The invention relates to a
photovoltaic power station automatic inspection
system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle. The
system is used for monitoring real-time operation condition of a photovoltaicpower
station and detecting whether problems such as
contamination and hot spots exist in a photovoltaic
cell panel or not. The
system comprises the unmanned aerial vehicle, a
route design module, anonboard module, an
image processing module, a communication module, a fault reconfirmation module and a ground
workstation. The
route design module is used for planning an inspection
route of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The onboard module is composed of a camera and an
infrared thermal imager and is used for collecting real-time images, pictures and thermal images of a photovoltaic module. The communication module is used for transmitting real-
time data back to the ground
workstation and receiving control instructions. The
image processing module is used for
processing image data and judgeswhether a fault exists in the photovoltaic
cell panel or not. The fault reconfirmation module is used for carrying out fault reconfirmation on a suspected fault module, thereby preventing misjudgment.According to the system, the
photovoltaic power station is automatically inspected, inspection efficiency is effectively improved, cost investment is reduced, and a fault point is discovered rapidly.
