Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the interdisciplinary field of ecological governance and new energy development in coal mining subsidence areas, and in particular relates to a gradient ecological restoration system and monitoring method for coal mining subsidence areas based on photovoltaic arrays. Background Technology

[0002] Large-scale subsidence areas formed after coal mining are a major ecological and environmental problem facing many coal-producing regions in my country. Surface subsidence leads to fragmented terrain, soil erosion, and vegetation degradation, severely disrupting the regional ecological balance. Traditional methods for managing subsidence areas, such as simple backfilling, land leveling, and artificial revegetation, often suffer from drawbacks such as large engineering workloads, high costs, unstable restoration effects, and a lack of sustainable benefits. The restored land, due to its poor soil and water retention capacity, has a low vegetation survival rate and is prone to secondary degradation. Furthermore, these methods fail to fully utilize the vast land resources of subsidence areas to create economic value, often resulting in the inability to sustain remediation projects due to insufficient funding for subsequent maintenance.

[0003] In recent years, the "photovoltaic + ecological restoration" model has provided a new approach to the management of subsidence areas. This model attempts to construct photovoltaic power stations in subsidence areas while utilizing the space beneath the photovoltaic panels for vegetation restoration. However, current practices generally suffer from two major problems: First, the design of photovoltaic power stations is disconnected from the needs of ecological restoration. Most photovoltaic supports using fixed tilt angles cannot adapt to the continuous uneven subsidence and complex slope changes that may exist in subsidence areas, easily leading to support instability or damage. Furthermore, the fixed photovoltaic array layout often creates a uniform shading environment, failing to meet the differentiated light requirements of vegetation in different areas (such as the top, surface, and bottom of the slope). Second, there is a lack of intelligent and integrated monitoring and control methods. Existing systems typically only monitor power generation or simply observe vegetation growth, failing to perform real-time correlation analysis and coordinated control of terrain stability, soil moisture, vegetation physiological status, and photovoltaic operating parameters. This results in the inability to detect and address problems in a timely manner, limiting the stability and overall benefits of system operation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated system that can deeply integrate photovoltaic engineering structures and ecological restoration technologies, and achieve intelligent monitoring and adaptive regulation, in order to solve the problems of insufficient stability, economy and sustainability in the governance of coal mining subsidence areas.
