[0042] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the concept of the present application, therefore the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0043] Embodiment 1, referring to Fig. 1, is the first embodiment of the present application, which provides a photovoltaic cogeneration method based on data center improvement, including, as shown in Fig. 1:

[0044] Step 1: Based on the data center, the total light energy received by the photovoltaic power station in the past years is obtained, and the average total light energy received per year is calculated.

[0045] According to the historical data collected by the data center, the light energy E sun (t) is determined at any time t.

[0046] E sun (t) = I local (t) × A PV

[0047] Wherein, I local (t) represents the solar radiation intensity of the corresponding area of the photovoltaic power station at time t, and A PV represents the total receiving solar energy surface area of the photovoltaic power station.

[0048] The total light energy accumulated in one year is represented as,

[0049] Wherein, T represents the total number of hours in a year.

[0050] E (y) represents the total light energy of each year y year (y) represents the total light energy of each year y

[0051] The total light energy from year y start to y end is calculated, and E year (y) of each year is summed up, represented as

[0052] The total light energy of each year is finally obtained, represented as avg_year

[0053] Step 2: Based on the total light energy of each year and the parameters of the photovoltaic panel, the electric energy that should be produced each year is obtained, and based on the data center, the electric energy of the photovoltaic power station integrated into the power grid is obtained, and the waste heat energy and the waste electric energy are calculated.

[0054] Based on the total light energy of each year E avg_year and the parameters of the photovoltaic panel, the expected output electric energy E prod is calculated, represented as

[0055] E prod = E avg_year × η × A × F eff (θ, β, T avg )

[0056] Wherein, η represents the average energy conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, A represents the total receiving area of the photovoltaic panel, F eff (θ, β, T avg ) represents the adjustment factor function, θ represents the average incident angle of sunlight, β represents the installation inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel, T avg represents the average working temperature of the photovoltaic panel, T opt represents the optimal working temperature, and ΔT represents the rate constant of temperature deviation efficiency reduction.

[0057] The calculation method of the waste heat energy includes subtracting the expected output electric energy from the total light energy of each year to obtain the waste heat energy Q waste , represented as

[0058] Q waste = E avg_year -E prod

[0059] The calculation method of the waste electric energy includes subtracting the electric energy integrated into the power grid from the expected output electric energy to obtain the waste electric energy, represented as

[0060] E waste ​= E prod - E grid

[0061] where E grid represents the average annual electrical energy that is incorporated into the grid by the photovoltaic power station.

[0062] The proportion R of the total area of the photovoltaic power station occupied by the photovoltaic panel is defined as,

[0063] Based on the proportion R, the waste heat energy is divided into two parts, including the waste heat energy Q waste_panel that is irradiated on the photovoltaic panel and the waste heat energy Q waste_ground that is irradiated on the ground, which is expressed by the formula,

[0064] Q waste_panel = (E avg_year -E prod ) × R

[0065] Q waste_ground = (E avg_year -E prod ) × (1-R).

[0066] Step 3: Based on the waste heat energy, the waste heat energy generated on the photovoltaic panel is classified, and a multi-layer heat conduction structure is designed for each classification.

[0067] The waste heat energy Q waste_panel irradiated on the photovoltaic panel is compared with the threshold value to determine the heat dissipation classification;

[0068] When Q waste_panel ≤ 500 kWh / m 2 , it is determined to be low-grade heat dissipation; when 500 kWh / m 2 < Q waste_panel ≤ 1000 kWh / m 2 , it is determined to be medium-grade heat dissipation; and when Q waste_panel > 1000 kWh / m 2 , it is determined to be high-grade heat dissipation.

[0069] The conversion efficiency of photovoltaic panels is usually between 15% and 20%, which means that about 80% to 85% of the received solar energy is converted into heat energy and not utilized for electricity.

[0070] According to this efficiency, it can be estimated that under typical sunlight conditions, a photovoltaic panel will receive about 1000 to 1500 kWh of solar energy per square meter per year. Therefore, the waste heat energy (the part that is not converted into electrical energy) will account for a large part of this total energy.

[0071] These threshold values for determining the gear are based on general experience and typical data settings, but also need to be adapted to different geographical and climatic conditions. For example, in areas with stronger sunlight, a high heat energy threshold may be more common, while in areas with weaker sunlight, a low heat energy threshold may be more suitable. The thresholds of the present invention are based on an average value of existing approximate solar energy data, and the specific environment can set the threshold value according to the data collected by the actual photovoltaic power plant.

[0072] By setting the thresholds in this way, it can help system designers and operators to choose appropriate thermal management strategies according to different heat energy levels, taking into account both the system's operating efficiency and optimizing cost and implementation complexity. The setting of these thresholds provides a standardized reference for the thermal energy management of photovoltaic systems, which helps to make more informed decisions in the design and evaluation process.

[0073] When it is determined to be low-grade heat dissipation or medium-grade heat dissipation, the multi-layer heat conduction structure is a two-layer structure; when it is determined to be high-grade heat dissipation, the multi-layer heat conduction structure is a three-layer structure.

[0074] When it is a two-layer structure, the first layer is a contact layer, and the second layer is an environmental interface layer.

[0075] When it is a three-layer structure, the first layer is a contact layer, the second layer is a thermal isolation layer, and the third layer is an environmental interface layer.

[0076] The contact layer uses a material with high thermal conductivity; the thermal isolation layer uses a material with high thermal insulation performance and structural stability; the environmental interface layer uses a material with high heat dissipation efficiency performance.

[0077] For example, low heat energy level - two-layer structure:

[0078] First layer (contacting photovoltaic panel): aluminum-based alloy, preferably with high thermal conductivity to quickly conduct heat.

[0079] Second layer (environmental interface): graphene coating, used to improve heat dissipation efficiency while providing lighter weight and higher environmental stability.

[0080] Medium heat energy level - two-layer structure:

[0081] First layer (contacting photovoltaic panel): copper, due to its excellent heat conduction performance, suitable for medium heat load.

[0082] Second layer (environmental interface): phase change material (PCM) layer, used to absorb and store excess heat, and release heat energy when the temperature decreases.

[0083] High heat energy level - three-layer structure, for high heat energy, a three-layer structure is used to maximize the management and utilization of heat energy:

[0084] First layer (contact photovoltaic panel): silver-based alloy, providing the highest level of thermal conductivity performance.

[0085] Second layer: aluminum oxide (Al203) ceramic, as a thermal isolation layer, reducing heat loss to the external environment while maintaining the mechanical strength of the structure.

[0086] Third layer (environmental interface): high thermal conductivity graphene composite material, for effective heat dissipation while taking advantage of the high thermal conductivity and mechanical stability of graphene.

[0087] The material design of each layer can be designed according to specific environmental factors and economic considerations.

[0088] Step 4: The multi-layer thermal conduction structure is connected to a circulation system, and the circulation flow rate is controlled by the data center.

[0089] The circulation system is provided with a thermal sensor at each connection with the photovoltaic panel thermal conduction structure, which collects the photovoltaic panel temperature and sends it to the data center, which controls the power of the fluid pump and thus controls the circulation flow rate.

[0090] Step 5: Based on the waste electrical energy, a fan is set up in the photovoltaic panel that adapts to the power, and the fan is controlled by the data center.

[0091] Based on the waste electrical energy, a fan is set up in the photovoltaic panel that adapts to the power of the waste electrical energy (selecting a fan that can drive the corresponding power according to the waste electrical energy), when the temperature data collected by the data center is greater than the optimal working temperature threshold, the data center controls the fan to open, and the fan is powered by the electrical energy converted by the photovoltaic panel (generally, when the temperature is high, it is the moment when the light intensity is sufficient, and the amount of electrical energy conversion is large, so there will be no power supply shortage).

[0092] Example 2, the second embodiment of the invention, which is different from the first embodiment: a photovoltaic cogeneration method and system based on data center improvement, further comprising, in order to verify the technical effects used in this method, this embodiment compares the test results of the traditional technical solution and the method of the invention by scientific demonstration means, in order to verify the real effect of the method.

[0093] The method of the invention and the traditional method are loaded into a simulation model for testing. (The simulation model simulates the working condition of a photovoltaic power station for one year)

[0094] The obtained data is summarized and a test comparison table is drawn, as shown in Table 1:

[0095] Table 1: Test data comparison table

[0096] Energy utilization efficiency: The present application effectively improves the transfer efficiency of thermal energy from photovoltaic panels to heat exchangers through the integration of advanced multi-layer heat conduction structures according to different gears. The use of advanced intelligent control systems and data analysis techniques, through real-time monitoring of environmental and system parameters, automatically adjusts cooling and thermal management strategies, significantly improving the overall utilization efficiency of energy. As can be seen from the table, the efficiency has increased from 15% to 25%, which is achieved through more efficient energy capture and conversion mechanisms.

[0097] Electricity and heat production: Compared with traditional photovoltaic systems, the system based on data centers not only improves electricity production, but also realizes effective recovery of heat energy. This proves that in the data center environment, solar energy can be more fully utilized.

[0098] Environmental impact (CO2 emission reduction): Due to the improvement of energy utilization efficiency and the reduction of dependence on fossil energy, CO2 emissions are significantly reduced, and the environmental impact is reduced.

[0099] Example 3, referring to Figure 2, is the third embodiment of the present application, which is different from the first two embodiments: a system for improved photovoltaic cogeneration based on data centers, including a data acquisition module, a waste energy calculation module, a structural design module and a control module; The data acquisition module obtains the total energy received by the photovoltaic power station from the data center over the years, and the average annual electricity energy incorporated into the grid by the photovoltaic power station; The waste energy calculation module calculates the total energy received by the photovoltaic power station over the years, and calculates the total energy received by the photovoltaic power station over the years. According to the average annual total energy received by the photovoltaic power station and the parameters of the photovoltaic panel, the annual electricity energy should be produced, and based on the average annual electricity energy incorporated into the grid by the photovoltaic power station, the waste heat energy and the waste electricity energy are calculated; The structural design module obtains the waste heat energy generated by the photovoltaic panel based on the waste heat energy, and divides the waste heat energy generated by the photovoltaic panel into several grades, and designs a multi-layer heat conduction structure for each grade; The control module controls the circulation flow rate of the circulation system and the opening and closing of the fan in the photovoltaic panel through the data center.
