Description

Photovoltaic panel sun tracking system based on machine vision
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a solar energy power generation field specifically relates to a photovoltaic panel chases after a day system based on machine vision.
Background
As is well known, natural resources that can provide energy to human beings, which is a foundation for the growth and development of human society, are called energy sources. The traditional energy brings convenience and brings serious environmental crisis, such as haze and the like which do not appear in the five fingers when the hands are stretched,
White pollution, energy shortage, natural disasters of force ineffectiveness and the like. In order to enable ecological sustainable development, new energy sources are produced at the same time, solar energy is one of the new energy sources, the solar energy is renewable and pollution-free new energy sources, the solar energy is efficiently utilized, the problem that the traditional energy sources cannot be regenerated can be solved, the environment can be improved, and the homesteads of people living together are more beautiful. Nowadays, people mainly use solar energy in two aspects of heating and power generation.
China has a wide occupied area and superior geographical positions, so the China has rich solar resources, the solar energy received by the land surface every year is about 50 multiplied by 1018KJ, the solar positions of all the places are different, the received solar energy has different differences, the tracking of the strongest illumination point and other problems influence the utilization rate of the solar energy, so how to efficiently utilize the solar energy, namely how to enable the solar energy received at every moment to be strongest, which is a major subject to be solved by people, and people research and use the photovoltaic power generation tracking system from this.
Common tracking devices fall into two broad categories,
first, whether a feedback phenomenon exists in a tracking process of a system is divided into open-loop control, closed-loop control and hybrid control.
Open-loop control, i.e. there is no feedback in a certain system. According to different tracking modes of the system, the method can be divided into clock tracking and view-day trajectory tracking. The clock tracking method is to rotate a shaft to be rotated with the sun at a constant rotation speed by a program-controlled motor, and the rotation speed of the shaft is determined according to the rotation speed of the earth. The simple circuit design is determined by the mode, and the system precision of the simple corresponding device is low, namely the solar energy utilization rate is not high.
The sun-viewing track tracking mode, also called a passive tracking mode, is characterized in that the sun-viewing track tracking mode is calculated according to longitude and latitude of the location of the tracking device and local time and according to information input software, the rotation degree of the sun at the moment is finally determined, and then the motor drives the solar panel to rotate through the existing program, so that the aim that the solar panel is perpendicular to sunlight is fulfilled. The advantage is that the operation can still be carried out as usual under the condition of bad weather; the disadvantage is that the movement track of the sun changes along with the time change, so that the error generated by the tracking device is continuously increased, the accumulated error cannot automatically disappear, the error needs to be corrected artificially, and the precision is not high.
Closed-loop control, i.e. feedback is present in a system. The system can detect whether sunlight irradiates directly on the solar panel according to a photosensitive resistor or a photoelectric sensor such as a photodiode, and the current position is adjusted according to the result. For example: if sunlight is not perpendicular to the solar panel, the corresponding sensor can generate a corresponding signal, then the signal is transmitted to a controller of the device, and finally the solar panel is automatically adjusted to a corresponding position according to a corresponding program. While this mode is said to improve solar energy utilization and improve system accuracy, it works only on fine days.
Mixing control: the hybrid control is to combine open-loop control and closed-loop control together to achieve the control purpose. The open-loop control has the advantage of being less affected by weather and has the disadvantage of low precision, while the closed-loop control has the advantage of being capable of reducing errors through feedback of a system and improving precision and has the disadvantage of being more affected by weather. However, how to combine the two control methods to achieve the purpose of utilizing solar energy with high efficiency still remains to be studied.
Second, the tracking device can be classified into a single axis mode and a dual axis mode according to its difference in tracking dimension.
The single-axis mode is tracking in one dimension, only an azimuth angle is tracked, and the altitude angle of the sun is not tracked or artificial correction is carried out. The rotating shaft can be divided into a north-south axial type, an east-west axial type, a deviation angle axial type and an inclination angle axial type according to different rotating directions of the rotating shaft. The conventional single-axis tracking does not take the change of the altitude angle of the sun into consideration, so that the system progress is low, but the tracking in a single dimension has a simpler mechanical structure and low tracking accuracy.
Biaxial mode: the so-called biaxial mode is that the solar panel can rotate in two dimensions, the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. The altitude angle and the azimuth angle of the sun are tracked, and the altitude angle and the azimuth angle of the sun are obtained through calculation, so that the purpose of tracking the sun is achieved. The system accuracy of this tracking mode is obviously much improved over the accuracy of the single axis tracking mode, but it has the disadvantage of requiring a high mechanical part.
From the above, it can be known that the mechanism precision of the conventional passive sun tracking system is related to the sun tracking precision, so that the cost cannot be controlled, and the climate has a great influence on the sun tracking system.

Fig. 7 shows a control method for a photovoltaic panel sun tracking system based on machine vision, which comprises the following steps:
s1, the system is initialized,
s2, judging whether the day is the night or the day according to the system clock, if the day is the day, operating S3, if the night is the night, resetting the motor, and enabling the system to enter the sleep state;

The so-called sun-tracking mode is also called passive tracking mode, namely, the current change value is obtained by knowing the relative position of the sun and the earth, then the current position change function of the sun is obtained according to a designed calculator, and then the function is sent to a controller, so that the motor works to achieve the required purpose. The utility model discloses an in the system, local time, local longitude and latitude and Beijing time are keyed into in the program sun position calculator of the LabVIEW software establishment of user in upper monitor, and then calculate the current altitude angle of sun, after the azimuth, send lower controller, control transmission operation to through OPC communication cable.
However, the revolution of the earth around the sun and the rotation of the earth make the position of the sun relative to the ground change all the time, and if we want to describe the position of the sun, we can determine the position of the sun by the two parameters, namely the altitude angle α and the azimuth angle γ (as shown in fig. 8).
Calculating the solar altitude angle and the solar azimuth angle:
the first parameters to be known are: the solar direct incidence point, the solar declination, which is the intersection point of the solar ray and the ground plane, and the solar declination, which is the latitude on the earth corresponding to the direct incidence point, can be recorded. The formula is as follows:
=23.45sin [360(284+ n)/365, where n represents the number of days, e.g. 2 months and 15 days, and n is 46.
When calculating the position of the sun, the time generally adopted is the local sun time, i.e. the sun is at the highest position in the day at 12 noon, and then the sun ray just passes through the earth meridian, and this time and beijing time have access, but we need to convert it into beijing time, and the conversion formula is:
hs = Hls + E/60 + - (Lsm-Llso)/15, wherein Hs represents the geographical latitude of the place where the standard time is located, and the geographical latitude of Beijing is referred to here.
In the equation, E represents the time difference, and the calculation formula is as follows, taking minutes as a unit, because the correction value between the revolution of the earth around the day and the standard time is:
e =9.87sin2B-7.53cosB-1.5sinB, where B is calculated according to the following formula: b =360(n-81)/364
The solar hour angle is represented by ω, ω is 0 ° when in the morning, is recorded as a negative value in the morning, and is recorded as a positive value in the afternoon, and ω is calculated by the following formula: ω =15 ° (Hs-12),
in summary, the calculation formula of the altitude angle α and the azimuth angle γ of the sun is:
α=arcsin(sinΦsin+cosΦcoscosω)
γ=arcos[(sinαsinΦ-sin)/coshcosΦ)]
the solar altitude angle alpha and the solar azimuth angle y calculated by the formula are sequentially input into a solar azimuth calculator (shown in figure 8) compiled in LabVIEW software and used for calculating sun track tracking, the position of the sun can be calculated according to parameters such as typing time, longitude and latitude and the like, and the calculated altitude angle and azimuth angle are transmitted to a PLC (programmable logic controller) through an upper monitor in an OPC (optical proximity correction) communication mode, so that a transmission device is driven, a solar panel and a rotary table are controlled to operate to corresponding positions, and solar energy is utilized more efficiently.
The above contents are summarized as follows: the daytime information is judged according to the system clock, and if the daytime information is in the evening, the system is in a dormant state. If the weather is in the daytime, the image acquisition device starts to operate, LabVIEW software processes the acquired image, if no sun information is found, the weather is judged to be in a rainy state, the system tracks according to the sun-viewing track, and if the sun information is found, the system tracks according to a visual mode. The sun tracking mode and the visual mode are combined, solar energy efficiency is utilized to the maximum, and continuity of power generation is guaranteed.
In reality, the situation is various, and corresponding changes can be made according to different actual situations.
The utility model discloses a system and control method are applied to the vision recognition technique in the middle of the system of chasing after a day, it is lower to have solved the tradition system of chasing after a day (adopt photosensitive electron or photodiode detection) precision, the problem that the reliability is not high, adopt the biax mode to be solar cell panel promptly can realize the motion on every single move and the horizontal rotation two dimensions, realize real-time tracking, utilize image compensation technique to revise (angle encoder) the error of the system of chasing after a day, the precision of chasing after a day has not only been increased substantially, and the improvement of precision is irrelevant with the structural accuracy of entire system's mechanical part, so the cost obtains effective control.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way, but also to cover any modifications or equivalent changes made in the technical spirit of the present invention, which fall within the scope of the present invention.
