Oorhoofse kabel

In netwerk-gekoppelde fotovoltaïese kragopwekkingstelsels, sodra die opgewekte GS-krag deur die omskakelaar na WS-krag omgeskakel word en in die WS-netwerk geïntegreer word, kragoordrag word dikwels via oorhoofse lyne uitgevoer. Tipies, die netwerkverbindingsproses van fotovoltaïese kragopwekkingstelsels kan in die volgende scenario's voorkom:

Direkte verbinding

Vir klein verspreide fotovoltaïese kragopwekkingstelsels, soos residensiële dakfotovoltaïese, die GS-krag kan direk deur die omskakelaar na WS-krag omgeskakel word en dan via verspreidingslyne aan die laespanningsnetwerk gekoppel word. In hierdie geval, underground low-voltage cables and overhead insulated cables like ABC cables can be used.

Verbinding deur Box Transformers of Substasie-integrasie

Medium- of kommersiële-skaal fotovoltaïese kragstasies mag bokstipe substasies gebruik (boks transformators) om die GS-krag wat gegenereer word om te skakel in WS-krag wat geskik is vir roosterintegrasie deur die omskakelaar, en verhoog dan die spanning deur die bokstransformator om by die spanningsvlak van die oorhoofse rooster te pas, voordat dit met oorhoofse lyne verbind word.

Grootskaalse grond-gemonteerde fotovoltaïese kragstasies benodig tipies 'n transformator om die spanning na 'n hoër vlak te verhoog vir doeltreffende transmissie. In hierdie geval, the power is directly connected to a substation, which then distributes it to high-voltage or ultra-high-voltage overhead grids.

In these two scenarios, if the distance from the power station to the grid connection point is relatively short and the load is not large, AAC cable could be an economical choice. For medium distances or where better physical performance is required, AAAC cable may be a better option. For long-distance transmission or where special cable strength requirements are needed, especially when overhead lines need to cross complex terrain or withstand extreme weather conditions, ACSR conductor will be the most suitable choice.

AAC: All-Aluminum Conductor (AAC) cables are relatively low-cost, lightweight, and have good conductivity, making them suitable for short-distance transmission and light load conditions. Egter, their strength is relatively low, with limited tensile capability, which might not be suitable for long distances or situations requiring high mechanical strength.

AAAC: Compared to AAC, All-Aluminum Alloy Conductor (AAAC) cables have higher mechanical strength, better tensile strength, and corrosion resistance while maintaining good conductivity. This makes AAAC more suitable for medium-length transmission lines and environments with certain mechanical strength requirements, although the cost may be slightly higher than AAC.

ACSR: Aluminium Steel Reinforced Conductor (ACSR) cables combine the excellent conductivity of aluminum with the high strength of steel. They are particularly suitable for long-distance, heavy load, or transmission lines with strict mechanical strength requirements. ACSR cables can effectively withstand storms, snow loads, and line tension but are relatively more expensive.

In solar power generation systems, the choice between AAC, AAAC, or ACSR cables mainly depends on the system’s design, transmission distance, load requirements, and cost-benefit analysis. For short-distance and light load power transmission, AAC can be selected. For medium distances or where better physical performance is needed, AAAC is suitable. For long-distance transmission or complex environmental conditions, ACSR is usually the preferred choice.

When selecting overhead lines for photovoltaic power generation systems, several key factors must be considered to ensure the system’s safety, doeltreffendheid, and long-term reliability:

Environmental Conditions: Evaluate the climate conditions of the installation site, including wind speed, rainfall, temperature range, ice load, and salt spray corrosion. Choose overhead cable types and specifications that can withstand these environmental impacts.

Voltage Level and Current Carrying Capacity: Select cables with the appropriate voltage level and sufficient current carrying capacity based on the output power of the photovoltaic power generation system and grid connection requirements to ensure safe and lossless power transmission.

Conductor Type: Consider using AAC, AAAC, or ACSR conductors based on transmission distance, load requirements, and cost-benefit analysis. For low-voltage transmission, use insulated cables such as PVC or XLPE insulated cables.

Route Planning: Follow overhead line route selection principles, such as shortening the path as much as possible, reducing corners, avoiding potential obstacles and hazardous areas, ensuring line stability, and ease of maintenance.

Mechanical Strength and Durability: Choose cables that can withstand tension, wind pressure, and other mechanical stresses. For long-distance transmission or harsh environments, high mechanical strength ACSR may be the better choice.

Installation and Maintenance: Consider the ease of installation, maintenance costs, and potential future expansion needs. Choose cable types that are easy to install and maintain.

Safety: Ensure that overhead cables and accessories comply with local safety standards and regulations, including lightning protection and grounding requirements, to prevent electrical fires and electric shock risks.

Cost-Effectiveness: Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the costs and benefits of different overhead power cable solutions, including initial investment, operational maintenance costs, and expected lifespan, to make the most economical and reasonable decision.

Compatibility and Compliance: Ensure that the selected overhead cable matches the output power of the photovoltaic system and meets national or regional electrical safety standards and grid connection requirements.

Future Expandability: Consider the potential expansion of the solar system. Choose cables with some redundancy to facilitate convenient upgrades when increasing generation capacity or improving the system in the future.

The final cable selection should be based on the specific project’s actual situation, including environmental factors, budget constraints, safety standards, and grid requirements.
