A procedure for controlling an active solar tracking solar panel system, as well as a switching arrangement for implementing the procedure

During the control of an active sun tracking solar system i.e. solar power plant ensuring own solar tracking strategy, control signals created in relation to the daily or intraday schedule of the solar power plant by specifying the power of 15-minute resolution, the current power of the solar power plant, the current values and maximum deviations of the azimuth angles and / or inclination angles of the sun tracking systems and the current Sun position data of the local location. If the current output of the solar power plant exceeds the threshold value of 103% of the current value of the schedule, the electricity production of the solar power plant is controlled in accordance with predetermined control parameters by influencing the azimuth angles and / or inclination angles of the sun tracking system of the solar power plant by the obtained control signals and temporarily disabling the solar power plant's own solar tracking strategy, thereby a control strategy ensuring more accurate schedule keeping is implemented.  The subject of the invention is also a switching arrangement implementing the method.

A light splitting photocatalytic nitrate reactor with secondary light condensing structure

This invention discloses a spectrophotocatalytic nitrate reactor with a secondary focusing structure, belonging to the field of solar energy concentration and photocatalysis technology. The device consists of a stainless steel support, left and right parabolic mirrors, a secondary focusing parabolic surface, and four stages of photocatalytic reactors. The left and right parabolic mirrors form a primary focusing unit with a receiving half-angle of up to 30°, enabling stable light concentration without a solar tracking system. The light is further focused and shaped by the secondary focusing parabolic surface to form a vertically downward fixed beam, with a total system concentration ratio of 12-15. The four stages of photocatalytic reactors are arranged sequentially along the light path, with adjacent reactors tilted in opposite directions. The reactor surfaces are coated with a light-transmitting and reflective layer, and different types of photocatalysts are installed inside, enabling segmented utilization of the full spectrum of sunlight. The nitrate solution circulates in a closed loop within the device under the drive of a water pump, completing the photocatalytic reaction. This invention features high focusing efficiency, lossless light path, and high space utilization, effectively solving the problems of insufficient light intensity, low light utilization, and high operating costs of traditional photocatalytic equipment.

A method and system, device, medium for calculating photolysis rate in an indoor reactor by measuring light radiation flux outdoors

This invention relates to the field of environmental simulation technology, specifically to a method, system, equipment, and medium for estimating the photolysis rate in an indoor reactor by measuring outdoor solar radiation flux. The method mainly includes correcting the total solar radiation flux based on direct light correction factors, scattered light correction factors, direct light radiation flux, scattered light radiation flux, and a solar radiation flux correction factor to obtain a corrected total solar radiation flux; establishing a photolysis rate model based on the corrected total solar radiation flux; and calculating the photolysis rate. A solar tracking system is built using a modified photolysis spectrometer to obtain the direct and scattered solar radiation flux. Direct and scattered light correction factors are determined using optical simulation, and the value of the solar radiation flux correction factor is verified using chemiphotometry. A precise quantitative model for the average photolysis rate inside the reaction chamber of a smoke chamber is established, enabling accurate calculation of the average photolysis rate within the smoke chamber through outdoor fixed-point measurement.
