TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic power generation, in particular to a photovoltaic power output optimization control method fusing peak-valley electricity price period characteristics. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of photovoltaic power generation technology and the widespread application of time-of-use electricity price policy, how to maximize the benefits of photovoltaic power generation has become a key problem for power station operation. The time-of-use electricity price policy divides a day into different electricity price periods such as peak period, flat period and valley period, among which the electricity price in the peak period is higher and the electricity price in the valley period is lower. The output power of photovoltaic power generation is affected by factors such as irradiance, weather conditions and array layout, and has significant intermittency and volatility, resulting in a mismatch between the power generation curve and the electricity price curve. For example, in an east-west asymmetrically laid photovoltaic array, the east array generates more power in the morning and the west array generates more power in the afternoon, but the peak electricity price period may occur in the period of high morning and evening electricity demand, so that the photovoltaic power generation is insufficient in the high price period and excessive in the low price period, thereby reducing the overall power generation benefit. The existing photovoltaic power control methods mostly focus on maximum power point tracking or local shadow optimization, but lack deep integration with the time-of-use electricity price policy, and cannot dynamically adjust the power output to match the electricity price period. In addition, the traditional method is difficult to cope with real-time irradiance changes and shadow shading, resulting in low power generation efficiency and benefit loss. Therefore, in the time-of-use electricity price environment, how to match the photovoltaic power generation curve with the peak-valley electricity price period through optimization control has become a core problem to improve power generation benefit.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] As attached Figures 1-5 As shown; This embodiment discloses a photovoltaic power output optimization control method that integrates peak-valley electricity price time characteristics, including the following steps: S1. Based on the local power grid's peak-valley electricity price period division and electricity price information, and combined with the east-west asymmetric layout characteristics of the photovoltaic array, establish and run a power generation-electricity price coupling model to generate the power allocation strategy and inverter operating parameters of the east-west photovoltaic array; wherein, the peak-valley electricity price period includes peak period, flat period and low period.

[0028] The implementation process is as follows: first, obtain the time-of-use electricity price policy file from the local grid operator or the public interface or data file of the electricity market platform, which is usually stored in a structured format such as XML, JSON or CSV, containing the start and end timestamps of the peak period, flat period and valley period and the corresponding electricity value. Extract these key parameters through the parsing module, and generate a continuous electricity price curve based on the time series, which reflects the electricity price fluctuations in different periods, providing basic input for subsequent power generation revenue optimization. At the same time, the system combines the east-west asymmetric layout characteristics of the photovoltaic array, the east photovoltaic array uses double-sided generating components to utilize the morning low-angle sunlight and scattered light to improve overall power generation efficiency, and the west photovoltaic array uses monocrystalline silicon components to resist the influence of high-temperature environment in the afternoon. The capacity ratio of the east photovoltaic array (i.e. the ratio of the total capacity of the east photovoltaic array to the rated capacity of the east inverter) ranges from 1.3 to 1.5, and the capacity ratio of the west photovoltaic array (i.e. the ratio of the total capacity of the west photovoltaic array to the rated capacity of the west inverter) ranges from 1.1 to 1.3, to adapt to the irradiation characteristics and temperature tolerance requirements of different orientations.

[0029] Further, the east photovoltaic array tilt angle is set to 10°-15°, and the west photovoltaic array tilt angle is set to 15°-20°; the specific values of the east-west photovoltaic array tilt angle are determined by simulating and comparing multiple scenarios through photovoltaic simulation software, taking into account the local latitude, typical meteorological year data and roof structure constraints, and optimizing to maximize power generation revenue; the tilt angle design takes into account the structural safety requirements including wind load and snow load, and the support system meets the additional load requirement of not less than 25 kg / m².

[0030] In terms of power generation simulation, a power generation prediction model is constructed based on historical irradiation data and photovoltaic component performance parameters. Historical irradiation data comes from local weather stations or satellite irradiation databases, including multi-year hourly global horizontal irradiance and diffuse irradiance records, and combined with the installation tilt angle, azimuth angle and geographic coordinates of the photovoltaic array for coordinate conversion and inclined plane correction to accurately reflect the actual light receiving conditions of the east and west photovoltaic arrays. Photovoltaic component performance parameters include component efficiency, temperature coefficient and attenuation rate, which are obtained through technical specification tables provided by component manufacturers or field measurement data, and used to calculate the actual output efficiency of photovoltaic components under different environmental temperatures. Through simulation, the hourly power generation curves of the east and west photovoltaic arrays in different seasons (such as spring, summer, autumn and winter) and weather types (such as sunny, cloudy and rainy) are simulated, taking into account factors such as component temperature change, shadow shading loss and inverter conversion efficiency, to generate high-precision power generation time series data.

[0031] Then, the power generation curves of the east and west photovoltaic arrays are time-series superimposed with the electricity price curve to maximize the net income or minimize the cost per kilowatt-hour in the whole life cycle of the project, and the initial power distribution strategy and inverter operating parameters of the east and west photovoltaic arrays are generated through an optimization algorithm. The determination of the optimization objective function is crucial: if the maximum net income in the whole life cycle of the project is taken as the objective, the objective function is based on the maximization of the net value after the total power generation income is subtracted from the investment cost and operation and maintenance cost, wherein the total power generation income is obtained by integrating the product of power generation and corresponding electricity price, and the investment cost includes the initial investment of photovoltaic arrays and inverters, and the operation and maintenance cost includes cleaning, maintenance and monitoring fees; if the minimum cost per kilowatt-hour is taken as the objective, the objective function is based on the minimization of the value after the total power generation is divided by the total cost, and the total cost also covers the investment and operation and maintenance parts. The set of decision variables includes the east inverter operating parameters and the west inverter operating parameters, wherein the east inverter operating parameters include the east inverter maximum power point tracking voltage range and the east inverter output power limit, and the west inverter operating parameters include the west inverter maximum power point tracking voltage range and the west inverter output power limit. The setting of the constraint conditions ensures the feasibility of the system: the inverter maximum power point tracking voltage range constraint is based on the inverter technical specifications to prevent the voltage from exceeding the safe operating interval; the inverter output power limit constraint is based on the power generation curves of the east and west photovoltaic arrays to ensure that the output power limit does not exceed the maximum possible power generation under given irradiation conditions, avoiding overload or efficiency loss. The optimization algorithm adopts genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization or gradient descent algorithm, for example, the genetic algorithm iteratively optimizes the decision variables through selection, crossover and mutation operations, the particle swarm optimization searches for the optimal solution based on swarm intelligence, and the gradient descent algorithm uses the gradient of the objective function for local optimization. The algorithm iteratively optimizes the set of decision variables under the premise of meeting the constraint conditions to obtain the optimal solution, which corresponds to a set of power distribution strategies and inverter operating parameters of the east and west photovoltaic arrays; the power distribution strategy is determined by the optimized inverter operating parameters, including the power output distribution scheme of the east and west photovoltaic arrays in the peak period, the flat period and the valley period, for example, the east array output is preferentially improved in the peak period to utilize the high morning electricity price, the east and west outputs are balanced in the flat period, and the output is reduced in the valley period to save inverter loss; the inverter operating parameters include the maximum power point tracking voltage range and the output power limit of the inverter, which are dynamically adjusted through the optimization algorithm to ensure the optimal matching of the power generation curve and the electricity price curve, maximizing the power generation income or minimizing the cost per kilowatt-hour.

[0032] S2, real-time monitoring of the irradiance and power generation of the photovoltaic array; wherein the photovoltaic array is composed of a plurality of groups of strings, the irradiance is obtained by a irradiance sensor, and the power generation is obtained by a group string level current-voltage sensor.

[0033] The specific implementation process is as follows: the basic irradiance data is collected in real time by deploying irradiance sensors at key monitoring points of the east-west photovoltaic array, the irradiance sensors adopt at least one high-precision photovoltaic radiometer conforming to the IEC 61724 standard, the spectral response range of which covers 300-1100nm, and the installation position is strictly perpendicular to the surface of the photovoltaic module to accurately measure the total irradiance incident on the module plane. In order to avoid sensor installation deviation and environmental interference, the system introduces an irradiance calibration coefficient to correct the original measurement value: first, the theoretical irradiance receiving efficiency is calculated based on the actual installation inclination of the photovoltaic array (the inclination of the east photovoltaic array is set to 10°-15°, and the inclination of the west photovoltaic array is set to 15°-20°) and the azimuth (the east photovoltaic array corresponds to 90° / the west photovoltaic array corresponds to 270°), and then a dynamically updated irradiance calibration coefficient matrix is generated through regression analysis of the readouts of the standard radiometer and the actual power generation data on site (the irradiance calibration coefficient of the east photovoltaic array ranges from 0.98 to 1.02, and the irradiance calibration coefficient of the west photovoltaic array ranges from 0.97 to 1.03). The corrected irradiance intensity calculation formula is: ; wherein, represents the corrected irradiance intensity; represents the corresponding basic irradiance intensity; represents the corresponding irradiance calibration coefficient.

[0034] In terms of power generation, the system collects the output characteristics of each string in real time through high-precision current and voltage sensors (accuracy level 0.5 level) at the string level, the current sensor measures 0-15A range direct current by using Hall effect principle, and the voltage sensor measures 0-1000V direct voltage by using resistance voltage division method. The string power generation is calculated by multiplying the real-time current and voltage, and is subjected to temperature compensation processing (based on PT1000 temperature sensor data to correct the influence of module temperature). All monitoring data (including corrected irradiance intensity, string power generation, and module backboard temperature) are associated with high-precision time stamps (error ±1ms) generated by Beidou / GPS clock, transmitted to edge computing gateway through Modbus-RTU protocol, stored in time series database InfluxDB after data validity verification (eliminate abnormal values and jump points), the storage period is 1 minute per piece, and the retention period is not less than 3 years. The database is deployed in a distributed architecture, the master node is responsible for real-time data writing, and the slave node supports historical data query and analysis interface calling, ensuring the integrity and traceability of the monitoring data.

[0035] S3, based on the generated power distribution strategy and inverter operation parameters, and combined with the real-time monitored irradiance and power generation, dynamically adjusts the power output of the east-west photovoltaic array to make the power generation curve match the peak-valley electricity price period, so as to maximize the power generation benefit.

[0036] The implementation process is as follows: first, based on the power allocation strategy, the power output target value of the east-west photovoltaic array corresponding to the current peak-valley electricity price period is obtained. The power allocation strategy includes the power output allocation scheme of the east-west photovoltaic array in the peak period, the flat period and the valley period. For example, in the peak period (such as the high electricity price period defined by the local power grid, usually 8:00-12:00 in the morning and 18:00-22:00 in the evening), the power output target value may be set to more than 90% of the east photovoltaic array output power limit to take advantage of the morning high electricity price; in the flat period (such as 12:00-18:00), the power output target value is adjusted to the east-west balanced output; in the valley period (such as 22:00-8:00 the next day), the power output target value is reduced to the minimum running power to save inverter loss. The system automatically identifies the current belonging to the peak-valley electricity price period through the real-time clock module and the electricity price strategy database, and queries the corresponding power output target value. These target values are stored in the form of preset power percentage or absolute power value, and are dynamically calibrated according to the season and weather type. Next, the system obtains the predicted power generation of the east-west photovoltaic array based on the real-time monitored irradiance through the photovoltaic power generation power calculation model. The photovoltaic power generation power calculation model is based on the conversion efficiency, temperature coefficient and real-time irradiance of the photovoltaic module. Specifically, the calculation formula of the predicted power generation is: ; wherein, represents the predicted power generation (unit: kilowatt), represents the corrected irradiance (unit: W / m²), which is obtained by the irradiation sensor and corrected by the calibration coefficient; represents the effective light receiving area of the photovoltaic array (unit: m²), which is determined according to the installation layout and component quantity of the east-west photovoltaic array; represents the nominal conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module, which is based on the component technical parameters (such as the east double-sided power generation component efficiency is about 21%, and the west single-crystal silicon component efficiency is about 19.5%); represents the temperature coefficient (unit: % / °C), the typical value is -0.35% / °C; represents the real-time temperature of the photovoltaic module (unit: °C), which is monitored by the backboard temperature sensor; represents the reference temperature (usually 25°C). The model is run by the edge computing gateway in real time, and the predicted value is updated every 5 minutes, and combined with historical irradiation data and weather forecast for rolling optimization to improve the prediction accuracy.

[0037] Then, the system takes the power output target value as the final control target, and combines the current power generation capacity represented by the predicted power generation, based on the real-time monitored power generation and the power output target value, the power adjustment algorithm dynamically adjusts the inverter operating parameters of the east-west photovoltaic array. The power adjustment algorithm adopts proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm or model predictive control algorithm, which is used to minimize the power generation deviation and make the power output of the east-west photovoltaic array close to the power output target value within the physically feasible range. In the embodiment, the proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm is preferably used; for example, when the proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm is used, the control error defined as the difference between the real-time monitored power generation and the power output target value : ; the output of the proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm is used to adjust the maximum power point tracking voltage range or output power limit value of the inverter, and its expression is: ; wherein , and are proportional, integral and differential gain coefficients, which are determined by field debugging and simulation optimization (for example, the of the east photovoltaic array is set to 0.8, is set to 0.1, is set to 0.05; the of the west photovoltaic array is set to 0.7, is set to 0.15, is set to 0.04 to ensure fast and stable system response. For example, when using a model predictive control algorithm, the model predictive control algorithm employs a rolling optimization method based on a linear state-space model and a quadratic program. Specifically, the model predictive control algorithm takes the power output of the east and west photovoltaic arrays as the system state, and the inverter operating parameters (such as maximum power point tracking reference values) as control inputs, and constructs a quadratic performance index with the goal of maximizing power generation revenue and minimizing power fluctuations over a future number of sampling periods (such as a prediction horizon of 10 periods). At each control period, using the real-time updated prediction sequence of irradiance and temperature, a constrained quadratic programming problem is solved online to obtain the optimal inverter control sequence, and only the first step control instruction in the sequence is sent to the inverter for execution, and the optimization process is repeated in the next period to achieve forward-looking dynamic power adjustment. The system is based on short-term prediction data such as irradiance, temperature, and peak-valley electricity price information for a future period (such as 15-30 minutes), and solves a rolling optimization problem with the goal of maximizing power generation revenue at multiple future times. The system performs a control cycle every 30 seconds, calculates the control amount in real time and sends it to the inverter controller, and dynamically adjusts the inverter operating parameters, such as adjusting the east inverter maximum power point tracking voltage range to 450-800V and the west inverter output power limit to 85% of the rated power, to smooth the power fluctuations and reduce the deviation.

[0038] During dynamic adjustment, the system also considers physical constraints such as inverter maximum power point tracking voltage range constraints (east inverter voltage range limited to 400-820V and west inverter voltage range limited to 420-800V) and inverter output power limit constraints (based on the simulated power generation power curve of the east and west photovoltaic arrays, to ensure that the output power does not exceed the maximum possible power generation power under given irradiance conditions). For example, when the real-time irradiance intensity drops suddenly, the predicted power generation power may be lower than the power output target value, and the system reduces the inverter output power limit through a proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm to avoid overload; conversely, when the irradiance is sufficient, the output is increased to approach the target value.

[0039] Finally, based on the adjusted inverter operating parameters, the system controls the power output of the east and west photovoltaic arrays through the inverter communication interface (such as Modbus-TCP or SunSpec protocol) to match the power generation curve with the peak-valley electricity price period. For example, during the peak period, the system preferentially increases the output power of the east photovoltaic array to take advantage of the high morning irradiance and high electricity price; during the flat period, the east and west outputs are balanced to maintain network stability; during the valley period, the output is reduced to reduce inverter loss and grid impact. The entire process is closed-loop feedback through real-time data to maximize power generation revenue, while the system records an adjustment log every 15 minutes, including power deviation, control action, and revenue indicators, for subsequent performance analysis and model optimization.

[0040] S4, by a dynamic string switching method, automatically adjusting the string connection state of the east and west photovoltaic arrays according to real-time irradiance changes and shadow blocking; wherein the dynamic string switching is based on a short-term irradiance prediction algorithm to predict future power generation capacity, and when irradiance significantly decreases or shadow blocking occurs, the affected string is automatically removed and reconnected when the light conditions recover.

[0041] The implementation process is as follows: in the implementation of the dynamic group string switching method, the system first predicts the future power generation capacity of the east-west photovoltaic array based on a short-term irradiance prediction algorithm. The short-term irradiance prediction algorithm integrates historical irradiance data, real-time weather data and machine learning models, where the historical irradiance data comes from local weather stations or satellite irradiance databases, including multi-year hourly global horizontal irradiance and scattered irradiance records, real-time weather data is obtained through weather monitoring stations deployed on site, including cloud cover, temperature, humidity, wind speed and atmospheric pressure and other multi-dimensional parameters. The machine learning model uses a long short-term memory network architecture, which includes time series irradiance data, weather variables and seasonal characteristics in the input layer, 128 neurons in the hidden layer, and an output layer to predict the irradiance intensity change curve within 30 minutes to 2 hours in the future; during model training, the historical one-year data is used as the training set, the root mean square error is used as the loss function, and the Adam optimizer is used for iterative optimization until the prediction accuracy reaches more than 90%. The prediction result is output in the form of minute-by-minute irradiance value and stored in the cache of the edge computing gateway for subsequent power generation capacity evaluation and decision support. Real-time monitoring involves continuously collecting data from irradiance sensors and string-level current and voltage sensors installed at key locations on the east-west photovoltaic array. The irradiance sensor uses a high-precision photovoltaic radiometer, which is installed vertically to the surface of the photovoltaic module, with a measurement range of 0-1500 W / m² and an accuracy of ±2%; the string power is obtained in real time by a Hall effect current sensor and a resistance voltage divider voltage sensor, with a sampling frequency of 1 Hz, and the data is processed by temperature compensation and noise filtering. The comparison between real-time irradiance intensity and the preset irradiance threshold is used to identify significant irradiance decline events, and the preset irradiance threshold is dynamically adjusted according to the typical irradiance level and seasonal characteristics of the east-west photovoltaic array, for example, in summer, the irradiance threshold of the east photovoltaic array is set to 600 W / m², and the west photovoltaic array is set to 550 W / m², and when the real-time irradiance intensity decreases by more than 30% in 5 minutes, it is determined to be a significant irradiance decline event. Shadow shading events are identified by analyzing the sudden change in string power: the system calculates the power difference between each string and the power of adjacent strings, and if the difference exceeds 15% and is accompanied by a simultaneous decrease in irradiance, the string is marked as an affected string; at the same time, a sliding window mechanism is introduced to analyze the trend of the power data to distinguish between transient fluctuations and persistent shading.

[0042] When a significant irradiance drop or shadowing event is identified, an automatic string tripping operation is triggered. The determination of affected strings is based on real-time monitoring data of string power generation, combined with the output of short-term irradiance prediction algorithm, to ensure that only the truly affected strings are isolated. The tripping operation is achieved by controlling the switching devices at string level, which include high-reliability relays or solid-state switches with a rated current of 15 A, a rated voltage of 1000 V DC, and a switching time of less than 100 milliseconds. The system sends tripping instructions to the switch controller through Modbus-RTU or CAN bus protocol, which contains the string identifier and action code; during the tripping process, the system records the string state change log, including timestamp, string number, tripping reason and operation result, and updates the topology connection diagram of the photovoltaic array in real time. After tripping, the affected strings are isolated from the main circuit to avoid lowering the overall array voltage and increasing system loss, while the system adjusts the maximum power point tracking parameters through the inverter communication interface to adapt to the new array configuration.

[0043] When the light conditions recover, the system automatically reconnects the previously tripped strings. The determination of light condition recovery is based on the comparison of real-time monitored irradiance and the preset recovery threshold, which is set by the output of the short-term irradiance prediction algorithm and the historical performance data of the east and west photovoltaic arrays, for example, when the real-time irradiance is stable above the threshold for 10 minutes (the east photovoltaic array recovery threshold is set to 500 W / m², and the west photovoltaic array recovery threshold is set to 480 W / m²) and there is no significant downward trend in the next 30 minutes, the reconnection operation is triggered. The reconnection process is performed through the same string-level switching devices, the system first performs a pre-check on the strings to be reconnected, including checking whether their open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current are within the normal range, to avoid the risk of reverse current or shock; after the pre-check is passed, the controller sends a reconnection instruction, and after the switch is closed, the string is reconnected to the circuit, and the system updates the routing state and restores the power collection of the string. The reconnection operation adopts a soft start strategy, which gradually increases the inverter's absorbed power to avoid sudden current surge, ensuring smooth transition of the system.

[0044] The dynamic group string switching module is used to optimize the overall power generation efficiency of the east-west photovoltaic array. The dynamic group string switching module adjusts the connection state of the group string in real time to maintain high-efficiency power generation of the photovoltaic array under varying irradiance and shadow shielding conditions. The core logic is to maximize the output of available group strings and minimize mismatch loss. The switching decision is coupled with the power generation-price coupling model to ensure that the power generation curve matches the peak and valley price period: for example, during the peak period, the system preferentially maintains the full connection of the group strings of the east photovoltaic array to take advantage of the high price, and does not remove the group strings even if they are slightly shaded; during the flat or valley period, the switching is strictly based on the efficiency principle. The system performs global optimization calculation every 5 minutes, re-evaluates the group string switching scheme based on short-term irradiance prediction, real-time load and price strategy, and issues decision instructions to the field equipment through an anti-interference communication protocol. The whole process realizes the intelligent self-healing and efficiency improvement of the photovoltaic array, and generates performance reports at the edge gateway, including switching times, power generation gain and income impact indicators, which are used for subsequent model calibration and operation and maintenance analysis.

[0045] S5, periodically updating the power generation-price coupling model to reflect changes in electricity price policy and photovoltaic array performance degradation, and performing sensitivity analysis to evaluate the impact of narrowing the peak-valley price difference on power generation income.

[0046] The specific implementation process is as follows: the model updating process is triggered by a preset update period or an external event driving mechanism, where the preset update period can be configured to perform a comprehensive update once a month, once a quarter or once a year, and the external events include the event of the local power grid issuing a new time-of-use electricity price policy document or the event of the operation and maintenance platform generating a photovoltaic array performance detection report. When the trigger condition is met, the system first obtains the latest electricity price policy information from the open data interface of the local power grid operator or the electricity market platform, which is transmitted in a structured format (such as JSON or XML) and contains the start and end times of the peak period, the flat period and the valley period and the corresponding electricity value, and the key parameters are extracted by the data parsing module to regenerate the electricity price curve. At the same time, the system analyzes the photovoltaic array performance degradation data based on the historical power generation data (such as time series data collected by group string level current voltage sensors) stored in the monitoring database and the photovoltaic module field detection report, including the annual degradation rate of the component efficiency (usually ), temperature coefficient drift value and backboard light transmittance change amount, which are calculated by linear regression model and initial performance parameters.

[0047] After acquiring the updated tariff policy information and the photovoltaic array performance degradation data, the system performs a basic update on the power generation-tariff coupling model: first, replace the tariff curve in the model with the latest version, and correct the performance parameters of the photovoltaic components based on the degradation data, for example, adjust the efficiency of the east-side double-sided power generation component from the initial 21% to 20.6%, and adjust the efficiency of the west-side monocrystalline silicon component from 19.5% to 19.1%; then re-run the power generation power simulation module to generate the updated hourly power generation power curve of the east-west photovoltaic array in combination with the historical irradiance data. The model uses the life cycle cost-benefit algorithm to re-calculate the optimal solution, generating the baseline power distribution strategy and the baseline inverter operating parameters, wherein the baseline power distribution strategy includes adjusting the output proportion of the east-west photovoltaic array in the peak period to 85% for the east-side photovoltaic array and 75% for the west-side photovoltaic array, adjusting the output proportion of the east-west photovoltaic array in the flat period to 70% for the east-side photovoltaic array and 65% for the west-side photovoltaic array, and adjusting the output proportion of the east-west photovoltaic array in the valley period to 30% for the east-side photovoltaic array and 25% for the west-side photovoltaic array; the baseline inverter operating parameters include updating the maximum power point tracking voltage range of the east-side inverter to 440-810V, setting the output power limit to 88% of the rated capacity, adjusting the voltage range of the west-side inverter to 430-790V, and setting the output power limit to 82% of the rated capacity.

[0048] Then the system performs a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the impact of the narrowing of the peak-valley price difference on the power generation income: by simulating different price difference narrowing scenarios (such as a 10%-30% drop in peak electricity price and a 5%-15% increase in valley electricity price), the system calculates the change in power generation income in each scenario, and uses the elasticity coefficient algorithm to calculate the income sensitivity index, which is defined as the ratio of the change in power generation income to the change in the peak-valley price difference. In the specific calculation, the system constructs a multi-dimensional sensitivity analysis matrix, the matrix input includes the price difference narrowing interval, the irradiance condition type and the load characteristics, and the output is the income sensitivity curve and the critical price difference threshold (such as when the price difference is narrowed to 0.35 yuan / kWh, the income decreases significantly). Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, the system implements defensive optimization on the baseline power distribution strategy and the baseline inverter operating parameters: for the price difference narrowing scenario, increase the power output target value in the peak period (such as increasing the output of the east-side photovoltaic array to 90% and the output of the west-side photovoltaic array to 80%), and adjust the output power limit in the inverter operating parameters (increase the limit of the east-side inverter to 90% and the limit of the west-side inverter to 85%) to maximize the peak period income; at the same time, optimize the power distribution proportion in the flat period and increase the output weight of the east-side array to take advantage of its morning power generation advantage. The final power distribution strategy and inverter operating parameters are deployed to the on-site controller through the strategy deployment module, and the optimization log is recorded for subsequent iterative optimization.
