[0002] With the large-scale construction of photovoltaic power stations, higher requirements are put forward for the real-time operation monitoring of photovoltaic power stations. Most distributed photovoltaic power stations are located in remote areas, and traditional wired networking monitoring has problems such as difficult wiring, high costs, and high later maintenance costs. In recent years, with the rapid development of wireless communication technology and information technology, whose technical system is established on the basis of the already mature wired remote data transmission, the photovoltaic power station monitoring system based on wireless communication technology has become a new networking form.

[0003] This system combines 5G and ZigBee wireless network technologies to achieve wireless remote monitoring of the photovoltaic power station. Its significance lies in: 1) The environment where the photovoltaic panels are located is complex and the system is large, and it is easy to have faults in individual power generation components. The monitoring system can display the specific location of the fault; 2) The monitoring system can display various specific parameters during the power generation process, which is convenient for finding the best installation position and angle of the power generation components; 3) The monitoring system can record the historical power generation data for future reference, which is beneficial to the future upgrade of the system. Briefly speaking, the functions of the monitoring system are alarm, observation, recording, prediction and control. The traditional photovoltaic power generation monitoring system is composed of a local area network formed by communication methods such as RS485 or Ethernet.

In order to be able to find problems in the photovoltaic power generation system more conveniently and in a more timely manner, and to enable staff to monitor the system situation even after leaving the monitoring room, this system can achieve wireless remote monitoring. In this system, the acquisition node (2) transmits the acquired data to the coordination node. After the coordination node transmits it to the terminal node, the data is directly uploaded to the Internet server through the 5G module.
