Description

本発明は、太陽光発電設備の異常検出システムに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an abnormality detection system for photovoltaic power generation equipment.

近年、再生可能エネルギーとして、太陽光発電への期待が高まり、各地で、メガソーラー等の大規模な太陽光発電施設が建設されている。   In recent years, expectations for solar power generation as a renewable energy have increased, and large-scale solar power generation facilities such as mega solar have been constructed in various places.

これらの太陽光発電施設において、太陽電池アレイやストリングあるいはモジュール等(以下、まとめて、「太陽電池ユニット」という)の盗難を検知する技術として、ストリング単位ごとに、上流のパワーコンディショナーとの接続を切り離す開閉手段を備え、順に、この開閉手段を操作して、ストリング単位で、他のシステム全体から電気的に切り離しながら、その切り離されたストリングに対して入力信号を印加して、この入力信号に対するストリングからの応答信号(=出力信号)を引き出し、これらの入出力信号の比較によって、太陽光発電設備の異常を検出する技術が知られている。   In these photovoltaic power generation facilities, as a technology for detecting theft of solar cell arrays, strings or modules (hereinafter collectively referred to as “solar cell units”), connection with upstream power conditioners is performed for each string unit. An opening / closing means for separating is provided, and the opening / closing means is sequentially operated to apply an input signal to the separated string while electrically disconnecting from the entire other system in units of strings. A technique is known in which a response signal (= output signal) is extracted from a string and an abnormality of the photovoltaic power generation facility is detected by comparing these input / output signals.

しかし、一般に、開閉器には、規定に定められた条件下で安全に使用できる開閉回数の限度として「耐久性」の上限が定められているため、異常検出を目的とした、開閉手段の繰り返し操作が必要となる上記の技術では、所定期間ごとに開閉手段を交換する必要があり、コストが嵩み、手間がかかるという問題があった。また、複雑な制御システムを必要とするという問題もあった。   However, in general, since the upper limit of “durability” is set as the limit of the number of switching operations that can be safely used under the conditions stipulated in the regulations, the switching means for the purpose of detecting an abnormality is repeated. In the above-mentioned technique that requires operation, it is necessary to replace the opening / closing means every predetermined period, and there is a problem that the cost is increased and time is required. There is also a problem that a complicated control system is required.

また、太陽電池ユニットの盗難を検出するその他の技術として、盗難監視システムに盗難観測装置本体を備え、この盗難観測装置本体と太陽電池モジュールとを信号線で繋ぎ、この信号線と太陽モジュールとの接続部に応答素子を設けて、盗難観測装置本体から送信された監視信号を受けた応答素子が返送する受信信号の有無に基づいて盗難を検出する技術が開示されている(特許文献1)。   In addition, as another technique for detecting theft of the solar cell unit, the theft monitoring system is provided with a theft observation device main body, and this theft observation device main body and the solar cell module are connected by a signal line, and the signal line and the solar module are connected. A technology is disclosed in which a response element is provided in a connection unit and a theft is detected based on the presence or absence of a reception signal returned by a response element that has received a monitoring signal transmitted from a theft observation apparatus body (Patent Document 1).

しかし、特許文献1の技術も、複数の応答素子の使用を前提とするものであり、コストが嵩むという問題があった。   However, the technique of Patent Document 1 is also premised on the use of a plurality of response elements, and has a problem of increasing costs.

その他、監視カメラを設置する盗難対策も知られているが、盗難は、主に、夜間に、配線ケーブルを狙って行われることが多く、このようなケースでは、監視カメラによる監視は有効とはいえない、という問題があった。   Other anti-theft measures that install surveillance cameras are also known, but in many cases theft is mainly aimed at wiring cables at night. In such cases, surveillance with surveillance cameras is effective. There was a problem that could not be said.

And Tsu door ", is a collector box 8 that a" higher-level unit ". In a small-scale photovoltaic power generation facility, the current collection box 8 may be omitted. In this case, the connection box 4 can be a “lower unit” and the power conditioner 10 can be a “higher unit”. .

また、本実施形態では、太陽電池ストリング2を「太陽電池ユニット」としているが、太陽電池アレイを「太陽電池ユニット」とすることもできる。   In the present embodiment, the solar cell string 2 is a “solar cell unit”, but the solar cell array may be a “solar cell unit”.

接続箱4を「下位ユニット」とし、集電箱8を「上位ユニット」とした本実施形態では、接続箱4に引き込まれた2本の配線ケーブル3を、1本に集約した配線ケーブル7に計測器11(11a、11b、11c)が繋がれている。   In the present embodiment in which the connection box 4 is the “lower unit” and the current collection box 8 is the “upper unit”, the two wiring cables 3 drawn into the connection box 4 are combined into one wiring cable 7. Measuring instrument 11 (11a, 11b, 11c) is connected.

計測器11は、判定部12からの動作命令を受けて、電圧印加を開始し、合成抵抗を計測する。具体的には、11a、11b、11cの何れかの計測器は、一定時間電圧を印加して、電流値を計測することにより、その計測器(例えば、11a)が収容されている接続箱(例えば、4a)に集約される電気回路の抵抗と、並列された他の接続箱(4b、4c)に集約される電気回路(図示を省略)の抵抗からなる合成抵抗を計測する。なお、本実施形態では、計測器11および判定部12の動作電源として、太陽光発電により発電された電力を蓄える蓄電池を利用している。   In response to the operation command from the determination unit 12, the measuring instrument 11 starts voltage application and measures the combined resistance. Specifically, any one of the measuring instruments 11a, 11b, and 11c applies a voltage for a certain period of time and measures a current value, thereby connecting a connection box (for example, 11a) in which the measuring instrument (for example, 11a) is accommodated. For example, the combined resistance composed of the resistance of the electrical circuit aggregated in 4a) and the resistance of the electrical circuit (not shown) aggregated in the other connection boxes (4b, 4c) arranged in parallel is measured. In the present embodiment, a storage battery that stores electric power generated by solar power generation is used as an operating power source for the measuring instrument 11 and the determination unit 12.

計測器11により計測された合成抵抗は、判定部12に向けて出力される。本実施形態では、計測器11と判定部12との通信を、有線で行っているが、無線通信とすることもできる。   The combined resistance measured by the measuring instrument 11 is output toward the determination unit 12. In the present embodiment, communication between the measuring instrument 11 and the determination unit 12 is performed by wire, but wireless communication may be used.

本実施形態では、判定部12を集電箱8内に設置している。   In the present embodiment, the determination unit 12 is installed in the current collection box 8.

判定部12は、全ストリングの出力がゼロとなっていること、および、パワーコンディショナー内部の開閉器が開路状態となって、パワーコンディショナー10が停止したことを確認すると、この太陽光発電設備が「非発電状態」にある、との判定を行う。   The determination unit 12 confirms that the output of all the strings is zero, and that the switch inside the power conditioner is in an open circuit state and the power conditioner 10 is stopped. It is determined that it is in the “non-power generation state”.

判定部12は、前記の判定を受けて、異常検出を開始する。具体的には、まず、各計測器11に向けて、前記の動作命令を発する。このとき、一の計測器が起動時には、他の計測器が起動しないように、前記の動作命令は、所定間隔で、各計測器11に向けて、順に、行われる。   The determination unit 12 starts the abnormality detection in response to the determination. Specifically, first, the operation command is issued to each measuring instrument 11. At this time, when one measuring device is activated, the operation command is sequentially performed toward each measuring device 11 at a predetermined interval so that other measuring devices are not activated.

以下、図2のフローを用いて、判定部12による異常検出の流れを説明する。   Hereinafter, the flow of abnormality detection by the determination unit 12 will be described using the flow of FIG.

(ST1)
前記のように、判定部12は、全ストリングの出力がゼロとなっていること、および、パワーコンディショナー内部の開閉器が開路状態となって、パワーコンディショナー10が停止したことを確認すると、この太陽光発電設備が「非発電状態」にある、との判定を行う。
(ST1)
As described above, when the determination unit 12 confirms that the output of all the strings is zero, and that the switch inside the power conditioner is in an open circuit state, the power conditioner 10 is stopped. It is determined that the photovoltaic power generation facility is in the “non-power generation state”.

(ST2)
判定部12は、前記の判定を受けて、異常検出を開始し、一つの計測器(11a、11b、11cの何れか)に向けて、動作命令1を発する。計測器(本実施形態では、11a)は、この動作命令を受けて電圧印加を開始し、接続箱4a、4b、4cに、各々、集約される電気回路の抵抗からなる合成抵抗(Z1)を計測する。計測器11aにより計測された合成抵抗は、判定部12に向けて出力される。
(ST2)
The determination unit 12 receives the above determination, starts abnormality detection, and issues an operation command 1 toward one measuring instrument (any one of 11a, 11b, and 11c). In response to this operation command, the measuring instrument (11a in the present embodiment) starts voltage application, and each of the junction boxes 4a, 4b, and 4c is provided with a combined resistance (Z1) composed of the resistance of the electric circuit that is aggregated. measure. The combined resistance measured by the measuring instrument 11a is output toward the determination unit 12.

(ST3)
判定部12には、予め、各下位ユニットに集約される電気回路の抵抗値(R1〜R3)が初期設定値として記憶されている。
判定部12は、この初期設定値(R1〜R3)と、前記の合成抵抗に基づいて判定を行う。具体的には、例えば、計測器11aが電圧印加を行った際に計測された合成抵抗が「Z1」の場合、この「Z1」と、前記の初期設定値から求めた理論抵抗値「1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3)」を比較し、Z1=1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3)ならば、正常判定(盗難や故障等がない「正常な状態」であるとの判定)を行い、ここで、異常検出のルーティンを終了する。
(ST3)
The determination unit 12 stores in advance the resistance values (R1 to R3) of the electric circuits that are aggregated in each lower unit as initial setting values.
The determination unit 12 performs determination based on the initial set values (R1 to R3) and the combined resistance. Specifically, for example, when the combined resistance measured when the measuring instrument 11a applies a voltage is “Z1”, the theoretical resistance value “1/1” obtained from this “Z1” and the above-mentioned initial set value is used. (1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3) ”is compared. If Z1 = 1 / (1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3), it is judged as normal (no theft or failure) Determination of “status”), and the routine of abnormality detection is terminated here.

(ST4)
Z1=1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3)以外の場合には、異常判定となり、警告表示を行う。
(ST4)
In cases other than Z1 = 1 / (1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3), an abnormality is determined and a warning is displayed.

(ST5)
異常判定の場合、続いて、判定部12は、他の計測器(本実施形態では、11b、11c)に向けて、動作命令2を発する。
(ST5)
In the case of abnormality determination, subsequently, the determination unit 12 issues an operation command 2 toward other measuring instruments (11b and 11c in the present embodiment).

(ST6)
動作命令を受けた計測器11b、11cは、それぞれ、一定時間電圧を印加して、合成抵抗「Z2(=計測器11bが電圧印加を行った際に計測された合成抵抗)」「Z3(=計測器11cが電圧印加を行った際に計測された合成抵抗)」を計測する。この合成抵抗「Z2」「Z3」は、判定部12に向けて出力される。判定部12は、合成抵抗「Z1」
「Z2」「Z3」と、前記の初期設定値(R1〜R3)に基づいて判定を行う。
(ST6)
The measuring instruments 11b and 11c that have received the operation command respectively apply a voltage for a certain period of time, and combine resistance “Z2 (= the combined resistance measured when the measuring instrument 11b applies the voltage)” “Z3 (= The combined resistance measured when the measuring instrument 11c applied the voltage) is measured. The combined resistances “Z2” and “Z3” are output toward the determination unit 12. The determination unit 12 is the combined resistance “Z1”
The determination is performed based on “Z2” and “Z3” and the initial setting values (R1 to R3).

(ST7)
Z1=R1、かつ、Z2=Z3=1/(1/R2+1/R3)の場合には、接続箱1と集電箱8を繋ぐ配線ケーブルが盗難された、との判定を行う。
Z1=R1、かつ、Z2=R2、かつ、Z3=R3の場合には、接続箱と集電箱を繋ぐ配線ケーブルの全部が盗まれた、との判定を行う。
(ST7)
When Z1 = R1 and Z2 = Z3 = 1 / (1 / R2 + 1 / R3), it is determined that the wiring cable connecting the connection box 1 and the current collection box 8 has been stolen.
When Z1 = R1, Z2 = R2, and Z3 = R3, it is determined that all the wiring cables connecting the connection box and the current collection box have been stolen.

(ST8)
なお、太陽光モジュール自体が盗難された場合にはその接続方式に関わらずインピーダンスは増加または∞となる。このため、Z1≠R1、Z2≠R2、Z3≠R3、かつ、Z1>1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3)の場合には、いずれかの太陽光モジュールが盗難されたと判定、との判定を行う。
(ST8)
When the solar module itself is stolen, the impedance increases or becomes ∞ regardless of the connection method. Therefore, if Z1 ≠ R1, Z2 ≠ R2, Z3 ≠ R3, and Z1> 1 / (1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3), it is determined that one of the solar modules has been stolen. The determination is made.

(実施形態2、3)
