Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is the most effective form of developing and utilizing solar energy resources today, and abundant solar energy resources provide favorable conditions for the development of photovoltaic power generation in China. At present, with the continuous growth of land photovoltaic installed capacity, land resources and related policy restrictions are becoming key factors restricting the large-scale development of photovoltaic power. Therefore, offshore photovoltaic power has begun to develop gradually. Compared with land photovoltaic power, offshore photovoltaic power needs to withstand greater wind load, and also needs to consider additional factors such as wave load, soft soil foundation, and high-salt marine corrosion environment, so the design difficulty is relatively greater. The existing offshore photovoltaic power mainly has two structural types of fixed photovoltaic power and floating photovoltaic power.

[0003] Chinese patent application No. 202321871438.8 discloses a floating box for offshore photovoltaic power, an offshore photovoltaic device, and an offshore photovoltaic system. The floating box for offshore photovoltaic power includes a floating box body, a mounting rack, a support, and a cleaning pipe. The mounting rack is connected to the floating box body and is used to connect the photovoltaic module. The support is connected to the mounting rack, and the cleaning pipe is connected to the support. The cleaning pipe is used to transmit cleaning liquid to clean the photovoltaic module. In this way, by transmitting cleaning liquid into the cleaning pipe, the cleaning liquid can be sprayed on the photovoltaic module to clean it in time, avoid pollutants blocking the photovoltaic module, and make the photovoltaic module better for photoelectric conversion, thereby improving the power generation efficiency. It also avoids the impact of sea waves on the mounting rack and the photovoltaic module, which may leave debris or produce salt crystals on the photovoltaic module, and can also clean the pollutants left by seabirds on the photovoltaic module in time, greatly reducing the dirt on the surface of the photovoltaic module and reducing the impact on the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic module. However, the floating box for offshore photovoltaic power is easily affected by natural factors such as strong winds, water level changes, and icing, which may cause damage to the photovoltaic module or reduce the power generation efficiency.

[0004] Chinese patent application No. 202421222688.3 discloses a support structure of a floating photovoltaic power generation system, comprising a floating assembly, a support assembly and a culture assembly. The floating assembly comprises a floating pipe and a floating box; the support assembly comprises a erecting unit, the erecting unit comprises a first support rod and a connecting cable, the connecting cable is provided with a photovoltaic panel, the first support rod is installed on the floating box, and the first support rod supports the connecting cable, so that the connecting cable can form a pre-tightening force, so that the distance between the bottom surface of the connecting cable and the water surface is d, and the distance satisfies 1.2m≤d≤2.3m; the connecting cable is erected by the first support rod, so that the distance between the connecting cable and the water surface is d, and the distance satisfies 1.2m≤d≤2.3m, which can not only reserve sufficient space between the photovoltaic panel and the floating pipe, but also appropriately reduce the gravity center of the whole support structure, thereby improving the working efficiency and safety. However, the assembly degree of the support structure and the photovoltaic assembly is low when they are connected. Content of the utility model

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the utility model provides a marine power generation photovoltaic assembly, which solves the problems of relatively poor mechanical strength, heat-resistant fireproof performance and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the existing photovoltaic assembly and low assembly degree.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0010] Further, the composite photovoltaic panel comprises a glass cover plate layer, a first EVA layer, a cell piece, a second EVA layer and a TPT back plate layer which are sequentially laminated from top to bottom.

[0011] Further, the photovoltaic module body is suitable for offshore sea area.

[0012] Further, the upper chord adopts a circular steel pipe with a specification of φ610*10.

[0013] The circular steel pipe with the specification of φ610*10 is a circular steel pipe with an outer diameter of 610 mm and a wall thickness of 10 mm.

[0014] Further, the steel strand has a specification of 6φ s 15.2.

[0015] The specification of 6φs15.2 means that the steel strand is twisted by six steel wires and has a diameter of 15.2 mm.

[0016] Further, the strut adopts a circular steel pipe with a specification of φ100*8.

[0017] The circular steel pipe with the specification of φ100*8 is a circular steel pipe with an outer diameter of 100 mm and a wall thickness of 8 mm.

[0018] Further, the pile foundation adopts a PHC800 pipe pile.

[0019] By adopting the foregoing technical solutions, the photovoltaic module has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The uppermost layer of the composite photovoltaic panel is a glass cover plate, which can effectively prevent the influence of external environment such as dust, moisture, oxidation, etc. on the solar cell. At the same time, the glass layer also has good mechanical strength, tensile strength and heat-resistant and fireproof performance, which can support the photovoltaic panel and maintain its overall strength. In addition, the glass layer can also improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency by changing the propagation path of light, etc. The EVA layer (polyethylene-polyvinyl acetate copolymer) has good flexibility and heat sealing property, which can firmly bond each layer together to form a good airtight packaging structure. The cell is the core part of the photovoltaic panel, which can convert solar energy into electrical energy. By optimizing the arrangement and connection mode of the cell, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel can be improved, thereby generating more electrical energy. The TPT backboard layer is a back protection and packaging material of the photovoltaic panel. The TPT back film has the characteristics of aging resistance, corrosion resistance and air tightness. It can effectively prevent water vapor erosion and ultraviolet radiation damage to the cell, further improving the durability and reliability of the photovoltaic panel. The aluminum alloy frame is an important component of the photovoltaic panel, which can encapsulate the cell, glass, backboard and other materials, and enhance the overall strength of the assembly.

[0021] 2. The upper chord is connected with the upper end of the pile foundation by using the double bolt connector, the shearing part of the connector is the non-threaded part of the half tooth short bolt, and the shearing capacity of the bolt can be fully utilized; when the structure reaches the service life or needs to replace parts, the short bolt is screwed out to realize the separation of the upper chord and the first pile foundation, and the disassembly is simple, the assembly construction degree is high, in addition, the existence of the gasket can make the clamping height of the pre-tightening force larger, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of pre-tightening force relaxation, and the stress performance of the upper chord is not greatly affected.

[0022] 3. The fixed support structure of the utility model adopts a beam string type flexible support structure, which can reduce the damage of instantaneous impact force to the structure and prolong the service life; lightweight design reduces transportation and installation costs, and is especially suitable for scenes with limited offshore transportation; standardized components can be quickly assembled, shorten the construction period and improve the construction efficiency.
