleneck of the existing technology, and a wind-solar complementary 4G remote valve control system and its control method are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0067] The present invention will be further described below.
[0068] Example 1: Hardware deployment and initialization of a wind-solar hybrid 4G remote valve control system
[0069] 1. System hardware composition:
[0070] Wind power generation module: vertical axis wind turbine with rated power of 500-1000W and blade swept area A=2.5m 2 , cut-in wind speed V min =2.5m / s.
[0071] Photovoltaic power generation module: polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic panel (A p =1.6m 2 , conversion efficiency η p =18%), and the installation tilt is adjusted according to the local latitude to maximize light energy capture.
[0072] Energy storage device: lithium iron phosphate battery pack (capacity 100Ah, voltage 24V), SOC operating range SOC min =20%, SOC max =95%.
[0073] 4G communication module: supports TCP / MQTT / Cat-1 communication protocols, built-in SIM card, uplink bandwidth ≥5Mbps.
[0074] Central controller: STM32F407 microprocessor, integrated ADC acquisition interface and PWM output.
[0075] Valve control unit: electric regulating valve (flow range Q max =50m 3 / h), opening resolution 1%.
[0076] 2. System initialization settings:
[0077] Set the light intensity threshold I th =150W / m 2 (Rainy weather judgment value);
[0078] Configure fan fault detection parameters δ w =50W / s,∈=0.1m / s 2 ;
[0079] Initialize the photovoltaic MPPT disturbance step size ΔV = 0.5V, and the adaptive coefficient γ = 0.02.
[0080] Example 2: Wind-solar hybrid power supply control process
[0081] Step 1: Real-time data collection
[0082] The sensor collects wind speed V every 2 to 10 seconds: w , light intensity I light , ambient temperature T, battery SOC.
[0083] Data verification: If V w >25m / s triggers fan shutdown protection; if I light >1000W / m 2 Enable the photovoltaic panel cooling strategy.
[0084] Step 2: Dynamic Energy Allocation
[0085] Main power supply switching logic:
[0086] 1. Environmental parameter determination stage
[0087] Continuously monitor the light intensity (I_light) and wind speed (V_w)
[0088] Set the photovoltaic power generation threshold I_th = 150 W / m 2 , and the wind turbine startup wind speed V_min = 3 m / s
[0089] 2. Dynamic calculation of weight coefficients
[0090] Condition 1: When the light is insufficient and the wind power meets the standard (I_light < I_th and V_w ≥ V_min)
[0091] The wind energy weight a_w is calculated according to the exponential function:
[0092]
[0093] (The coefficient 0.7 is the wind energy conversion efficiency correction factor)
[0094] The photovoltaic weight a_p takes the complementary value: a_p = 1 - a_w <00 / / 314>Condition 2: Other situations (sufficient light or insufficient wind)
[0096] The photovoltaic weight a_p is inversely proportional to the light intensity:
[0097]
[0098] (I_max = 1000 W / m 2 is the maximum tolerable light of the photovoltaic panel)
[0099] The wind energy weight a_w takes the complementary value: a_w = 1 - a_p
[0100] 3. Execution of main power supply switching
[0101] When a_w > 0.5, the system automatically switches to wind energy as the main power supply
[0102] When a_p > 0.5, the system automatically switches to photovoltaic as the main power supply
[0103] The weight coefficients are updated every 10 seconds to avoid frequent switching
[0104] Power difference compensation:
[0105] Calculate the load power P load (valve drive + 4G module), if a w [[ID= / / 68]]> 0.5, then P w < a[[ID= / / 71]] w Pload ,but:
[0106] ΔP=|P load -(a w P w +a p P p )|,I dis =min(ΔP / V batt ,I dis-max )
[0107] Note: I dis-max =20A, and discharge is allowed only when SOC>20%
[0108] Step 3: Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
[0109] Photovoltaic MPPT voltage iteration formula:
[0110]
[0111] Example: When ΔV = 0.5V, γ automatically adjusts with the light gradient to improve efficiency in cloudy conditions.
[0112] Example 3: Irrigation Control and Communication Optimization
[0113] 1. Precise valve adjustment:
[0114] Receive cloud platform instructions and calculate water demand Q req :
[0115]
[0116] Parameter setting: crop coefficient k c =0.8, irrigation efficiency η irr =85%, farmland area per mu A crop =10 mu. Valve opening control:
[0117] is the flow correction factor
[0118] (k=0.95 is the flow correction coefficient)
[0119] 2. 4G communication bandwidth optimization:
[0120] Dynamically adjust the sampling period T s and the transmission power P tx :
[0121]
[0122] Execution strategy:
[0123] When the channel quality ||h|| 2>0.8, reduce P tx Up to 10dBm, extending battery life;
[0124] Shorten T when transmitting fault data s To 100ms, ensuring real-time performance.
[0125] Example 4: Fault Diagnosis and Cost Optimization
[0126] 1. Fault self-diagnosis:
[0127] Fan failure: If |dP is detected w / dt|>50W / s and |dV w / dt|<0.1m / s 2 , determine that the machine is stuck, trigger a shutdown and report to the platform.
[0128] Photovoltaic abnormality: when If dust accumulation or damage is detected, a cleaning alarm will be activated.
[0129] 2. Operation cost optimization:
[0130] Objective function: Minimize diesel backup power P g (t) and maintenance cost C m :
[0131]
[0132] Constraint strategy:
[0133] Prioritize wind and solar power supply (x1, x2 = 1), only when SOC < 20% and P total <P load Start the diesel engine (x3=1).
