Photovoltaic power plant all-sky scanner

1.Product overview of Photovoltaic power plant all-sky scanner

The Photovoltaic power plant all-sky scanner uses a high-precision fisheye lens to automatically record cloud distribution in the entire sky without sun blocking devices and direct sunlight, and saves pictures of cloud distribution in the sky. The protective glass adopts a hard coated dome to protect the lens from the weather and prevent damage to the CCD measuring element due to sunlight.

The installation of the equipment is simple and completely modular. The equipment can adopt ventilation and heating devices, so that the imaging device will not be affected by weather changes. Analyze clear sky, hemispheric cloud cover, thick and thin clouds, cloud cover by the horizon and artificial horizon above the cloud cover.

Cloud base height software offers the possibility to evaluate cloud heights in real-time and on-site and data (latitude, longitude and altitude) is stored with each individual CMS image. This product has dynamic analysis capabilities to clearly record sky clouds in daylight conditions. The shape and cloud cover distribution are automatically saved to the local machine for comparison and analysis, and can also be uploaded to the cloud to identify cloud information through AI algorithms. It can be widely used in meteorology, civil aviation, transportation, ocean research, smart cities and other fields.

The imager has a wide viewing angle of 175° and a high-resolution sensor, which can fully automatically record all-sky cloud condition information and convert it into quantitative cloud information through the advanced cloud detection algorithm in the software. The imager can be connected to the Internet through a standard network card and transmit data to the server or monitoring computer through the network.

The imager control software integrates a horizon determination tool to provide users with flexibility and functional needs. For example, the zenith angle range, ground object shielding area or user's area of ​​interest can be set through the software to avoid the inherent obstruction around the station. impact on the observations. The imager is also well waterproof.
