This article proposes a Deeplab-YOLO hot-spot defect detection method that combines segmentation and detection with infrared images and based on the differences and features in the shape, size, and color of PV panels and hot spots. On the one hand, it can meet the accuracy of segmentation and enhance the edge features of the target.
Aiming at the problem of difficult operation and maintenance of PV power plants in complex backgrounds and combined with image processing technology, a method for detecting hot spot defects in infrared image PV panels that combines segmentation and detection, Deeplab-YOLO, is proposed.
The hotspot defect detection (HDD) of PV modules is to detect hotspot defects from the infrared images (IFIs), which are captured by the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) at about 20 ms. The IFIs have the next characteristics: the image backgrounds are complex, a large number of disturbed heat sources are existed, and the size of hotspots are tiny.
The detection method is based on equivalent DC impedance (EDCI) of the panel's strings, which has useful signatures for hot spot detection. The EDCI monitoring of the panel's strings is performed using a current sensor and several simple resistive voltage dividers. After the detection, hot spotted string is open circuited using a two-state relay.
To prevent a hot spot in a PV (Photovoltaic) module, opening the circuit of the substring containing the mismatched cell is an effective method. This is because no current or power will flow through any cell in the PV substring when the module is bypassed, thereby preventing hot spotting. Once a hot spot is detected, this approach ensures no net output power is produced.
