随着光伏发电渗透率的提高以及野火事件的增加，了解野火烟雾对光伏（PV）系统的影响对于电力系统的可靠性和稳定性至关重要。然而，现有文献中尚未广泛讨论和研究这一问题。这项研究面临的重大挑战之一是烟雾的量化。由于野火烟雾的高度、动态性以及对太阳光谱辐照度的非线性影响，气溶胶光学厚度（AOD）和PM2.5等传统方法无法准确用于量化野火烟雾对光伏系统的影响。在本研究中，利用野火烟雾的光学特性开发了一种新方法，并提出了一种基于光伏器件光谱响应（SR）的方法来估算理论上光伏功率输出的降低。这项研究的成果能够精确测量不同类型光伏电池因野火烟雾导致的功率输出降低。这种开发的方法可用于电力系统的运行和规划，以确保电网的稳定性和可靠性。此外，本文还表明，对于野火高风险地区，需要考虑不同的光伏电池技术，以尽量减少野火烟雾导致的功率降低。
Understanding the impact of wildfire smoke on photovoltaic (PV) systems is critical for the reliability and stability of power systems with the increasing PV penetration and wildfire events. However, this problem has not been widely discussed and studied in the existing literature. One of the significant challenges for this study is the quantification of the smoke. Because of the wildfire smoke elevation, dynamics, and nonlinear effects on solar spectral irradiance, traditional methods such as aerosol optical depth (AOD) and PM 2.5 cannot be utilized to quantify the impact of wildfire smoke on PV systems accurately. In this study, a novel method is developed using the optical properties of wildfire smoke, and an approach based on PV devices’ spectral response (SR) is presented to estimate the theoretical PV power output reduction. The outcome of this study can precisely measure the power output reduction caused by wildfire smoke for different types of PV cells. This developed method can be adopted for power systems operation and planning to ensure the stability and reliability of the power grids. Besides, this paper also shows that different PV cell technologies need to be considered for high wildfire-risk areas to minimize the power reduction caused by wildfire smoke.
