[0015] Furthermore, the sensor module includes a DHT22 digital temperature and humidity sensor, a BRW200-1001 anemometer, a HSTL-FX02 wind vane, a STBQSV12OV radiation sensor, a DS18B20 digital temperature sensor and a FR-DCMG-MMPU DC monitor; wherein the DHT22 digital temperature and humidity sensor is used to measure the temperature and humidity of the environment in the photovoltaic power station, and can monitor whether it exceeds the safety range and generate a fault signal; the BRW200-1001 anemometer and the HSTL-FX02 wind vane provide wind speed and wind direction data respectively, and can generate an alarm signal under extreme weather conditions; the STBQSV12OV radiation sensor measures the solar irradiance in the photovoltaic power station; the DS18B20 digital temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of the photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic power station, and generates an alarm signal when the temperature of the photovoltaic modules is too high; the FR-DCMG-MMPU DC monitor is responsible for monitoring the status of the DC system, and generates a fault signal when the system exceeds the threshold voltage and current.
[0016] Furthermore, the second LoRa communication module is composed of two LoRa communication modules of the same model as an expansion gateway channel, and their chip models are both A39-T400A30D1a radio frequency modules.
[0017] Furthermore, the chip model of the level conversion circuit module is SP3485; the main control chip model of the first and second STM32 minimum systems is STM32F103RCT6; the chip model of the power module is LM2596; the chip model of the NB-IoT communication module is M5310-A; the chip model of the drive circuit is SRD-05VDC-SL-C relay. The chip model of the power circuit is AMS1177, and the chip model of the debug interface circuit is SWD&USART.
[0018] Furthermore, the NB-IoT communication module also includes a power supply and a SIM card circuit.
[0019] Furthermore, if Figure 2 The following is the circuit schematic diagram of the minimum STM32 system. The main control chip is STM32F103RCT6, which has an operating voltage of 2.0 to 3.6 V and 51 GPIO ports. It is suitable for a variety of scenarios. Its main features are as follows:
[0020] (1) It has 256KB of flash program and 48KB of storage capacity, with a maximum frequency of 72MHz and a running speed of
[0021] Fast.
[0022] (2) 23-channel 12-bit ADC, lμs transfer time, up to 16 input channels.
[0023] (3) Up to 13 communication interfaces, including 2 I 2 C interface, 5 USART interfaces, 3 SPI interfaces, 1 CAN interface, 1 USB interface, and 1 SDIO interface.
[0024] The power supply circuit, clock circuit, reset circuit, debug interface circuit and startup selection circuit are deployed around the STM32 control chip to form the minimum system. The power conversion circuit adopts the AMS1177 model chip, which reduces the 5V power module voltage to the working voltage of the STM32 and provides a power supply with a suitable voltage for the single-chip microcomputer; the clock circuit is composed of a crystal oscillator and a capacitor to provide the internal clock signal required by the STM32. The STM32 is equipped with two high-speed and low-speed clocks, with frequencies of 8MHz and 32.768kHz respectively; the debug interface circuit uses JTAG and SWD to perform program download debugging; the reset circuit forces the single-chip microcomputer to return to the initial state, the STM32 reset port is valid at a low level, VCC is connected to the single-chip microcomputer REST end via a resistor, and a grounding capacitor connected in series with the reset button is sent down. When the reset button is pressed, the REST end is in a low level state, and the STM32 single-chip microcomputer is reset; the startup selection circuit is used to select the startup mode of the single-chip microcomputer, and the startup mode is switched by configuring the level states of the two pins BOOT0 and BOOT1. Since the first two startup modes are often used, BOOT1 is grounded and the level state of BOOT0 is changed by line cap jumper to select the startup mode.
[0025] By applying the above technical solution, it can be known that the sensor module of the utility model integrates DHT22 digital temperature and humidity sensor, BRW200-1001 anemometer, HSTL-FX02 wind vane, STBQSV12OV radiation sensor, DS18B20 digital temperature sensor and FR-DCMG-MMPU DC monitor to collect key environment and equipment operation data in real time. The data types collected by each sensor at the data acquisition end are mainly divided into telesignal data and telemetry data. The telesignal data are mostly fault and alarm signals. The telesignal data sent by the data acquisition end represent that the sensor has failed; the telemetry data are mostly analog and integral quantities, mainly including temperature and humidity, light intensity and cumulative irradiance data measured by the sensor. First, the data acquisition end is initialized; then, the data acquisition end directly uploads the telesignal data to the gateway through the LoRa communication module, packages the collected telemetry data, and uploads it to the gateway periodically according to a period of time. When uploading data, the data acquisition end scans the gateway channel and selects an idle channel for data upload. The gateway channel is the second LoRa communication module. The gateway has two LoRa communication modules, channel 1 and channel 2. If both channels are in a non-idle state, it will delay 20ms to scan again, and then use the idle channel to upload data. If the upload fails three times, the upload process ends, and the gateway will mark the data acquisition end node as a node that has not uploaded data; finally, after the data upload is completed, it is determined whether the received message contains instructions. If so, the relevant instructions are executed, otherwise the process ends. It should be noted that the above data collection and upload processes all require the STM32 minimum system to summarize, save and upload the data. Among them, the data uploaded from the data acquisition end includes telesignaling data and telemetry data. When the gateway receives the telesignaling data, it must be uploaded immediately, and the received telemetry data is uploaded to the cloud platform periodically. First, the gateway initializes the LoRa module and storage module, and enables the NB-IoT module to access the network; secondly, within a certain period of time, the gateway will continuously receive the telemetry data uploaded by the data acquisition end and save the data to the storage module. When the timing cycle is up, the gateway will package other data together with the address number of the acquisition end that has not uploaded data and upload it to the cloud platform; finally, after the data is successfully uploaded, a confirmation value will be returned, so that the gateway knows that the data upload is complete. The data uploaded by the gateway to the server cloud platform is uploaded to the server through the APT interface after analyzing the output and stored in their respective databases. The server identifies the fault of the uploaded remote signal data, determines the fault type, installs rules for graded alarms, and finally stores the alarm records in the alarm database; and the telemetry data will be stored in the detailed database after calculation and processing. Web users can view the relevant parameters and indicator status by using the curve tool; through the real-time calculation of the photovoltaic output forecast, real-time indicators and historical indicators will be obtained for real-time monitoring by users.

The maximum switching power of its switching circuit is 150W, and the maximum voltage level is 12V. The working voltage of the microcontroller STM32 is 2-3.6V, and the voltage of the sensor and communication module is mostly 5V.
