MÉTODO DE MEDIDA Y ANÁLISIS DE CAMPO SOLAR FOTOVOLTAICO Y LOS DISPOSITIVOS UTILIZADOSMETHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF THE PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR FIELD AND THE DEVICES USED
CAMPO DE LA INVENCIÓNFIELD OF THE INVENTION
La invención denominada MÉTODO DE MEDIDA Y ANÁLISIS DE CAMPO SOLAR FOTOVOLTAICO Y LOS DISPOSITIVOS UTILIZADOS se encuadra en el campo de la industria de las energías renovables, concretamente la relacionada con la conversión de la energía solar en energía eléctrica mediante el uso de paneles solares fotovoltaicos, que producen energía eléctrica.The invention called PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR FIELD MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS METHOD AND THE DEVICES USED falls within the field of the renewable energy industry, specifically that related to the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy through the use of photovoltaic solar panels, that produce electrical energy.
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA Y PROBLEMAS A SOLUCIONARSTATE OF THE TECHNIQUE AND PROBLEMS TO SOLVE
En la actualidad las plantas solares que se están realizando tienen tamaños comprendidos entre 20 y 500 MW. Los módulos que se emplean para estas instalaciones son de potencias comprendidas entre 330 y 400 W cada uno.Currently the solar plants that are being built have sizes between 20 and 500 MW. The modules used for these installations have powers between 330 and 400 W each.
Todas las instalaciones solares se conectan siguiendo el mismo esquema eléctrico: conexionando los módulos solares en serie y formando lo que en el sector se llama un “STRING”, y que en la actualidad suele ser de 30 módulos solares. Los strings se interconectan entre ellos en paralelo.All solar installations are connected following the same electrical scheme: connecting the solar modules in series and forming what in the sector is called a “STRING”, which currently consists of 30 solar modules. The strings are interconnected with each other in parallel.
Según lo dicho anteriormente, para una planta solar de 100 MWp que empleara módulos de 350W de potencia cada uno; se necesitarían 285.750 módulos que se conectarían en 9525 series o strings de 30 módulos. Considerando que los módulos tienen una superficie de 2 m2 y que se deben dejar espacios entre ellos para que no se den sombra unos a otros, el espacio mínimo recomendado para instalar esta planta será de 2.000.000 m2As previously mentioned, for a 100 MWp solar plant that used modules of 350W of power each; 285,750 modules would be needed that would be connected in 9525 series or strings of 30 modules. Considering that the modules have a surface area of 2 m2 and that spaces must be left between them so that they do not shade each other, the minimum recommended space to install this plant will be 2,000,000 m2
Los módulos se conectan en una serie, positivo con negativo de uno a otro, de forma que por todos los módulos de esa serie pasa la misma corriente (intensidad - Amperios) y la tensión de los extremos de la serie es igual a la suma de las tensiones de todos los módulos. La cantidad máxima de módulos que podemos conectar en serie viene dada por la tensión de trabajo del sistema, que en la actualidad es habitualmente de 1500 Vdc. The modules are connected in a series, positive with negative from one to the other, so that the same current passes through all the modules of that series (intensity - Amps) and the voltage at the ends of the series is equal to the sum of the voltages of all modules. The maximum number of modules that we can connect in series is given by the working voltage of the system, which is currently 1500 Vdc.
La corriente eléctrica generada en cada momento dependerá de las características eléctricas de los módulos solares, de las condiciones ambientales (radiación solar, temperatura, humedad, viento), de la orientación de los módulos y otros factores como sombras y factores de diseño de la instalación. Si por algún motivo un módulo funcionara mal y no dejara pasar la corriente, todos los módulos de la serie se verían afectados por el defecto de uno.The electrical current generated at each moment will depend on the electrical characteristics of the solar modules, the environmental conditions (solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind), the orientation of the modules and other factors such as shadows and design factors of the installation. . If for some reason a module malfunctions and does not allow current to pass, all modules in the series would be affected by the defect of one.
SITUACIÓN ACTUALCURRENT SITUATION
Actualmente no se hace una medida detallada de la producción del campo solar. Desde los inversores solares se hace un control de la corriente de conjuntos de 16, 20 o 24 strings, por lo que si falla algún módulo solar es prácticamente imposible detectarlo, con el consiguiente, riesgo eléctrico para las personas, pérdida de producción eléctrica y dinero.A detailed measurement of solar field production is not currently made. Solar inverters control the current of sets of 16, 20 or 24 strings, so if a solar module fails it is practically impossible to detect it, with the consequent electrical risk for people, loss of electricity production and money. .
Existen en el mercado sistemas de medida de la corriente del campo solar que se instalan en los cuadros de conexionado de strings (llamados string box o cuadro de agrupación de primer nivel), pero la necesidad de suministro eléctrico AC y cable de comunicación, junto con el elevado precio de estos productos hace que estos sistemas no se instalen de manera masiva.There are solar field current measurement systems on the market that are installed in the string connection boxes (called string box or first level grouping box), but the need for AC power supply and communication cable, together with the high price of these products means that these systems are not installed in a massive way.
Algunas empresas, dentro de los trabajos planificados de Operación y Mantenimiento (O&M), miden con pinzas amperimétricas la corriente de los strings uno a uno o realizan vuelos con drones con cámaras termográficas, pero estas actividades no garantizan la detección de algunos problemas eléctricos específicos.Some companies, within the planned Operation and Maintenance (O&M) work, measure the current of the strings one by one with current clamps or carry out flights with drones with thermal imaging cameras, but these activities do not guarantee the detection of some specific electrical problems.
En el ejemplo anterior de la planta solar de 100 MW la cantidad de medidas a tomar permanentemente sería de 9525 medidas de intensidad e inclinación y al menos 10 medidas de radiación e inclinación y temperatura repartidas en 2.000.000 m2In the previous example of the 100 MW solar plant, the number of measurements to be taken permanently would be 9,525 measurements of intensity and inclination and at least 10 measurements of radiation and inclination and temperature spread over 2,000,000 m2.

Cada dispositivo de medida obtiene su energía para funcionar de una instalación solar propia compuesta por una placa solar muy pequeña, una batería y un regulador, que suministran electricidad al equipo de medida y comunicación. Todos los dispositivos poseen comunicación inalámbrica que los comunica entre ellos hasta los dispositivos de comunicación, permitiendo la escalabilidad del conjunto de dispositivos a cualquier tamaño de planta solar. Su gran ventaja es que cada dispositivo de medida es fácil de instalar debido a su pequeño tamaño y el conjunto es adaptable a cualquier instalación.Each measuring device obtains its energy to function from its own solar installation made up of a very small solar panel, a battery and a regulator, which supply electricity to the measuring and communication equipment. All devices have wireless communication that communicates between them up to the communication devices, allowing the scalability of the set of devices to any size of solar plant. Its great advantage is that each measuring device is easy to install due to its small size and the set is adaptable to any installation.
El dispositivo de medida de corriente DC y orientación está compuesto por un cable solar (el tipo de cable que se usa para conectar los módulos solares) con dos conectores MC4 en los extremos (uno macho y el otro hembra), una caja contenedora que se sujeta al marco del módulo solar, o a la estructura soporte, por medio de unas pinzas de montaje rápido, remaches, atornillado o por medio de imanes, un procesador con un sensor de medida de corriente por efecto hall, un giroscopio y una antena para la comunicación inalámbrica y un sistema de alimentación compuesto por un pequeño panel solar, un regulador y una batería que se cargar por medio del panel solar mencionado.The device for measuring DC current and orientation is composed of a solar cable (the type of cable used to connect solar modules) with two MC4 connectors at the ends (one male and the other female), a container box that is attached to the frame of the solar module, or to the support structure, by means of quick mounting clamps, rivets, screwed or by means of magnets, a processor with a hall effect current measurement sensor, a gyroscope and an antenna for the wireless communication and a power system consisting of a small solar panel, a regulator and a battery that is charged by means of the mentioned solar panel.

El dispositivo de medida de corriente DC y orientación se interconecta en serie en cualquier punto de la conexión entre dos módulos solares contiguos de un string, de forma que por el cable del dispositivo de chequeo pasará la corriente del string a medir. El cable atraviesa la caja, donde se instalan los componentes del dispositivo, manteniendo su integridad en toda su longitud y se instala un dispositivo de chequeo en cada string. Como el sistema usa los mismos conectores que usan los módulos solares, a todos los efectos eléctricos, el sistema se comporta como un tramo de cable adicional que no afecta al funcionamiento de la instalación.The device for measuring DC current and orientation is interconnected in series at any point in the connection between two contiguous solar modules of a string, so that the current of the string to be measured will pass through the cable of the checking device. The cable goes through the box, where the components of the device are installed, maintaining its integrity throughout its length and a checking device is installed in each string. As the system uses the same connectors used by solar modules, for all electrical purposes, the system behaves like an additional length of cable that does not affect the operation of the installation.
