Description
Summary:A large amount of distributed grid-connected Photovoltaic systems have brought new challenges to the dispatching of power network. Real-time monitoring the PV system can efficiently help improve the ability of power network to accept and control the distributed PV systems, and thus mitigate the impulse on the power network imposed by the uncertainty of its power output. To study the reliability of distributed PV monitoring network, it is of great significance to look for a method to build a highly reliable monitoring system, analyze the weak links and key nodes of its monitoring performance in improving the performance of the monitoring network. Firstly a reliability model of PV system was constructed based on WSN technology. Then, in view of the dynamic characteristics of the network’s reliability, fault tree analysis was used to judge any possible reasons that cause the failure of the network and logical relationship between them. Finally, the reliability of the monitoring network was analyzed to figure out the weak links and key nodes. This paper provides guidance to build a stable and reliable monitoring network of a distributed PV system.
