Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments.

The words "first", "second" and similar words used in the patent application specification and claims of the utility model do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, words such as "one" or "a" do not indicate a quantity limitation, but indicate the existence of at least one.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a flat single-axis tracking system of the utility model includes a support structure, a rotating mechanism and a current controller 2. The solar photovoltaic panel is installed on the support structure. The rotating mechanism is rotatably connected to the support structure. The current controller 2 controls the rotation of the rotating mechanism, and correspondingly controls the rotation of the solar photovoltaic panel on the support structure, thereby automatically adjusting the angle of the solar photovoltaic panel.

[0024] Wherein, the support structure comprises a support and a column, and the support for installing the solar photovoltaic power generation component panel is pivotally installed on the column through the rotating mechanism.

[0025] It includes a photovoltaic grid-connected distribution box 1, a current transformer 2, a current controller 3, and a single-phase AC contactor 4.

[0026] The photovoltaic grid-connected distribution box 1 is composed of a knife switch and a circuit breaker, and has a photovoltaic side input terminal and a grid side output terminal. The photovoltaic side input terminal is connected to the solar photovoltaic panel.

[0027] The current transformer 2 consists of a middle through-hole inductive input terminal and a secondary wiring terminal output terminal.

[0028] The current controller 3 has one detection S1 / S2 input terminal, one power supply L / N two input terminals and one NO / COM / NC two-link switch contact output terminal. Preferably, the current controller 3 model is F509, and the specific parameters are as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0029] The single-phase AC contactor 4 has a power input terminal, and the single-phase AC contactor 4 is switched on and off to control the start and stop of the device.

[0030] Among them, any phase line of the low-voltage three-phase line of the grid-side output end line of the photovoltaic grid-connected distribution box 1 penetrates into the through-core induction input end of the current transformer 2, and the secondary terminal output end of the current transformer 2 is connected to the detection S1 / S2 input end of the current controller as a current signal input; another L / N input end of the current controller 3 is connected to the grid-side output end line L / N of the photovoltaic grid-connected distribution box 1, and the two lines are respectively connected to an arbitrary phase L phase line and a neutral line N as an AC 220V power input; one NO / COM / NC two-phase switch contact output end of the current controller 3: a COM / NC output line and the neutral line N of the other input end of the current controller 3 are used together as the power input end of the single-phase AC contactor 4 to control the AC 220V power output.

[0031] The flat single-axis tracking system adds a current transformer 2 and a current controller 3 on the low-voltage side of the photovoltaic grid-connected distribution box 1 to realize dual control of current and time. The specific control method is:

[0032] When the current collected by the current transformer 2 is less than the set value, the power supply of the control device is cut off, and the flat single-axis control system stops working to reduce energy consumption;

[0033] When the current collected by the current transformer 2 is greater than the set value, the power supply of the control device is restored and the flat single-axis control system works normally.

[0034] The set value can refer to the current of the control device during normal operation when the solar photovoltaic panel stops generating electricity, thereby distinguishing whether the solar photovoltaic panel is in a working state of stopping generating electricity or generating electricity normally.

[0035] This embodiment can be further expanded, and specifically the current controller 3 can be replaced by a power controller or a multi-function electric meter.

[0036] This embodiment is an improvement on the existing equipment. In particular, after the improvement, the failure rate of the control equipment is reduced from 11 times to 8 times per year, the standby time of the control equipment is reduced by about 13 hours per day, and 0.16 kWh of electricity is saved. According to statistics, due to extreme weather such as rain and snow, the control equipment is not connected to the grid for about 10 days each year and is in standby mode.

[0037] Taking the GCL Power Station in Yu County as an example, after improvement, the 100MW installed capacity can save 360,000 kilowatts of electricity per year, with electricity costs of about 220,000 yuan (the electricity price of GCL in Yu County is 0.61 yuan / Kwh).
