The solar power tracking type on-water photovoltaic system: detects a change in a current according to the motion of the sun by using at least one photoconductive cell; and controls a solar panel installed in the photovoltaic system to automatically adjust a location and a posture thereof so as to receive the most of the light of the sun, thereby increasing generating efficiency of the photovoltaic system.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a photovoltaic power generation system and a tracking method thereof,

The present invention relates to a photovoltaic solar photovoltaic power generation system and a tracking method thereof, and more particularly, to a solar photovoltaic power generation system and a method of tracking the same using at least one photoconductive cell, The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for improving the power generation efficiency of a solar power generation system by controlling the position and orientation of the solar panel automatically so that the direction of the solar panel installed in the system receives the largest amount of sunlight.

A water PV system is a system that is installed on the water surface of an artificial dam, a reservoir or a freshwater lake, and consists of a float and a mooring system, a solar tracking system, a solar module, and an electric system.

Generally, in the case of solar photovoltaic systems installed on the ground, damage to forests is a serious problem because a large area is required to install a solar power plant. On the other hand, since the water PV system is installed on the water surface such as an artificial dam and a reservoir, forest damage is not caused to secure the ground. In addition, there is an advantage that the power generation efficiency is increased due to the cooling effect that the power generation efficiency is not lowered due to the geothermal heat and the solar module temperature is cooled down even in the summer due to the low temperature of the water surface.

In addition, solar power generation is classified into a fixed type, in which the angle of the solar module is fixed at a certain angle, and a tracking type, in which the sun's direction and altitude are tracked so that the sunlight is received at right angles to the module surface. Tracked solar power generation is a high-efficiency power generation system in which a solar module generates a larger amount of electric power by adding a tracking function to track the sun in real time. Generally, it is known that the power generation of the tracking system is more than 30% higher than that of the stationary system. This improvement in power generation efficiency can be sufficiently predicted even in a water solar power generation system.

The tracking solar PV system can be programmed to track the sun position by determining whether the sun sensor has valid sunlight and to track the sun precisely even in the cloud or rain. However, in order to achieve this, it is necessary to rotate the solar module using a separate mechanical device, and the number of the unit solar modules that can be rotated at one time is limited, and frequent troubles are required for maintenance. These problems cause even more problems on the ground.

On the other hand, since the external force including the self weight of the structure is transferred to the water through the buoyant body in the direction of gravity, the length of the structure that can resist the gravity direction can be determined relatively freely compared to the ground type. In addition, because it floats in the water, it can move and rotate with a small energy even for a relatively large power generation system. Therefore, when the tracking system is applied to the floating floating solar system, The probability of failure is reduced.

In addition, data of solar photovoltaic generation, temperature and humidity, solar radiation, wind velocity, wind direction, solar tracking sensor, etc. of traceable solar photovoltaic are very important factors. Such data is transmitted to a wireless network and monitored. However, there is a disadvantage that the initial investment cost and maintenance are difficult, and the additional monitoring is costly.

Korean Patent No. 1298633 (Apr. 13, 2013) discloses a photovoltaic device capable of floating on the surface of a lake, a river, a swimming pool, a pond, and the like, as an existing prior art document related to this technical content. The present invention provides a water float type photovoltaic power generation apparatus that efficiently utilizes land resources and changes the arrangement of solar cell panels according to a change of sun position to improve efficiency. A position tracking unit for detecting a position of the light from the plurality of solar cell structures, a position tracking unit for transmitting a measurement value tracking the position of the light, A pan tilt driving unit provided between the float table and the driving table for rotating the driving table; And a control unit connected to the enemy detection unit and the pan / tilt drive unit for controlling the operation of the pan / tilt drive unit so that sunlight is simultaneously incident on each solar cell panel of the plurality of solar cell structures at a maximum, The technical features of this prior art include a case member which is located at one side of the solar cell panel to allow sunlight to flow therein, and a solar cell which is positioned inside the case member and is adapted to receive sunlight introduced through the case member And a sensor member disposed on each of the three surfaces of the light receiving member to generate a detection signal while detecting a difference in the amount of sunlight incident on the three surfaces and tracking the position of the sunlight.

Korean Patent No. 1398292 (Apr. 25, 2015) discloses a tracking-type floating-floating photovoltaic power generation apparatus. In order to cope with the change of the azimuth of the sun, A rotating part fluid for rotating the solar cell module is provided inside the fluid to easily track the sun by a small power, and a plurality of rotating parts fluids are rotated together by a single motor to easily manage the solar tracking of the plurality of solar cell modules, The present invention relates to a tracking-type floating-suspended photovoltaic power generation device capable of raising a solar cell.

These prior art documents belong to the technical field similar to the present invention in that they relate to a solar tracking aquarius solar photovoltaic power generation system, but the prior arts have a problem that the resistance changes according to the light incident from the sun, And it does not suggest the technology to track the position of the sun through this. Accordingly, the present invention is to track the position of the sun and to control the solar module or the entire solar power generation system of the solar power generation system to move in the same distance and direction as the sun moves in real time, thereby maximizing the power generation efficiency And the device. In addition, it is difficult for people to approach the PV system for maintenance, so we can remotely monitor and maintain PV system to provide a means to manage power generation system more efficiently .

In the present invention, even if the sun and the solar panel are not perpendicular to each other, the direction and attitude of the power generation system and the panel can be tracked so that the power generation efficiency is the highest.

In addition, in changing the position of the solar power generation system, the present invention drives a winch or a propeller so as to gradually move the hull of a floating material in real time as well as a solar panel, thereby maximizing the power generation efficiency of the solar power generation system. And to provide such a device.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same elements. Furthermore, specific structural and functional descriptions for embodiments of the present invention are presented for the purpose of describing an embodiment of the present invention only, and, unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms Have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries are to be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the contextual meaning of the related art and are to be interpreted as ideal or overly formal in the sense of the art unless explicitly defined herein Do not.

First, the structure of a solar photovoltaic power generation system will be described, and a structure to which the present invention is applied will be described.

The ordinary water power generation facilities are divided into a frame type and a buoyancy type. The frame type is a structure in which an aluminum profile or an FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) H beam is assembled and a buoyant material is connected to the bottom. In addition, the buoyancy integral type is a structure in which a float supporting the buoyancy passage module is integrated with a PE (polyethylene) material which is easy to be formed.

Although the frame type has a high structural stability and can be designed to have a high module inclination angle (for example, 33), it has a high utilization rate of power generation. However, in a region where the construction cost is high and the maximum design external pressure should be considerably large (mainly, , Buoyancy integrated type reduces the module inclination angle (eg 12 ~ 20) and reduces the vertical and vertical wind loads acting as the maximum design external pressure. The power generation utilization rate drops, but the construction cost is less than the frame type.

In contrast to the land-track type solar photovoltaic system, the tracking system has a difficulty in simultaneously considering the upward and downward movements due to the water depth change in addition to the movement due to the movement of the sunlight. Therefore, Is underway.

Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to both a frame type and a buoyancy integrated type, and it is possible to maximize the power generation efficiency by controlling the angle or tilt of the entire floating suspension, as well as the angle of the individual solar panel. It also provides a means to enable monitoring and control of the power generation system so that it can operate remotely in a stable manner to suit the size of a given power generation system. For example, to adjust the angle of a solar panel of a photovoltaic system installed in a floating suspension, it is possible to control the inclination of the entire solar panel to face the sun as much as possible using a winch installed on all sides. That is, even when the inclination angle of the module is low, the power generation efficiency can be further improved by controlling the winch. It provides a web-based monitoring and control interface to monitor, manage and control when such control affects the safety of the entire system.

1 is a conceptual diagram showing the overall structure and operation principle of a photovoltaic solar photovoltaic generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, a photovoltaic solar photovoltaic power generation system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of photovoltaic panels formed in a water suspension (or hull) A plurality of winches or propellers 110 are installed on the upper part of the hull and a plurality of solar panels 120 are installed on the upper part of the hull of the solar power generation system.

Each solar panel 120 is interconnected to produce electrical power and can be supplied to homes through an underground cable (not shown) and ground electrical rooms (not shown) and distribution lines, or sold to utility companies.

The aquarium power generation system 100 is fixed to an anchor 300 or a fixed object on the ground by hanging a wire rope (or mooring line) 200 at each corner or a specific site. Of course, the aquatic power generation system 100 may be fixed at a certain position through an anchor 300, and in the case where it is necessary to move finely, the propeller may be operated and moved to a desired position. Although each winch can control an actuator using hydraulic pressure for fine adjustment, it is more preferable to control the winch using an electric motor. However, the present invention does not limit this control method.

It is also possible to use the winch and the propeller at the same time to quickly move the water power generation system to a desired position.

As a method for moving the hull of the floating suspension, the driving unit may be placed on the anchor 300 or on the winch. However, it would be more effective to place the drive on the winch. When the fixed part of the wire rope such as the anchor is located on the ground, the winch is installed on the ground and it is driven so that the maintenance can be made more convenient. In this case, the hull is provided with only the connection portion of the wire rope. Therefore, in the present invention, the winch and the anchor can be installed at various positions depending on the case, and there is no restriction that they must be installed at any position.

In addition, the aquatic solar power generation system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a solar tracking control device 130 including a photoconductive cell 131 near the center of the hull, To drive the winch or propeller provided in each part of the hull to control the position of the photovoltaic power generation system to match the position of the sun. Performing this control improves the power generation efficiency of the tracked solar PV system.

Of course, the photoconductive cell 131 and the solar tracking control device 130 for improving the power generation efficiency may be integrated into one device, or may be constructed as separate devices and then operated while communicating with each other through wired / wireless communication means . Of course, in the case of short distance, it is possible to connect via simple wiring.

The solar tracking controller 130 for improving the power generation efficiency may control the entire hull of the floating suspended body to move, but at the same time, the tilt or the height of the individual solar panels may be controlled individually or group by group.

The aquarium power generation system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is fixed to an anchor 300 through a mooring line 200 and by loosening or tightening the mooring line 200, The position and direction of the photovoltaic system 100 can be changed.

Hereinafter, the solar tracking controller 130 for improving the power generation efficiency of the solar photovoltaic solar photovoltaic power generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

2 is a block diagram of a solar tracking control apparatus for improving power generation efficiency of a solar photovoltaic solar photovoltaic power generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the solar tracking controller 130 for improving the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic solar photovoltaic power generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a photovoltaic cell 131, A sun position estimating unit 132 for estimating the position of the sun according to the change, a position control unit 133 for controlling the hull to move according to the estimated sun position, and a propeller or winch 110 for controlling the hull, A monitoring control unit 135 for monitoring and controlling the aquamarine power generation system, and a network interface unit 135 for controlling the wired / wireless network for overall maintenance, control, monitoring, and management of the aquamarine power generation system. (136).

The sun position estimating unit 132 measures each current flowing through at least one photoconductive cell and estimates the position of the sun according to the measured current value and the current value.

Hereinafter, a method of estimating the position of the sun using the photoconductive cell will be described. Of course, in the present invention, a photoconductive cell is described as an embodiment. However, any device capable of tracking the position of the sun by sensing a change in current using an optical device is a concept included in the technical idea of the present invention. That is, when the photoelectric effect is used, it corresponds to a device for controlling the flow of current according to the amount of light. Therefore, all devices utilizing such photoelectric effect can be utilized in the present invention, and this is within the technical scope of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for performing the position estimation of the sun using the photoconductive cell array of the photovoltaic solar photovoltaic power generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of photoconductive cells may be configured as an array to sense a change in current according to the movement of the sun. For example, a photoconductive cell is a device that plays a role of a variable resistance according to the amount of sunlight, and corresponds to a kind of illuminance sensor. In other words, the photoconductive cell where the sunlight is detected the most is the lowest resistance. When the same resistance and voltage are applied to a plurality of photoconductive cells, a change in current can be sensed.

That is, since the resistance of the photoconductive cell most exposed to sunlight is lowest, the current flowing through the photoconductive cell will be the largest. In other words, it can be seen that the position of the sun is located on the side where the photoconductive cell with the largest current flows. When the current flowing through the plurality of photoconductive cells is sensed with the same voltage applied to each terminal as shown in FIG. 3, the position of the sun can be tracked.

In FIG. 3, (a) is a photoconductive cell in which a large amount of current flows, and the current gradually decreases toward (b) and (c). Tracking changes in this current flow can track real-time tracking of the sun's motion.

It is possible to precisely track the movement of the sun by constructing an array of such photoconductive cells in three dimensions and sensing the current flowing through each photoconductive cell.

The movement of the sun thus tracked can be calculated directly from the photoconductive cell and remotely transmitted via the communication interface. Otherwise, only the current value may be extracted, and the result may be transmitted remotely. It is possible to apply various changes according to the implementation. Such information can be exchanged with each other using short-range wireless communication (NFC, Zigbee, Bluetooth, IrDa), and it is also possible to transmit and receive information using a beacon signal.

Further, the solar tracking control device 130 that improves the power generation efficiency of the aquamarine solar power generation system is configured so that the solar panel installed in the aquamarine solar power generation system is directed to the sun position estimated by the sun position estimating unit 132 And a position control unit 133 for controlling the position or attitude of the solar power generation system to be changed.

The position control unit 133 controls the aft photovoltaic generation system 100 to move so as to correspond to the position information of the sun at each winch or the driving unit of the propeller 110 or to control the sun tracking control unit 130 ) To determine how much each winch or propeller will operate.

In addition, the solar tracking control device 130 that improves power generation efficiency of the aquatic power generation system 100 further includes at least one drive unit 134 for moving the aquamarine power generation system according to the control, (163) serves to drive an apparatus (110) that includes a winch, a propeller, or a combination thereof.

When the driving unit 134 is driven using the winch 110, at least one anchor 300 connected to each winch by a wire rope (mooring line) is required. The position of the photovoltaic power generation system is moved to a desired position through an operation of winding and loosening the wire rope in the winch under the control of the control unit 133. It is also possible to improve the power generation efficiency of the solar power generation system by adjusting the angle, height, etc. for each solar module in the solar power generation system.

Next, the water photovoltaic power generation system according to the present invention is installed and operated in a water tower, so that maintenance, repair, management, or control is more difficult than a power generation system installed on the ground. The state of the power generation system is monitored using wired / wireless communication means, It is also possible to update various setting information necessary for the operation of the power generation system through the control function, and also to directly move the winch or the propeller to the desired position by the manager. In other words, in the event of a failure of the entire power generation system, the manager may operate the winch or propeller and transfer the power generation system to a shallower area and repair the fault.

In addition, state and history information including various state information, maintenance information, and failure information of the photovoltaic power generation system is transmitted to the solar power generation system management server 400 and is stored in the database 500.

Here, the PV system management server 400 is configured to be web-based, and an administrator or a user can access the management server through the PDS 600 or the user terminal 600 at any time to inquire the status of the PV system , And can also perform control of movement or movement. Here, the user's mobile terminal can download the app from the management server and control and manage it as if the PV system is in his or her hand.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of improving power generation efficiency of a photovoltaic solar photovoltaic generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. A method for improving power generation efficiency of a photovoltaic power generation system is to measure each current flowing through at least one photoconductive cell (S110). Next, the position of the sun is estimated according to the change of the measured current value and the current value (S120).

Through this process, control is performed to change the position of the photovoltaic power generation system so that the photovoltaic panel installed in the photovoltaic power generation system is directed to the estimated position of the sun.

In order to do this, a command is generated to direct the solar panel installed in the aquarius solar power generation system to the estimated sun position (S130). Next, an apparatus including at least one winch, a propeller, or a combination thereof is driven (S140).

As described above, according to the present invention, at least one photoconductive cell is used to detect a change in current due to the movement of the sun and to automatically detect the direction of the solar panel installed in the aquarium power generation system, So that the power generation efficiency of the solar power generation system can be improved.
