Optical Fiber Communication and Energy Efficiency Optimization in Photovoltaic Power Stations

Abstract

 In the field of new energy photovoltaics, optical fibers and cables play a crucial supporting role. Cables are responsible for transmitting electricity, while optical fibers are responsible for transmitting information. However, their integration remains inadequate, with relatively high costs and extensive land use leading to resource waste. Effective integration of these components could significantly improve energy efficiency, thereby enhancing the operational efficiency of photovoltaic power stations. This paper focuses on utilizing optical fiber communication to enhance the energy efficiency of photovoltaic power stations, ensuring stable power transmission and efficient system operation, and improving their applicability and economic performance. Additionally, this paper addresses the energy efficiency issues of photovoltaic power plants, discusses future development directions and challenges, and highlights the immense potential of optical-electrical composite cables.
