[0047] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0048] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a monitoring method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for a photovoltaic power generation system according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0049] Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating a monitoring method for a photovoltaic power generation system provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1, the method includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 101: Collect the data to be monitored based on the preset device; wherein the data to be monitored contains data information of at least two monitoring data items.

[0052] In photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, various sensors and monitoring devices are required to collect key performance parameters in real time. These parameters include, but are not limited to, the temperature of the PV panels, light intensity, output voltage, and current. These data can be automatically collected using pre-installed devices within the system, such as temperature sensors, light meters, and voltage and current transformers. These data acquisition devices are typically connected to a central monitoring system, which is responsible for aggregating and recording all monitored data.

[0053] To ensure data integrity and accuracy, the preset device should possess high reliability and precision. Furthermore, the data acquisition frequency needs to be adjusted according to actual needs to promptly identify potential problems and take corresponding measures. For example, under extreme weather conditions, it may be necessary to increase the data acquisition frequency to more closely monitor the status of the photovoltaic system. Specifically, the acquisition frequency and accuracy can be set according to actual needs; this application does not limit this aspect.

[0054] Step 102: Retrieve the monitoring threshold corresponding to the data item to be monitored from the preset database, and verify the data information of the data item to be monitored.

[0055] After the monitoring data is collected, it is compared with preset monitoring thresholds. These thresholds are set during the system design phase based on historical data, manufacturer specifications, and industry standards. They represent the normal range for each monitoring indicator.

[0056] In the pre-set database, a corresponding threshold is stored for each monitored data item. When new monitoring data is collected and entered into the system, a verification process is automatically triggered. This process involves comparing and analyzing the real-time data with the thresholds in the database to determine if any indicators exceed the normal range. If the monitored data exceeds the pre-set threshold range, it is considered a potential problem requiring further inspection and processing.

[0057] Step 103: When the verification result is that the data to be monitored is greater than or equal to the monitoring threshold, a fault alarm signal is generated and broadcast based on a preset broadcast method.

[0058] When the monitored data exceeds or equals a preset threshold, the system will automatically trigger a fault alarm process. This process first involves generating a clear fault alarm signal, which is usually sent to the monitoring system's operating interface to alert the operator visually or audibly.

[0059] In addition to being displayed on the local monitoring system, fault alarm signals can also be disseminated through various preset broadcast methods. For example, alarm information can be sent to the maintenance team or individuals via SMS, email, or mobile application push notifications to ensure timely notification even when no one is on duty.

[0060] In addition, to improve response speed and efficiency, remote diagnostic capabilities can be added. This means that technicians can remotely access the system via the network to view real-time data and alarm information, and even perform remote troubleshooting in some cases.

[0061] The monitoring method for photovoltaic power generation systems disclosed herein mainly includes the following technical solutions: collecting data to be monitored based on a preset device; wherein the data to be monitored contains at least two monitoring data items; calling a monitoring threshold corresponding to the monitoring data item in a preset database to verify the data information of the monitoring data item; and generating a fault alarm signal and broadcasting it according to a preset broadcasting method when the verification result is that the monitoring data is greater than or equal to the monitoring threshold. Compared with related technologies, the embodiments of this application automatically collect the data to be monitored through a preset device and call the threshold corresponding to the monitoring data item in the database for verification. When the monitoring data exceeds or equals the threshold, the system immediately generates a fault alarm signal and broadcasts it according to a preset method, thereby achieving real-time and accurate fault early warning. This automated monitoring and alarm mechanism greatly improves the efficiency of fault detection, reduces the need for manual intervention, and ensures the stable operation and safety of the system.

[0062] In some embodiments, the monitoring threshold includes a first monitoring threshold and a second monitoring threshold; the first monitoring threshold is less than the second monitoring threshold; the processing methods should also differ when the monitored data exceeds different ranges. Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating a monitoring method for a photovoltaic power generation system provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, including:

[0063] Step 201: When the data to be monitored is greater than or equal to the first monitoring threshold and less than the second monitoring threshold, generate the fault alarm signal and broadcast it based on a preset broadcasting method.

[0064] When the monitored data exceeds the first monitoring threshold but has not yet reached the second monitoring threshold, it indicates that there may be a potential problem with the system, but it has not yet reached an emergency state. In this case, the system will generate a fault alarm signal and convey this information to maintenance personnel or operators through a preset broadcast method (such as SMS, email, or mobile application notification).

[0065] Alarms at this level typically indicate the need for further system inspection and evaluation to determine if maintenance is required. The maintenance team can assess the severity of the problem based on the alarm information and decide whether to address it immediately or later.

[0066] Step 202: When the data to be monitored is greater than or equal to the second monitoring threshold, control the circuit breaker corresponding to the monitoring data to disconnect and generate the fault alarm signal, and broadcast it based on the preset broadcast method.

[0067] When monitoring data reaches or exceeds the second monitoring threshold, it indicates a serious fault or anomaly in the system, which may damage the equipment or affect the safe and stable operation of the entire system. In this situation, in addition to generating a fault alarm signal and notifying relevant personnel through a preset broadcast method, the system will automatically control the corresponding circuit breaker to disconnect to prevent further losses or dangers. This can quickly isolate the faulty part and prevent the fault from spreading to other healthy parts. At the same time, this also provides the maintenance team with time to safely inspect and repair the fault without worrying that the system will continue to operate and may cause more serious problems.

[0068] In some embodiments, when collecting the data to be monitored based on a preset device in step 101, the following is also included:

[0069] Obtain the current of each battery string in the battery pack and the numerical parameters of each inverter; wherein, the numerical parameters include at least one of AC / DC voltage, input current, output current, active power, reactive power, electricity consumption, inverter frequency, and power factor;

[0070] Obtain the operating status of electrical equipment and grid-side data; wherein the grid data includes at least one of grid voltage, grid frequency, and inverter operating conditions.

[0071] In some embodiments, the detection data items may include the following: the current of each battery string; the AC / DC voltage, input and output current, active power, reactive power, and electrical quantity of each inverter; the inverter frequency and power factor; the operating status of electrical equipment such as inverter fuses, AC / DC circuit breakers, low-voltage side circuit breakers of the transformer substation, and high-voltage side switches; and fault alarm signals such as DC voltage overload, inverter overheating, inverter short circuit, radiator overheating, inverter islanding, and communication failure; and smoke detector signals for containerized transformers.

[0072] By monitoring these parameters, we can understand whether electrical equipment is working properly and whether there are any abnormalities on the power grid side, so as to take timely measures to adjust and optimize.

[0073] Optionally, after generating a fault alarm signal and broadcasting it based on a preset broadcasting method when the verification result shows that the data to be monitored is greater than or equal to the monitoring threshold, the method further includes:

[0074] The system acquires control commands input by the user and controls the operation of electrical equipment according to the control commands; wherein the control commands are obtained from remote operation or from local unit operation.

[0075] The control functions are divided into centralized control and distributed control. Centralized control: Operators can remotely operate electrical equipment such as inverters and low-voltage side circuit breakers of the transformer substation via keyboard or mouse. The system will provide necessary operating procedures and sufficient software and hardware verification functions to ensure the legality, safety, correctness, and rationality of the operation. Distributed control: Each circuit breaker can be manually controlled one-to-one in the local unit, and a remote / local selection switch can be set.

[0076] Optionally, after collecting the data to be monitored based on a preset device, the method further includes:

[0077] The monitoring data is sent to a preset database based on a preset fiber optic ring network traffic controller.

[0078] Each photovoltaic array area is equipped with a communication cabinet containing a photovoltaic subarray controller, a data acquisition unit, and a ring network switch. Within each array, the string inverters communicate with the photovoltaic subarray controller via PLC carrier communication and then connect to the data acquisition unit via RS485. The tracking bracket control box and transformer monitoring and control device within the subarray communicate with the data acquisition unit via RS485, and finally connect to a preset database via a fiber optic ring network switch. In some embodiments, the preset database can be the photovoltaic monitoring backend of the booster station or a higher-level control center; however, this application does not limit the specific preset database used in its embodiments.
