Communicate and Control System for Planar Single-Axis Photovoltaic Array Clusters in Complex Terrain
In the current discourse on renewable energy, photovoltaic (PV) technology surfaces as a keystone in the sustainable energy portfolio. However, the efficiency of PV systems is often compromised by geographical and temporal challenges, specifically in undulating terrains where shadowing can markedly degrade output. Addressing this, we introduce the Dynamic Adaptive Posture Adjustment Control for Photovoltaic Cluster Systems (DAPAC-PVCS), a novel system engineered to dynamically modulate the orientation of PV panels in real-time. Through an adept fusion of hardware innovation and evolutionary computation algorithms, DAPAC-PVCS transcends traditional fixed installations by counteracting shadowing effects and optimizing energy capture. Computational analyses authenticate that this avant-garde control system significantly surmounts the efficiency benchmarks of extant models, heralding a 1.5 % amplification in annual power generation. Our contribution marks a quantum leap in PV technology, poised to enhance the viability of solar farms in topographically complex regions and bolster the shift towards renewable energy paradigms.
