This invention discloses a solar-powered long-distance, low-energy-consumption transportation method for desert sand. The method first uses ArcGIS
software to acquire topographic and
environmental data of the transportation area between the
aeolian sand collection location and the mining area. This data is then further extracted and processed to form path feature parameters, including slope, elevation change, surface undulation,
transportation distance, and unit
energy consumption. Next, a minimum
energy consumption route optimization model is established based on these path feature parameters. Candidate transportation routes are comprehensively evaluated for
energy consumption, and the lowest-energy-consumption transportation
route is selected. Further optimization is performed based on the segmented energy consumption requirements,
path length, and slope change of the lowest-energy-consumption transportation
route. Based on the distribution of nodes, the
layout scheme of the
transmission line and
solar power supply functional units is determined, and the
transmission line and power supply functional units are arranged along the route. The
solar power supply functional units include
solar power generation units,
solar energy storage units, power conversion units, and power supply control units. Simultaneously, based on the high-load sections, slope-changing sections, turning sections, or fault-prone sections of the lowest energy consumption transportation route, a monitoring point
layout scheme is determined, and
monitoring and control terminals and sensors are set up to monitor the operating status of the
transmission equipment in real time, promptly identify wear, deviation, and other fault risks, and provide early warnings and adjustments. This method achieves low-
energy consumption optimization for long-distance desert sand transportation routes, as well as
energy supply configuration, intelligent monitoring, and
feedback control during the transportation process, solving the problems of difficult
energy supply,
high energy consumption, and insufficient equipment reliability in existing desert sand transportation processes.
