Example 1
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an embodiment of a method for controlling a cooling system of a photovoltaic module, where the steps illustrated in the flowchart of the drawings may be executed in a computer system, such as a set of computer executable instructions, and where a logical order is illustrated in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps illustrated or described may be executed in an order different from that described herein.
Fig. 1 is a control method of a photovoltaic module cooling system according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the photovoltaic module cooling system includes: the photovoltaic panel temperature detection device and the spraying device which are arranged on the photovoltaic module are shown in figure 1, and the method comprises the following steps:
step S101, controlling a spraying device to spray to a photovoltaic module under the condition that a temperature detection device detects that the temperature of a photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is higher than a first preset temperature;
step S102, when the spraying time reaches a first preset time, controlling the spraying device to stop;
and S103, after the spraying device stops, controlling the spraying device through a preset control strategy so as to enable the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic assembly to be within a preset temperature range corresponding to the current irradiance.
The temperature detection device can be specifically a temperature sensor, the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is a main part for receiving light irradiation and converting the light irradiation into electricity for the photovoltaic module, and the temperature sensor can be arranged on the front side or the back side of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module. Optionally, the temperature sensor is disposed on the photovoltaic module back plate (i.e., the back surface of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module), specifically, in a region of the photovoltaic module that does not receive light. Optionally, the sensing contacts of the temperature sensor are attached to the upper, middle and lower sections of the photovoltaic module backboard, so that the temperature sensor is prevented from being installed at the upper edge, the lower edge, the left edge, the right edge and the string spacing between the cells, interference of extreme weather conditions is reduced, wiring is facilitated, and the sensing contacts of the temperature sensor can be arranged at other positions of the photovoltaic panel according to the environment of the photovoltaic module.
It should be noted that the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic module is related to the current irradiance and the temperature of the photovoltaic module corresponding to the irradiance. The same photovoltaic module temperature will produce different power generation efficiencies at different irradiance. Therefore, the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is within the preset temperature range corresponding to the current irradiance, the temperature value of the photovoltaic module corresponding to the irradiance is within the preset range under the determined solar irradiance, and when the irradiance changes, the corresponding preset range of the temperature also changes correspondingly.
In addition, the power generation efficiency improved by the same temperature reduction amplitude is relatively determined, and the temperature reduction amplitude can be used as a factor for improving the power generation efficiency, wherein the temperature reduction amplitude refers to the difference between the photovoltaic plate temperature of the photovoltaic assembly subjected to temperature reduction and cooling by the control method and the photovoltaic plate temperature of the photovoltaic assembly not subjected to the control method and used as a reference under the conditions of the same sunlight irradiance and the photovoltaic assembly running time. Therefore, the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is within the preset temperature range corresponding to the current irradiance, and the temperature reduction amplitude of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module can be understood to be within the preset range.
The first preset time is the time for spraying by the spraying device for the first time, and the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is reduced within a preset range after the photovoltaic module is sprayed and cooled for the first preset time.
Above-mentioned first temperature of predetermineeing is the threshold value temperature that the photovoltaic board that is used for judging the photovoltaic module who sprays for the first time corresponds under current irradiance, understands as under current irradiance, when photovoltaic module's photovoltaic board temperature is greater than this threshold value temperature, photovoltaic module has relatively lower generating efficiency, needs to start sprinkler and cools down photovoltaic module. In step S101, the condition that the spraying device is only started to spray for the first time is that the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is higher than the first preset temperature, after spraying is started, the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is no longer independently used as the condition for spraying, and after spraying for the first time is finished, the preset control strategy in step S103 is used as the condition for judging whether spraying is started or not. Therefore, the control method of the invention at least comprises two sets of control strategies as the starting conditions of the spraying device: a temperature detection strategy (namely detecting the temperature of a photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module) is used as a judgment condition for starting spraying for the first time; the preset control strategy is used as a judgment condition for starting spraying in a continuous spraying stage (in the continuous spraying stage, the temperature of a photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is controlled to be within a preset range through spraying). The control strategy preset in step S103 has various ways, and can be used as a supplement to the temperature detection strategy.
Through the steps, the photovoltaic panel temperature of the photovoltaic module is stabilized in the preset range by adopting the temperature detection strategy to start spraying and combining the preset control strategy, the hysteresis of the spraying cooling strategy based on single temperature detection is avoided, the photovoltaic module can be maintained in a low-temperature state all the time, the problem of poor cooling effect of the photovoltaic module in the prior art is solved, and the conversion efficiency and the power generation power of the photovoltaic module are improved. In addition, the rapid temperature rise and rapid temperature drop of the photovoltaic module in a short time are avoided, and the service life of the photovoltaic module is prolonged.
Optionally, the photovoltaic module cooling system includes: set up in the humidity detection device on photovoltaic module surface, control sprinkler through predetermined control strategy to make photovoltaic module's photovoltaic board temperature be in the preset temperature range that current irradiance corresponds, include following step:
step S1031, acquiring the humidity of the surface of the photovoltaic module detected by the humidity detection device;
step S1032, if the detection result shows that the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is smaller than the preset humidity, the spraying device is controlled to spray the photovoltaic module for a second preset time, wherein the second preset time is smaller than the first preset time;
step S1033, if the detection result indicates that the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, detecting the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module again after the preset sampling interval.
The humidity detection device is specifically a humidity sensor, is installed on the surface of the photovoltaic module and is used for detecting the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module. Optionally, the humidity sensor is located on a surface of a photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module, including the front or back surface. Optionally, the sensing contact of the humidity sensor is attached to the lower surface (i.e. the lower part of the surface, at a specified distance from the lower edge) of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module, and its placement position is related to the cooling capacity of the spraying strategy and the environment. Because when the conservative spraying strategy is adopted, the humidity of the lower surface of the photovoltaic module descends slower than that of the upper surface of the photovoltaic module, and when the humidity detected on the lower surface of the photovoltaic module reaches the preset humidity, the whole photovoltaic module also reaches the preset humidity. When an active spraying strategy is required, the position of the sensing contact of the humidity sensor can be moved upwards, and at the moment, when the humidity of the upper surface of the photovoltaic module reaches the preset humidity, the lower surface of the photovoltaic module still possibly does not reach the preset humidity. A conservative spraying strategy may be understood as a cooling control strategy with a lower heat dissipation capacity, and an active spraying strategy as a cooling control strategy with a higher heat dissipation capacity.
The preset control strategy in step S103 may be a humidity detection strategy, i.e., steps S1031-S1032 determine whether to turn on the spraying device according to the detected humidity of the surface of the photovoltaic module.
The preset humidity in the step S1032 is a humidity threshold of the surface of the photovoltaic module, which may be understood that when the humidity of the surface of the photovoltaic module is equal to the preset humidity, the heat of the surface of the photovoltaic module taken away by the evaporation of the water droplets and the water film and the heat generated by the photovoltaic module reach a balance, and if the humidity of the surface of the photovoltaic module is less than the preset humidity, the heat of the surface of the photovoltaic module taken away by the evaporation of the water droplets and the water film may be less than the heat generated by the photovoltaic module, so as to increase the temperature of the photovoltaic module, and therefore, the spraying needs to be started according to the step S1032 to increase the heat dissipation capability, so as to maintain the temperature of the photovoltaic module within a lower temperature range. In step S1033, when the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the heat on the surface of the photovoltaic module taken away by the water drops on the surface of the photovoltaic module and the water film evaporation meets the heat dissipation requirement of the heat generated by the photovoltaic module, and then the spraying heat dissipation is not required to be started, the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is repeatedly detected by taking the preset sampling interval as a period, so as to realize real-time monitoring of the humidity, and ensure that the spraying is started in time once the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is less than the preset humidity, thereby avoiding the temperature rise of the photovoltaic module.
The second preset time is a single spraying time for repeatedly starting spraying according to the surface humidity of the photovoltaic module, and is understood as that the spraying time of the spraying device at this stage is stopped after reaching the second preset time, and the spraying is stopped after reaching the second preset time again under the humidity detection condition meeting the step S1032. In the steps S1031 to S1033, the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is used as the control strategy of the continuous spraying stage, and since the spraying is started for the first time in the steps S101 to S102 to take away most of the heat generated by the photovoltaic module, and the spraying in the step S1032 is only used as the supplement of the continuous spraying stage to the heat dissipation of the photovoltaic module, the required heat dissipation capacity is relatively small, and therefore the second preset time is shorter than the first preset time.
Optionally, after the spraying device is controlled to spray the photovoltaic module for a second preset time, the method further includes: and detecting the humidity of the surface of the photovoltaic module again after a preset sampling interval.
In the humidity detection strategy of steps S1031 to S1033, according to the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module, no matter whether spraying is started or not, the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is repeatedly detected according to a preset sampling interval, so that real-time monitoring of the humidity is realized, and once the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is smaller than the preset humidity, spraying is timely started, thereby avoiding temperature rise of the photovoltaic module.
Through the steps, by the control strategy based on humidity detection and time interval repeated detection, the surface humidity of the photovoltaic module is used as a judgment standard, the rapid temperature rise time after water drops and water films are evaporated on the surface of the photovoltaic module in the detection method based on the surface temperature of the photovoltaic module is reduced, spraying is controlled according to the humidity detection result in the water drops and water films on the surface of the photovoltaic module in the water film evaporation stage (namely, the water drops and the water films still exist on the surface of the photovoltaic module and can passively dissipate heat of the photovoltaic module), the rapid rise of the temperature of the photovoltaic module after the water drops and the water films are completely evaporated is avoided, the influence of rapid cooling and rapid heating of the photovoltaic module on the service life of the photovoltaic module is avoided, the module is maintained in a low-temperature state all the time, and the power generation efficiency is improved.
Optionally, the spraying device is controlled by a preset control strategy, so that the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is within a preset temperature range corresponding to the current irradiance, and the method includes the following steps:
s1034, obtaining the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module detected by the temperature detection device again;
s1035, if the detection result shows that the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is higher than a second preset temperature, controlling the spraying device to spray the photovoltaic module for a third preset time, wherein the second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, and the third preset time is lower than the first preset time;
and S1036, if the detection result shows that the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic assembly is less than or equal to a second preset temperature, detecting the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic assembly again after a preset sampling interval.
Optionally, after the spraying device is controlled to spray the photovoltaic module for a third preset time, the method further includes: and detecting the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module again after a preset sampling interval.
The preset control strategy in step S103 may be a temperature detection and time interval combined strategy, that is, steps S1034 to S1036 determine whether to start the spraying device according to the detected temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module, and set a fixed single spraying time and a fixed sampling time interval. By increasing the single spray time and the fixed sampling time interval, the problem of hysteresis of the temperature reduction strategy with temperature detection only in the prior art is solved.
The temperature detection means of step S1034 may be the same as the temperature sensor used in step S101. The second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, and it is understood that in order to maintain the photovoltaic module to be stably at a lower temperature, the second preset temperature lower than the temperature threshold value of the photovoltaic module is set in the continuous spraying stage, so that in the continuous spraying stage, the temperature of the photovoltaic module is always lower than the second preset temperature, and the influence of rapid cooling and rapid heating of the photovoltaic module on the service life of the photovoltaic module is avoided.
Optionally, the method further includes: acquiring a first preset temperature, wherein the step of acquiring the first preset temperature comprises the following steps: acquiring environmental parameters of the environment where the photovoltaic module is located; and determining a first preset temperature according to the environmental parameter.
The above-mentioned environmental parameters may be local irradiance and environmental temperature, and the first preset temperature may be set with reference to a local irradiance and photovoltaic module temperature calculation formula, where the following is an optional theoretical calculation method of the first preset temperature:
1) through experimental data analysis, the cooling amplitude (namely temperature difference) of the photovoltaic module is related to the temperature of the photovoltaic module, and when the water consumption is the same and the temperature of the photovoltaic module is higher, the photovoltaic module is sprayed with a larger cooling amplitude;
2) when other conditions are unchanged, the temperature with the same amplitude is reduced, the improved power generation capacity is related to the current self power generation capacity, the self power generation capacity is related to the irradiance, the temperature of the photovoltaic module is related to the current environment temperature and the real-time irradiance, and the calculation formula is as follows:
Tcell=Tamb+1/U·(α·Ginc·(1-Effic))
wherein: t iscellThe PN junction temperature of the battery piece; t isambIs ambient temperature; u is a heat dissipation coefficient; α -1-reflectance; the effect is the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module; gincIs the irradiance incident on the photovoltaic component.
The first preset temperature is used as a threshold temperature for judging a photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module sprayed for the first time, and the cooling effect of the photovoltaic module after spraying is considered when the threshold temperature is set. The temperature of photovoltaic module is higher when irradiance is high, and cooling effect and generated energy promotion effect at this moment are more obvious, and according to theoretical calculation and experimental data, first preset temperature can be selected more than 55 ℃, and the cooling amplitude of photovoltaic module is generally more than 10 ℃ at this moment.
Optionally, the method further includes: shutting down the photovoltaic module cooling system under any one or more of the following conditions: the irradiance of the environment where the photovoltaic component is located is lower than the preset irradiance; the current time reaches the preset closing time; the conversion power of the photovoltaic module is larger than the first preset power.
Optionally, the method further includes: starting the photovoltaic module cooling system under any one or more of the following conditions: the temperature of a photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is higher than a third preset temperature, wherein the third preset temperature is higher than or equal to the first preset temperature; the current time reaches the preset starting time; the conversion power of the photovoltaic module is smaller than the second preset power.
In the spraying strategy preset in step S103, the method for turning on and off the spraying device may be determined according to a specific environment scene. The following describes the above several on and off conditions:
1) irradiance is the important factor that influences photovoltaic module generating efficiency, and above-mentioned irradiance of predetermineeing can be understood as lower irradiance, is less than under the condition of predetermineeing irradiance at current irradiance, even reduce the temperature, photovoltaic module's generating efficiency's improvement range is also less, even also open photovoltaic module cooling system, also is difficult to increase substantially photovoltaic module's generating efficiency, consequently need not to open cooling system.
2) And starting the photovoltaic module cooling system when the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module is higher than a third preset temperature, wherein the temperature is a sensitive factor influencing the power generation power of the photovoltaic module, and is a condition for judging whether the photovoltaic module needs to be cooled.
3) And when the current time reaches the preset opening time, the photovoltaic module cooling system is opened, and when the current time reaches the preset closing time, the photovoltaic module cooling system is closed.
4) And when the conversion power of the photovoltaic module is greater than the first preset power, the cooling system is turned off. As an alternative, a corresponding power detection device may be provided for the photovoltaic module, and the conversion power (i.e. the generated power) of the photovoltaic module is influenced by the temperature of the photovoltaic module, and there is a corresponding relationship between the two. Under the condition that the conversion power of the photovoltaic module is smaller than the second preset power, the temperature of the photovoltaic module can be considered to have a certain influence on the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module, so that the generated power is reduced, and therefore, a cooling system needs to be started. The first preset can be power meeting the current requirement, and also can be higher power which can be reached by the photovoltaic module under the current irradiance, so that under the condition that the conversion power of the photovoltaic module is greater than the first preset power, the power of the photovoltaic module can be considered to be not required to be increased by adjusting the temperature, and a cooling system can be closed. It should be noted that, the first preset power and the second preset power may be the same or different, and may also be changed according to actual requirements, and the above scheme does not limit specific values of the first preset power and the second preset power.
It should be noted that the setting of the first preset time, the second preset time, the third preset time, and the preset sampling interval is related to the cooling capability of the spraying strategy, the heat dissipation capability of the photovoltaic module, and the installation inclination angle of the photovoltaic module, and may be adjusted appropriately for different applicable scenarios, which is not limited herein. The installation inclination angle of the photovoltaic module can influence the flowing effect and the conventional residual time of water drops and water films on the surface of the sprayed photovoltaic module, and indirectly influences the cooling amplitude of the photovoltaic module.
The first preset temperature, the second preset temperature and the third preset temperature can be determined according to the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module in a high-temperature environment when no cooling device is added, and can be obtained by analyzing according to the temperature rise coefficient of the photovoltaic module and by combining the specific economic benefit of the cooling of the photovoltaic module.

The control method comprises the following steps:
in the initial stage, a photovoltaic module cooling system is started, namely the system is powered on, and parameters such as a temperature threshold (namely a first preset temperature), a preset sampling interval, first preset time, a humidity threshold of a photovoltaic module table second and the like of a photovoltaic module backboard are preset according to local weather conditions and ambient temperature. Optionally, the first preset time may be set to 5 minutes, the second preset time may be set to 1 minute, and the preset sampling interval may be set to 15 s. The system is powered on and then proceeds to step S501.

Step S502, comparing the real-time temperature of the back plate of the photovoltaic module with a preset threshold temperature (namely a first preset temperature), if the temperature of the back plate of the photovoltaic module is not more than the threshold temperature, entering step S503, waiting according to a sampling interval of 15S (timing can be carried out by a timer of a controller), returning to step S501, detecting the temperature of the back plate of the photovoltaic module again, and repeating the steps; if the temperature of the photovoltaic module back plate is greater than the threshold temperature, the step S504 is entered, the controller sends an instruction to start the spraying device to carry out first spraying and cooling, the first spraying time is 5 minutes, the spraying is stopped when the 5 minutes are over, and the step S505 is entered.
In step S505, the humidity sensor detects a humidity value of the surface of the photovoltaic module, and the process proceeds to step S506.
Step S506, comparing the humidity value of the surface of the photovoltaic module with a preset humidity threshold, if the humidity value of the surface of the photovoltaic module is larger than the preset humidity threshold, entering step S507, waiting according to a sampling interval of 15S (timing can be carried out by a timer of a controller), returning to step S505, detecting the humidity value of the surface of the photovoltaic module again, and repeating the steps; and if the surface humidity value of the photovoltaic module is smaller than the preset humidity threshold value, the step S508 is carried out, the controller sends an instruction to start the spraying device for spraying, the step S507 is stopped after spraying for 1 minute, the step S507 waits for 15S according to the sampling interval, and then the step S505 is returned to detect the surface humidity value of the photovoltaic module again.
And when the ambient temperature is detected to be lower than a third preset temperature, the photovoltaic module cooling system is shut down, and the system is shut down.
Here, steps S505, S506, S507, and S508 form a repeating cycle, and by repeated detection at intervals, effective real-time monitoring of the humidity on the surface of the photovoltaic module is achieved, and a continuous spraying strategy can be executed on the photovoltaic module, so that the temperature of the back plate of the photovoltaic module is maintained at a low temperature state, the conversion efficiency and the power generation power of the photovoltaic module are improved, in addition, rapid temperature rise and rapid temperature drop of the photovoltaic module in a short time are also avoided, and the service life of the photovoltaic module is prolonged.

In fig. 7, the point a indicates that the spraying device is turned on to spray for the first time according to the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module, the spraying device is sprayed for the first time according to the first preset time, the point B reaches the first preset time and turns off the spraying device, the temperature of the photovoltaic module at the point B is greatly reduced compared with the point a, and the temperature of the photovoltaic module starts to rise after the spraying device is turned off at the point B. According to the spraying strategy for detecting the temperature of the photovoltaic module in the prior art, spraying (namely, the temperature same as that of the point a) can be started only when the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module reaches the set temperature threshold value again, that is, secondary spraying cooling is started at the point D of the curve, the temperature of the photovoltaic module decreases again at the point D (namely, the curve of the dotted line in the figure), the change of the temperature curve of the photovoltaic module is close to the curve formed by the point A, B, D, and the temperature of the photovoltaic module oscillates between the temperature threshold value (namely, the temperature of the point D) and the cooled low temperature.
According to the control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the preset control strategy can start secondary spraying at the point C, and the point C can be that the humidity value of the surface of the photovoltaic module reaches the preset humidity or the temperature of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic module reaches the second preset temperature. And starting secondary spraying at the point C, and beginning to decrease the temperature of the photovoltaic module when the temperature of the photovoltaic module does not reach the temperature threshold, wherein the temperature curve after spraying at the point C is a solid curve after the point C. The photovoltaic module temperature profile changes near the solid curve formed by point A, B, C. Compared with the two temperature curves, the temperature curve in the prior art has larger temperature rise and fall amplitude, and the embodiment of the invention starts spraying when the temperature of the photovoltaic module is not raised to a high value, keeps the module always in a low-temperature section lower than the temperature of the point C, and has smaller temperature rise and fall amplitude, so that the photovoltaic module can maintain high-efficiency power generation in a low-temperature section, and in addition, the rapid temperature rise and rapid temperature fall of the photovoltaic module in a short time are avoided, and the service life of the photovoltaic module is prolonged.
