Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation technology, and in particular to a method and system for inverting evapotranspiration in a photovoltaic region. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development and large-scale deployment of photovoltaic (PV) power plants globally, people are increasingly concerned about their potential impacts on regional climate, hydrological cycles, and ecosystems. Large-area PV panels alter the underlying surface properties, affecting the energy balance between the surface and atmosphere (such as albedo and heat capacity), water exchange, and wind speed profiles, thus impacting local microclimates and the ecological environment. Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key link and important indicator of the hydrological cycle and surface energy balance; accurate ET inversion can quantify the actual water consumption of a region. By comparing the ET of the PV area with that of the surrounding natural surface (without PV panels), it is possible to scientifically assess whether the establishment of PV power plants exacerbates local drought or conserves soil moisture through the shading effect. Therefore, conducting surface evapotranspiration inversion in PV areas is crucial for evaluating the comprehensive ecological benefits of PV projects.
[0003] Traditional energy exchange (ET) observations rely heavily on ground-based monitoring methods such as eddy covariance and lysimeters. These technologies provide high-precision measured data at the point scale, which is valuable for studies of specific experimental plots or small areas. However, due to their high cost, long observation period, and limited spatial coverage, they are insufficient to meet the large-scale, long-term dynamic monitoring needs in the context of widespread photovoltaic power plants. Compared to traditional methods, remote sensing technology can rapidly and comprehensively acquire surface information, simultaneously capturing the spatiotemporal changes of vegetation, soil, water bodies, and other surface elements, providing crucial support for studying the energy exchange characteristics of the region. For example, based on medium- and high-resolution remote sensing data such as Landsat, MODIS, and Sentinel, key parameters such as surface temperature, albedo, and vegetation indices can be retrieved. Building upon this foundation, remote sensing ET inversion models such as SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land), SEBS (Surface Energy Balance System), METRIC (Mapping Evapotranspiration at High Resolution with Internalized Calibration), and Penman-Monteith are used to estimate ET at regional and even global scales, quantitatively characterizing the spatial pattern and seasonal dynamics of regional ET. However, these inversion models are designed based on uniform and continuous natural surfaces (such as farmland, grassland, and water bodies). Photovoltaic power plants and shading by photovoltaic panels alter the surface characteristics, thereby changing the surface energy distribution and posing a significant challenge to remote sensing ET inversion in photovoltaic areas. Furthermore, in photovoltaic power plant areas, the arrangement of photovoltaic panels generates complex and dynamically moving shadows, leading to uneven solar radiation received by the surface. The shading effect of photovoltaic panels poses a significant challenge to ET inversion.
[0004] In summary, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings in evapotranspiration inversion studies of photovoltaic (PV) areas. First, current research on evapotranspiration (ET) in PV areas largely relies on ground-based observation methods, requiring long-term field experiments and continuous observation to accumulate high-precision data. While this approach offers high accuracy, it is time-consuming, inefficient, and costly, and makes it difficult to systematically assess the environmental effects of large-scale, long-term PV power plants. Second, existing ET-based remote sensing inversion studies are mostly concentrated on bare surfaces or vegetated areas, with relatively few studies on surfaces with complex shading mechanisms (such as large-scale PV power plant areas). The surface energy balance in these areas is significantly affected by the shading effect and energy output of PV panels. Directly applying existing remote sensing ET-based models without considering the changes in surface energy balance caused by PV power generation will inevitably lead to significant systematic errors.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Example 1 This invention proposes a remote sensing inversion method for evapotranspiration in photovoltaic (PV) areas based on a combination of the SEBS model and a PV efficiency model. First, vector data on the distribution of PV power plant construction across the country is acquired, and PV sites within a certain range are merged into PV clusters to avoid insufficient inversion accuracy due to the small size of individual PV areas. Then, diurnal data on meteorological elements, altitude, albedo, and surface temperature provided by the MODIS satellite dataset and the Tibetan Plateau Data Center are used as input parameters for the SEBS model. The area ratio of PV panels within each PV area is calculated using the optimal efficiency modeling method (Equation 3). Combined with the PV power generation efficiency model, the power generation efficiency of the PV power plant is obtained. Based on this, the net radiation term of the SEBS model is reconstructed, and the soil heat flux is corrected, ultimately achieving coupling between the PV power generation efficiency model and the SEBS model, and thus calculating the annual ET results for each PV area nationwide.

This refers to the number of rows of photovoltaic panels.
[0026] Under normal circumstances Larger, and It is not much different from R, therefore The area ratio of non-photovoltaic panel areas within the photovoltaic zone is shown below: (5); Modeling of shading and gap areas in photovoltaic (PV) systems: Utilizing a model based on the optimal efficiency of the PV panel gap spacing, suitable parameters are quickly selected using previously provided empirical parameters. The proportion of non-PV panel area is calculated, assuming a uniform distribution of shading areas within each grid. Based on this proportion, the gap and shading areas are quantified, enabling the modeling of an energy balance model for these areas. Figure 1 As shown.
[0027] S2: Obtain the photovoltaic panel temperature by using the area ratio of non-photovoltaic panel areas and the surface temperature of the target photovoltaic area. Input the photovoltaic panel temperature into the photovoltaic power generation efficiency model (Formula 6) to obtain the photovoltaic power generation efficiency.
[0028] To address the challenge of obtaining photovoltaic (PV) operation data for different regions in large-scale PV regional studies, this invention fully leverages the accessibility and spatial continuity of remote sensing data. The specific approach is as follows: First, the study area is divided into PV panel areas and non-PV panel areas, and the relationship between the two is quantified through area proportions. Then, remote sensing surface temperature data, combined with analysis of the buffer zone (the area surrounding the PV panel area), is used to estimate the actual operating temperature of the PV panels, and subsequently, the PV power generation efficiency is calculated.
[0029] Calculation of photovoltaic power generation efficiency: (6); In the formula, The panel is at the reference temperature Reference efficiency at that time The change in panel efficiency is caused by changes in panel temperature. At that time, it is assumed that the relationship is valid. This refers to the temperature of the photovoltaic panel. However, due to the mixed pixels, it is assumed that the surface temperature data for the photovoltaic area is sufficient. LST equal , This refers to the percentage of non-photovoltaic panel area within the photovoltaic zone; Given the surface temperature in the plate-plate gap region, calculated using the average surface temperature of the buffer zone, we can obtain:
[0030] (7); S3: Download meteorological raster data for the study area, including daily meteorological data, surface temperature data, surface albedo data, and elevation data (DEM).

[0035] S33: Calculation of instantaneous soil heat flux based on instantaneous net radiation in photovoltaic areas: (twenty three); In the formula, The canopy coverage rate is assumed to be equal to the photovoltaic coverage rate because the photovoltaic panels shade the vegetation, making it impossible to directly observe the vegetation under the photovoltaic panels. Furthermore, the original vegetation in photovoltaic areas is usually cleared, so the photovoltaic panels after construction can be treated as a vegetation canopy.
[0036] S34: The final atmospheric sensible heat is obtained by calculating the dry and wet pole conditions in the SEBS model and then correcting them.
[0037] atmospheric thermal This refers to the portion of energy lost into the atmosphere due to conduction and convection. It is a function of atmospheric stability, wind speed, and surface roughness, and its calculation formula is: (twenty four); (25); In the formula: air density, ; For the specific heat of air at constant pressure, take ; The temperature difference between the two altitudes. ; For aerodynamic drag, ; For air temperature, ; For altitude, .
[0038] Calculate aerodynamic drag ,Right now: (26); in, The value is usually slightly higher than the average height of the vegetation canopy. The value is taken slightly lower than the boundary layer height; in practical applications, it is generally taken as... , ; For frictional wind speed, ; This is the Karman constant, with a value of 0.41.
[0039] The spatial distribution of frictional wind speed is calculated based on the wind profile relationship of a stable surface. The wind profile relationship of a stable surface is as follows: (27); in, For height Wind speed at the location, ; For the surface roughness of momentum transport, since the traditional empirical formula for NDVI cannot be used in the photovoltaic coverage area, a medium-roughness artificial ground is adopted, which is 0.15m.
[0040] Because surface heating leads to an unstable near-surface atmosphere, SEBS applies the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory and introduces stability correction factors for atmospheric heat and momentum transport. and And calculate the length of Monin-Obukhov. L Regarding aerodynamic drag After correction, iterative solution. . and The specific calculation method is as follows:

Evaporation ratio calculation: (40); (41); In the formula, The latent heat flux ratio; Latent heat flux; This represents the latent heat flux under wet polar conditions.
[0046] Step 6: Calculate the daily evapotranspiration ET. The soil heat flux is almost zero during the day, so the average daily soil heat flux is 0.
[0047] (42); In the formula, G 24 This represents the soil heat flux over a 24-hour period.
[0048] This model is mainly for calculating evapotranspiration (ET) on a daily scale. For monthly and annual scales, it can be accumulated. In the calculation, the entire photovoltaic area can be considered as a whole and the average value can be taken. Alternatively, individual grid points can be resolved and inverted, and then summed to represent the evapotranspiration of the entire photovoltaic area. This method is a theoretical physical model, and some of the parameters are suggestions for reference. It is designed for inversion based on easily obtainable remote sensing data. If more specific and detailed data is available, its inversion accuracy will be improved.
[0049] Example 2 Based on the same concept, the present invention also provides a photovoltaic area surface evapotranspiration inversion system, including an acquisition module, a first calculation module, a correction module, and a second calculation module.
[0050] The acquisition module is used to acquire the area ratio of non-photovoltaic panel areas, surface temperature, and remote sensing image data of the target photovoltaic area.
[0051] The first calculation module is used to obtain the photovoltaic panel temperature by using the proportion of non-photovoltaic panel area and the surface temperature of the target photovoltaic area, and input the photovoltaic panel temperature into the photovoltaic power generation efficiency model to obtain the photovoltaic power generation efficiency.
[0052] The correction module is used to construct an SEBS model based on remote sensing image data of the target photovoltaic area. It corrects the instantaneous net radiation in the SEBS model by the proportion of non-photovoltaic panel area and photovoltaic power generation efficiency, corrects the instantaneous soil heat flux in the SEBS model by the corrected instantaneous net radiation of the photovoltaic area and canopy coverage, and corrects the atmospheric sensible heat under dry and wet conditions in the SEBS model by the corrected soil heat flux and instantaneous net radiation of the photovoltaic area.
[0053] The second calculation module is used to calculate the evaporation ratio based on the corrected instantaneous net radiation of the photovoltaic area, soil heat flux, and atmospheric sensible heat and instantaneous net radiation of the photovoltaic area under dry and wet conditions, and to calculate the daily evapotranspiration through the evaporation ratio.
[0054] This invention first selects multi-source remote sensing data that meets the spatiotemporal resolution requirements based on research needs and time series characteristics, and acquires daily-scale meteorological observation data and spatial layout information of photovoltaic power plants in the study area. Subsequently, this multi-source data is input into the SEBS model to conduct remote sensing ET inversion, and coupled with an improved photovoltaic power generation efficiency model. During this process, the photovoltaic panel temperature, which needs to be calculated in the model, is corrected using remotely sensed surface temperature data combined with the structural characteristics of the photovoltaic area, thereby more accurately characterizing the thermal properties of the photovoltaic panels. Finally, an energy balance coupling model suitable for the complex underlying surface of the photovoltaic area is constructed, realizing the inversion of daily-scale ET in the photovoltaic power plant area. This method provides a new technical approach for quantitatively assessing the impact of photovoltaic construction on regional energy and water cycles.
[0055] Assuming the evaporation ratio remains constant throughout the day and the daily soil heat flux is 0, the daily net radiation is incorporated to obtain the ET for that day, and finally the annual evapotranspiration of each photovoltaic region across the country is accumulated.
[0056] Compared to the traditional SEBAL model, the SEBS model does not require the selection of wet and dry points. However, in photovoltaic (PV) areas, the selection of wet and dry points is often difficult due to the shading effect of PV panels. Therefore, the SEBS model can effectively overcome this difficulty. Addressing the lack of high-time-series efficiency data in PV areas under normal circumstances, this invention improves some parameters of the SEBS model and introduces a PV efficiency model to correct the net radiation term, making the model more reasonable in its physical process representation, as well as simpler and more efficient. Furthermore, for areas lacking data on the area ratio of PV panels, this invention proposes a compensation method, which, under ideal conditions, introduces the maximum efficiency parameter of the PV panels and a moderate loss coefficient to calculate the PV area ratio.
[0057] In summary, this invention, while retaining the physical foundation of SEBS, combines a photovoltaic efficiency correction mechanism to improve the applicability and physical reliability of the ET inversion model for photovoltaic areas, and provides a feasible method for studying the impact of large-scale, multi-regional photovoltaic area construction.
[0058] This invention constructs a remote sensing ET inversion method for photovoltaic areas that couples remote sensing data with a physical model. First, the required remote sensing data is downloaded through the GEE (Google Earth Engine) platform or the National Tibetan Plateau Scientific Data Center. Leveraging the continuous and rapid spatiotemporal coverage of remote sensing data, key surface parameters of the photovoltaic area are obtained, such as surface temperature (LST), albedo, vegetation index (NDVI), and meteorological data including 2m maximum, minimum, and average temperatures, average wind speed, relative humidity, sunshine duration, and surface pressure. These variables directly reflect the differences in energy exchange and water cycle between the photovoltaic panel-covered area and the surrounding environment. However, relying solely on remote sensing data has limitations, especially in cases of missing surface information due to photovoltaic panel shading and increased heterogeneity of the underlying surface. Simple remote sensing data inversion cannot accurately characterize the actual evapotranspiration process. Therefore, this invention further introduces two physical models: a photovoltaic power generation efficiency model and a SEBS model, to supplement the remote sensing observation data with physical constraints and mechanistic processes. The physical models rationally decompose net radiation, atmospheric sensible heat (sensible heat flux), soil heat flux, and latent heat of evaporation. This approach achieves a physically consistent characterization of evapotranspiration processes under complex underlying surface conditions in photovoltaic (PV) areas. Simultaneously, by coupling the PV power generation efficiency model with the SEBS remote sensing evapotranspiration inversion model, the changes in energy budget caused by PV modules are considered, such as the correction of surface energy balance and evapotranspiration processes by shading effects. This compensates for the shortcomings of using a single remote sensing inversion method in PV areas. This synergistic "remote sensing + model" approach ensures both the broad coverage and high frequency advantages of remote sensing observations at the regional scale, and enhances the mechanistic rationality under complex underlying surface conditions through physical models. It can reveal the long-term impacts of PV power plant construction on local hydrological cycles and ecological processes at the regional scale, providing scientific support for assessing the regional climate and ecological environmental effects of PV development.
[0059] This invention modifies and improves the photovoltaic power generation efficiency model, making it more suitable for multi-regional and multi-scale evapotranspiration inversion and energy balance analysis. During model construction, considering the wide distribution and significant regional differences of photovoltaic power plants, the parameterization method of the original photovoltaic power generation efficiency model was optimized to enhance its applicability and stability in different regions. Furthermore, considering the lack of fine parameters such as the proportion of photovoltaic panel gap area and tilt angle in practical applications, this study introduces empirical formulas as a supplement to improve the model's robustness and operability under conditions of missing or incomplete data. This improvement not only enhances the model's universality under large-scale and multi-regional conditions but also provides more reliable technical support for the refined inversion of evapotranspiration in photovoltaic areas and the study of hydrological processes.
[0060] This invention combines a photovoltaic (PV) power generation efficiency model with the SEBS (Surface Energy Balance System) model to propose an evapotranspiration (ET) inversion method suitable for PV areas. This method fully leverages the advantage of the SEBS model, which eliminates the need to select wet and dry points in energy balance calculations, effectively overcoming the applicability limitations of remote sensing data under PV panel shading conditions. Simultaneously, this study modifies and improves the key parameterization process of the SEBS model, making it more consistent with the underlying surface characteristics and energy exchange mechanisms of PV power plant areas, thereby enhancing the model's applicability and accuracy in PV scenarios. Through this innovative coupling framework, this invention fills the research gap in using remote sensing data for ET inversion of PV areas, providing a new technical approach and scientific support for quantifying the impact of PV power plant construction on local hydrological cycles and the ecological environment.
