Description

Technical Field

[0002] Power regulation in existing photovoltaic power plants primarily relies on automatic generation control or start-stop methods of inverters. Inverters adjust their output power for system matching, but frequent adjustments can cause IGBT modules to overheat, reducing their lifespan. Multiple start-stop cycles also impact the power grid, increasing equipment load. To improve operational safety and system coordination, some solutions introduce electrochromic technology, which changes the light transmittance of the module surface when energized, thus controlling shading or power generation interruption. While structurally simple, this method has a fixed adjustment mechanism, only enabling on / off color changes and not continuous power regulation at the module level.
