Description

Photovoltaic module hot spot detection method and system based on unmanned aerial vehicle
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of operation of power grids and power systems, in particular to a photovoltaic module hot spot detection method and system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle.
Background
The method for detecting the hot spots of the photovoltaic module is generally adopted at present in the modes of electrical characteristic monitoring and infrared image analysis.
The detection method based on electrical characteristic monitoring mainly comprises the steps of building a physical circuit on the periphery of a photovoltaic module or a photovoltaic array, collecting output parameters (output voltage, output current and the like) of the photovoltaic module or the photovoltaic array in real time, and analyzing the circuit output characteristics by utilizing a mathematical statistical model or machine learning (a neural network, a fuzzy clustering algorithm and the like), so that the photovoltaic module or the photovoltaic array with the hot spot fault is detected. The method is simple in implementation principle, but for a large photovoltaic power station, thousands or even tens of thousands of sensors are needed to complete data acquisition, so that the cost is high, and the detection efficiency is reduced along with the increase of the scale of the photovoltaic power station.
The detection method based on image analysis is mainly based on the fact that the infrared image can reflect the temperature distribution condition of the solar cell in different working states, and hot spot detection is achieved through machine learning or an image processing method. In the detection method based on image analysis, the detection methods generally adopted are divided into the following modes:
(1) The method for detecting the photovoltaic hot spot faults based on the fuzzy clustering algorithm combines the fuzzy clustering and two-dimensional histogram segmentation modes, so that the photovoltaic array area with faults is preferentially segmented, then the temperature characteristics of all areas are extracted, and meanwhile, the detection operation is completed by means of membership functions.
(2) The maximum divergence threshold difference method is used as a basis to provide a photovoltaic hot spot fault detection method, and the self-adaptive threshold segmentation operation is carried out on the reinforced photovoltaic array infrared image, so that hot spot detection is realized.
(3) According to the photovoltaic array hot spot detection method based on Canny edge detection, a photovoltaic array with possible hot spots is extracted in advance by using Canny edge detection, and then the distribution condition of a temperature histogram of the photovoltaic array area is counted to realize hot spot detection.
(4) The hot spot detection method based on an SLIC (simple iterative clustering algorithm) algorithm is used for improving the accuracy of hot spot detection, a photovoltaic array area is divided into a plurality of sub-areas according to temperature characteristics by using the SLIC algorithm, and the temperature and area characteristics of each sub-area are extracted and counted, so that the hot spot detection is realized.
The detection methods (1) and (2) have obvious effects at present, but in the process of processing the infrared image of the photovoltaic array, the method can only process the condition without any background environment interference, and if the background of the infrared image of the photovoltaic power station is quite complex, the method cannot be directly used. (3) In contrast to the method of the present invention, the detection efficiency is significantly higher, but the background in the infrared image of the photovoltaic power station still needs to be manually separated in advance, and the photovoltaic array area is reserved, so that the degree of automation is not high. The detection method of (4) can process the infrared image at any time, but is still in a simulation stage at present, and has low practicality and high cost.

Firstly, aiming at the method in the embodiment, the method is applied to a Guangdong photovoltaic power station to carry out an unmanned aerial vehicle photovoltaic panel hot spot detection experiment, and the detection is carried out when the solar irradiance is more than 700W/m 2 The detection in the power station is performed at this time, covering all photovoltaic modules. Average value of difference value between hot spot temperature of all hot spot photovoltaic modules and central temperature of corresponding photovoltaic modules; the dividing standard of the hot spot photovoltaic module is defined by CNCA/CTS 0016-2015 technical specification of grid-connected photovoltaic power station performance detection and quality evaluation, and the hot spot photovoltaic module is regarded as the hot spot photovoltaic module when the temperature difference in the same photovoltaic module is more than 20 ℃.
The test selects a photovoltaic power station as a distributed photovoltaic power station, selects a roof and a roof as experimental objects, has a loading capacity of 10MWp, installs polycrystalline silicon single-sided photovoltaic modules with nominal power of 270Wp, and has installation inclination angles of 15 degrees (tiling along the roof); the height of the lowest point of the photovoltaic module in the roof is about 25m from the ground, the height of the lowest point of the photovoltaic module in the roof is about 3.5m from the ground, and the detection time is 11 months. The solar irradiance on the day of detection is monitored to ensure that the detection is performed after the solar irradiance is greater than 700W/m 2. The solar irradiance, the ambient temperature and the photovoltaic module backboard temperature curve of the solar photovoltaic power station are shown in fig. 7, and specific data are shown in the following table:
Figure BDA0004033830930000121
from the table above, it can be seen that: although the average temperature difference of the hot spots in the 2 areas is relatively close and is slightly higher than 20 ℃, the average temperature of the hot spots in the roof area is obviously higher and reaches 75.5 ℃, which is caused by the fact that the temperature of the back plate of the photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic power station is generally higher; the duty ratio of the hot spot photovoltaic module in the roof is 0.16%, which is obviously higher than 0.09% of the roof of the car shed. It can be seen from the above that: the hot spot effect of the roof is more remarkable than that of a shed, and the hot spot is more likely to occur in the photovoltaic power station and the temperature of the hot spot is higher.
Compared with the traditional mode of manually inspecting the high-altitude camera, the detection accuracy of the hot spots of the photovoltaic module based on the unmanned aerial vehicle is improved by 50%, the labor cost is saved by about 50 ten thousand yuan/year, the power generation efficiency is improved by more than 10%, and the new benefit of the average year is about 100 ten thousand yuan.
