At five o 'clock in the morning, Yangcheng, Jiangsu Province, "fishing and light one" base, farmers Lao Chen squatting in the pond worry - the head is a piece of photovoltaic panels, the foot is turning the belly of the bass seedling.
No one expected that three months later, a group of nail-sized black boxes -CHIPSENSE AN5V series current sensors, unexpectedly let this 3,000 acres of fish pond to achieve "power generation increased by 13%, fish fry survival rate doubled" wonder.
The painful lessons of a head enterprise in 2022 are still being discussed by the industry:
- A misjudgment of the current sensor in a project in northern Jiangsu resulted in nighttime reverse discharge of the inverter
- Charged pond water killed 200 thousand pounds of crabs
- The amount of compensation exceeds the annual income from electricity generation
2. The Miniaturization Revolution: Guardians smaller than fish feed
- 67% smaller: the palm-sized CHIPSENSE current sensor AN5V is hidden on the back of the PV bracket
- No insertion loss design: the measured branch power generation loss is reduced from 0.3% to 0.07%
"It used to take out five photovoltaic panels to install a sensor," Chen said. "Now it's like putting Band-Aids on a shelf."
3. The survival philosophy behind violent certification
-UL 94-V0 flame-retardant housing: 45 seconds with a spray gun without open flame (live demonstration burnt the engineer's bangs)
- IEC 61010 Double insurance: Maintain 0.5 class accuracy at 98% humidity at the pond edge
The most convincing operation team was the "dirt test" - tying the sensor to the aerator, following the machine in the water for three months, and finding that the zero shift of the magnetic core was only 0.03%.
2. Economic accounts: The magic of earning 2 cents more on electricity
- Lossless design generates 37,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year (enough for 200 households)
- 25% reduction in O&M costs due to modular replacement
3. Environmental accounts: Ambition hidden in standards
- EN50178 Certified escort 20-year life cycle
- Shell made of recycled polycarbonate (each AN5V recycled = save 5 water bottles)
Conclusion
When the industry is still debating whether "fishing-light complementation is a false proposition", on the monitoring screen of Yancheng Base, the current curve returned by CHIPSENSE current sensor AN5V is perfectly overlapping with the cruise track of fish.
Perhaps as the CHIPSENSE engineers wrote in the Tang side of the joke: "We are not building sensors, is to give electronic components aquaculture professional lessons."
