Description
A method for evaluating electrical loss of a photovoltaic array TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure belong to the field of photovoltaic technology, and particularly relate to a method for evaluating electrical loss of a photovoltaic array. BACKGROUND
[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is an important path and industrial support for realizing China's low-carbon and green development strategy. Distributed photovoltaic power generation has become an important part of new photovoltaic power generation. In 2022, the national distributed photovoltaic project added 51.11 GW of installed capacity, an increase of 74.9% year-on-year, accounting for 58.5% of the total new photovoltaic installed capacity in the year. In the first three quarters of 2023, distributed photovoltaic power generation added 67.14 GW, accounting for 52.1% of the total new photovoltaic installed capacity.
[0003] Distributed photovoltaic power stations are located near load centers, with high population density and active economy. Various buildings or trees, towers, etc. with certain heights are densely distributed. Distributed photovoltaic power stations are usually built on building roofs, and staircases, heating and ventilation equipment, exhaust ducts, billboards, etc. on building roofs are also distributed. When the surrounding opaque objects exceed the installation surface of the photovoltaic module, shadows may be generated, which will have a certain impact on the power generation of the photovoltaic power station. In fact, the most important factor for abnormal power generation of distributed photovoltaic power stations is also the serious shadow blocking of the photovoltaic array.
[0004] Current technologies can model the height information and mutual position relationship of various objects in the photovoltaic site area, and simulate the shadow blocking on the surface of the photovoltaic array at any time according to the solar trajectory of the site area. The loss caused by shadow blocking usually includes the loss of reduced radiation in the blocked area, and also includes the additional electrical loss of the unblocked area due to the electrical connection characteristics of the photovoltaic cells and photovoltaic modules.
