With the increasingly serious problems of global climate change and environmental pollution, the development and utilization of new energy has become the focus of attention of all countries. In China, the government attaches great importance to the development of new energy industry and cultivates it as a national strategic emerging industry. In this process, robotics, as a representative of advanced manufacturing technology, is gradually becoming an important force in the field of new energy research. This paper will discuss how robots play an important role in new energy research and the future development trend.
Robots help the current situation of new energy research
1. Solar energy field
In the field of solar energy, robots are mainly used in various links of the photovoltaic industry chain. For example, in the production process of silicon wafers, robots can realize automated cutting, cleaning, testing and other functions to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. In the production of solar cell modules, robots can carry out precise welding, layout, lamination and other operations to ensure product quality. In addition, the robot can also carry out inspections, cleaning, fault troubleshooting and other tasks during the operation and maintenance of solar power stations to improve the operational efficiency of power stations.
2. Wind energy field
In the field of wind energy, robots are mainly used in the manufacture, installation and operation and maintenance of wind power generation equipment. In the manufacturing process of wind power equipment, robots can carry out welding, painting, assembly and other processes to improve production accuracy. In the installation of wind power equipment, robots can replace manual overhead work, reducing safety risks. In the operation and maintenance stage, the robot can carry out blade inspection, fault diagnosis and other tasks to ensure the stable operation of wind power generation equipment.
3. Biomass energy field
In the field of biomass energy, robots are mainly used in the production of biomass fuels and the operation and maintenance of biomass power generation equipment. In the process of biomass fuel production, robots can perform operations such as raw material pretreatment, mixing and molding to improve fuel quality. In the operation and maintenance of biomass power generation equipment, robots can carry out equipment inspection, fault troubleshooting and other tasks to reduce operation and maintenance costs.
Advantages of robots to help new energy research
1. Improvement of production efficiency
Robots are characterized by high efficiency, stability, and continuous operation, which can greatly improve the production efficiency of the new energy industry and reduce production costs.
2. Guarantee product quality
Robots have high precision and good repeatability, which can ensure product quality during the new energy production process.
3. Reduce safety risks
Some parts of the new energy industry exist in dangerous environments such as high altitude, high temperature, high pressure, and so on, and the robots can replace the manual labor to carry out the work and reduce the safety risks.
4. Saving human resources
With the aging of the population, the cost of labor is rising. Robots can replace part of the labor force and save human resources.
Challenges and Prospects of Robotically Assisted New Energy Research
1. Technology Challenges
Currently, the application of robotics in the field of new energy is still immature, especially the ability to sense, recognize, and process in complex environments needs to be improved.
2. Cost Challenges
The new energy industry is cost-sensitive, and the high acquisition and maintenance costs of robots have limited their application in some areas.
3. Policy support
The government should increase the policy support for the research, development, and application of robots in the field of new energy, and promote industrial technological innovation.
4. Future Prospects
With the continuous progress of robotics technology, its application in the field of new energy will be more extensive. In the future, robots are expected to realize full penetration in new energy research and development, production, operation and maintenance, and provide strong support for the development of China's new energy industry.
In short, robotics help new energy research has a broad development prospects. Under the joint efforts of policy, technology, market and other parties, robots will inject a strong impetus for the high-quality development of China's new energy industry and build a green future.
