No matter whether PV modules are applied to large-scale above-ground power plants in deserts, or industrial & commercial rooftop distributed PV plants and household rooftop distributed PV plants, they are vulnerable to dust, which not only reduces the solar irradiation modules receive, affects system efficiency and drives down power generation capacity, but also causes local shielding, leading to hot spot effect, further resulting in loss of power output, affecting the service life of the modules and giving rise to potential hazards. Therefore, the cleaning of PV modules becomes important in the operation and maintenance of PV power plants, and the application of intelligent cleaning robots in PV power plants is also imperative. PV cleaning robot is considered the standard of a power plant in many regions of the world.
The intelligent PV cleaning robot "Aijieneng", independently developed by CECEP SOLAR Zhenjiang, has been widely applied to various types of PV power plants, including those in deserts, on water surface, and in mountains, through constant transformation and upgrading as well as performance improvement, conscientiously increasing benefits for customers. Today, we'll take you to learn more about the magic of the intelligent PV cleaning robot "Aijieneng", and how does it make the modules in PV power plants look always new!
"Aijieneng" is equipped with solar PV modules and lithium batteries to power itself, without external power supply. The safety of the battery management system independently developed by CECEP SOLAR Zhenjiang is better.
Integrating 5G internet technology, the intelligent PV cleaning robot "Aijieneng" overcomes the main issues of modules at different height and travel distance, and its six core functions of intelligent obstacle crossing, intelligent six-wheel driving, real-time cleaning, remote control, automatic recharging and intelligent line changing enable convenient and intelligent cleaning so as to keep modules clean.
The robot can be remotely controlled by APP, which allows automatic/manual control and inquiring the status of the equipment. Linking to the intelligent O&M system of the cleaning robot, it allows integrated management and real-time information monitoring including cleaning robot status, module cleaning status, cleaning efficiency parameters, failure rates, robot online rates, power output and other key parameters.
Taking the 20 MW Fishery-Solar Hybrid Power Plant that is entirely installed with cleaning robot "Aijieneng" as an example, its measured cumulative power output is increased by 6%, and the annual power increase is up to 1.32 mn kilowatts. Calculating by RMB 0.97/watt, the investment cost can be recovered in a year. It amounts to reducing about 1.32 mn kg of carbon dioxide emissions and planting about 260,000 trees. With the continuous integration and application of 5G, AI and other intelligent technologies in the photovoltaic field, CECEP SOLAR Zhenjiang will uphold the core value of "customer-centered, value creator-oriented", devote itself to helping customers reduce kwh cost and increase the benefit from power generation, and constantly improve the reliability, economical efficiency and intelligent performance of the cleaning robot "Aijieneng", contributing the central enterprise's practices and experience to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
