  • 用ESP32构建低功耗传感器节点,集成多种环境参数采集。
  • 在无云连接下实现24小时电压预测,误差仅0.2975V(4.65%范围)。
  • 支持设备端增量学习,适合偏远地区长期自适应部署。

超本地气象感知对精准光伏发电预测至关重要,但专业气象站单节点成本常超1000美元,难以大规模部署。本文提出一种基于ESP32微控制器的模块化物联网设备,集成温湿度、光照及太阳辐照度传感器,封装于IP68级外壳中,硬件总成本约65美元(德国采购)。系统采用混合架构:外部使用Python与TensorFlow离线训练模型,部署后由三层数感网络以3,011个参数(11.8KB)在设备端执行24小时光伏电压预测,无需云端连接。通过设备端增量梯度下降机制,在不重新训练的情况下实现持续模型更新。在德国乌尔姆进行短期验证,并在墨西哥萨波潘完成115天实地部署(含84天训练和31天自主运行,零数据缺失)。在28天晴天窗口期,嵌入式模型达到决定系数0.9165,平均绝对误差0.2975伏特(占工作范围4.65%),优于气候基准(技能得分0.64),但未超越24小时持续性基准。冻结权重对照实验表明,设备端更新机制带来小但统计显著的精度提升(p=0.001),证明低功耗硬件上无需云端即可实现自主增量学习。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Hyperlocal meteorological sensing is essential for accurate solar photovoltaic forecasting, yet professional-grade meteorological stations require investments easily exceeding 1000~USD per node, making distributed deployments economically inaccessible. This work presents a modular internet of things (IoT) device based on the ESP32 microcontroller integrating temperature, humidity, luminosity, and solar irradiance sensors in an IP68-rated enclosure at a total hardware costs of about \$65~USD when components are sourced in Germany. A hybrid architecture decouples external model training, performed on a conventional computer using the software Python and the open-source library TensorFlow, from autonomous 24-hour solar voltage forecasting executed on-device via a three-layer feedforward network with 3{,}011 parameters (11.8\,KB). The network is trained offline on site-collected data and deployed on the microcontroller as static weight matrices without cloud connectivity. An on-device incremental gradient descent mechanism enables continuous model adaptation after deployment without external retraining. The system was evaluated through two field deployments: a short period of hardware and firmware validation in Ulm, Germany, and a 115-day deployment in Zapopan, Mexico, comprising 84~days of training and 31~days of autonomous operation with zero missing records. Over a clean 28-day daytime window, the embedded model attained a coefficient of determination of 0.9165 and a mean absolute error of 0.2975~V (4.65\% of the operational range), outperforming a climatology baseline (skill score 0.64) while not surpassing a 24-hour persistence baseline. A frozen-weight ablation confirms that the on-device update mechanism yields a small but statistically robust accuracy gain ($p = 0.001$), demonstrating that autonomous incremental learning is feasible on low-cost hardware without cloud connectivity.
