Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic power generation technology, specifically relating to a dynamic optimization system and method for photovoltaic module string connection. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of renewable energy technologies, the proportion of photovoltaic power generation in the global energy structure continues to increase. However, traditional photovoltaic power plants face many technical challenges in actual operation, among which the shading problem is particularly prominent. In centralized photovoltaic power plants, factors such as mutual shading between front and rear photovoltaic strings, cloud drift shading, and shading by nearby buildings or vegetation can lead to a serious mismatch in the output characteristics of photovoltaic strings, resulting in a significant decrease in power generation efficiency.
[0003] Currently, the most commonly used photovoltaic string wiring methods in the industry mainly include two basic forms: straight-line wiring and C-shaped detour wiring. Traditional fixed wiring methods have the following technical defects: Fixed wiring lacks adaptability. Straight-line wiring has low line loss under no-shade conditions, but significant power generation loss occurs when shaded. C-shaped wiring can balance the differences between strings under shaded conditions, but line loss is high under uniform lighting. There is a lack of intelligent mechanisms to dynamically adjust the wiring method according to the actual operating environment.
[0004] Shadow recognition accuracy is insufficient. Existing technologies mostly use simple voltage and current thresholds for judgment, which cannot accurately distinguish shadow types, assess the degree of occlusion, or predict the duration and trend of shadow changes.
[0005] Switching decisions lack comprehensiveness. Traditional switching decisions often only consider instantaneous power generation and ignore comprehensive factors such as equipment losses, system stability impact, and long-term operating benefits caused by switching wiring methods. To address this, this invention proposes a dynamic optimization system and method for photovoltaic string wiring methods. Summary of the Invention
