0 Overview

The wholly-owned subsidiary of Hubei Kyushu Fangyuan New Energy Co., Ltd. was established in June 2012 with a registered capital of 169 million yuan. The company specializes in the investment, construction, operation, maintenance and management of grid-connected photovoltaic power plants, photovoltaic building integrated power stations, photovoltaic agricultural integrated power stations; production and research and development of photovoltaic integrated lighting systems such as photovoltaic lighting and photovoltaic charging.

Photovoltaic power plants must be equipped with an automatic, fully functional monitoring system. This kind of monitoring system is different from the traditional power plant monitoring system or the substation integrated automation system. Relatively speaking, the types of equipment in the photovoltaic power station are not as rich as the traditional power plants, and the production control process is not too complicated. However, its typical features are large installed capacity, wide area, and few maintenance personnel. This requires centralized integration of production operations, equipment monitoring, environmental monitoring, security and technical defense, and can be adapted to its location dispersion and flexible configuration. specialty. Large-scale PV plant monitoring systems based on fieldbus design can meet these requirements.

Since the solar panel power generation parameters are unstable and fluctuating and intermittent, the photovoltaic power generation monitoring system can be used for battery arrays, combiners, inverters, AC and DC power distribution cabinets, solar tracking control systems, etc. in solar photovoltaic power plants. The device is monitored and controlled in real time. The PV power plant PV monitoring system quickly grasps the operation of the power station through various styles of charts and data. Its friendly user interface, powerful analysis functions and perfect fault alarm ensure the complete reliability and stable operation of the solar photovoltaic system.

The project is a 3MW factory roof photovoltaic grid-connected power generation. According to customer needs, our company only needs to monitor the inverter and the combiner box. If customers need to achieve temperature, humidity, illuminance, wind direction, wind speed analog acquisition, an environmental monitor can be installed.

The project has 5 inverters and 41 combiner boxes. There are 4 inverters in the factory area, 33 confluence boxes are distributed in the 1# factory house surface, 2# factory house surface, warehouse roof, and the monitoring room is next to the inverter room. The International Trade Building has one inverter, eight confluence boxes are distributed on the roof of the building, and the monitoring room is on the first floor of the building.

Acrel-2000 V8.0 low-voltage intelligent power distribution system makes full use of the latest developments of modern electronic technology, computer technology, network technology and fieldbus technology, and performs distributed data collection and centralized monitoring and management of variable power distribution systems. The secondary equipment of the power distribution system is networked, and the field devices of the distributed power distribution stations are connected as an organic whole through the computer and the communication network to realize remote monitoring and centralized management of the power grid operation.
