[0002] Photovoltaic power generation mainly receives light energy through a battery pack and converts it into electrical energy through a photovoltaic battery pack. There are many factors affecting the efficiency of photovoltaic panels, including the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel, the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel assembly (in the life cycle of the photovoltaic station, there is a problem of gradual reduction of component efficiency and electrical element performance, and the power generation capacity decreases year by year. In addition to these natural aging factors, there are also quality problems of components and inverters, line layout, series-parallel loss, cable loss, etc.), dust shielding, shadow and object shielding. These factors directly affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0003] Currently, for the factors affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, there are some solutions for dynamically adjusting the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel. However, for the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel assembly, dust shielding and shadow object shielding factors, monitoring and daily manual inspection are still mainly relied on to monitor the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, especially relying on manual inspection, which is low in labor cost and work efficiency. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is that currently, for the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel assembly, dust shielding and shadow object shielding factors, monitoring and daily manual inspection are still mainly relied on to monitor the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, especially relying on manual inspection, which is low in labor cost and work efficiency. The present application provides a photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology. The present application also provides a photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring system based on image recognition technology. The present application uses image recognition to assist in automatically monitoring the dust shielding and shadow object shielding of the photovoltaic panel, and simultaneously assists in real-time monitoring of the output power of the photovoltaic panel. By combining the two, the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel is monitored for the reference of the monitoring personnel and the arrangement of daily maintenance work, so as to solve the defects caused by the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, a photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology is provided, which comprises the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Obtain the historical output power data and unshielded photo data of the photovoltaic panel. Calculate the historical efficiency output power interval [min, max] and the maximum change slope s in a certain period of time according to the historical output power data. Extract the baseline edge feature data according to the photo data.

[0008] Step 2: Real-time acquisition of output power data and video stream data of the photovoltaic panel in the target detection area;

[0009] Step 3: Determine whether the output power data exceeds the historical efficiency output power interval or the maximum change slope;

[0010] If not, perform step 1;

[0011] If yes, perform step 4;

[0012] Step 4: Process the video stream data according to the edge recognition algorithm to obtain the edge feature data of the photovoltaic panel;

[0013] Step 5: Compare the edge feature data with the reference edge feature data to obtain the image feature difference;

[0014] Step 6: Determine whether the image feature difference exceeds the similarity preset value, which is set and adjusted according to actual operation;

[0015] If yes, output that the photovoltaic panel accumulates dust or is blocked by a shadow object;

[0016] If not, output that the photovoltaic panel cell component conversion efficiency is abnormal;

[0017] According to the corresponding output evaluation, the operator can reasonably arrange maintenance tasks, specifically whether to arrange photovoltaic panel cleaning or component maintenance tasks;

[0018] When monitoring the photovoltaic panel, the element fault diagnosis technology of the photovoltaic panel cell group can also be introduced. According to the mechanism model of the element itself or certain expert rules, a cell group element fault diagnosis model is established and combined into the monitoring method. When the photovoltaic panel efficiency is abnormal and the photovoltaic panel cleanliness and other object blocking factors on site are not affected, the photovoltaic panel cell group element is diagnosed for fault, which can bring more refined guidance to the monitoring method.

[0019] The above-mentioned photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology, wherein the method for calculating the historical efficiency output power interval [min, max] and the maximum change slope within a certain period according to the historical output power data is as follows:

[0020] After cleaning the historical output power data, the power data of the photovoltaic panel under normal working conditions is selected and recorded as p;

[0021] The minimum value and the maximum value are calculated by bringing p into formula 1, and the interval [min, max] of the minimum value and the maximum value is the historical efficiency output power;

[0022] Formula 1:

[0023] Wherein, the expected value of X is equal to a linear combination of one or more lag periods, plus a constant term, plus a random error, and c is the constant term, is an autocorrelation coefficient, and ε t is a random error value which is assumed to have an average of 0 and a standard deviation of σ, and σ is assumed to be constant for any t;

[0024] The maximum change slope of the historical output power is derived by using the least square method.

[0025] The specific method of deriving the maximum change slope of the historical output power by using the least square method in the photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology is as follows:

[0026] The change slope value k and the constant b between each point are obtained by bringing any two points into the formula according to the slope-intercept form y=kx+b, and the coordinate values (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3), …, (xn, yn) of n points in the plane. n n

[0027] The slope k=(y2-y1) / (x2-x1) is derived according to the slope formula, and the maximum change slope is obtained by taking the maximum value of the obtained slope. The specific method of obtaining the reference edge feature data by performing edge feature extraction on the photograph data in step 1 of the photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology is as follows:

[0028] After median filtering and denoising processing of the photograph data, the CNN is used for feature extraction, and the BP neural network is used for feature fusion to obtain the reference edge feature data.

[0029] The specific method of obtaining the edge feature data of the photovoltaic panel by processing the video stream data according to the edge recognition algorithm in step 4 of the photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology is as follows:

[0030] The video stream data is image processed to obtain a plurality of image data;

[0031] The pixel points of the image data are detected and connected to form contour pixel points.

[0032] ​​The image data with the contour pixel points is subjected to boundary point detection and the boundary points are integrated with the contour pixel points while false pixel points are removed to obtain the edge feature data;

[0033] The photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology, wherein the image data obtained by image processing on the video stream data is further subjected to noise reduction processing.

[0034] The photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology, wherein the edge recognition algorithm is Roberts operator, Prewitt operator, Sobel operator, Canny operator or Laplacian operator, and the edge detection of the image is based on the gradient of the image, and the gradient of the image is obtained by using various operators to perform convolution operation on the image.

[0035] In order to achieve the purpose of evaluating the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, the edge recognition second-order Laplacian operator is preferably used to extract the edge features of the photovoltaic panel. The Laplacian operator is a second-order differential operator with rotational invariance and isotropy. The response obtained by processing individual pixel points is stronger than that obtained by processing edge points. Therefore, it is not suitable for processing images with high noise intensity. If the detected image has high noise, low-pass filtering is required to remove the noise.

[0036] The Laplacian edge extraction process is as follows: 1) Gaussian blur - remove noise; 2) convert to grayscale; 3) Laplace - calculate the second derivative of Laplacian; 4) take absolute value - the edge image can be obtained here; 5) binarization threshold processing - enhance edge features - obtain more obvious edge image.

[0037] The Laplacian operator of the image function is a second-order derivative (f is a second-order differentiable real function), and its definition is as follows:

[0038]

[0039] The discrete form of the Laplacian operator suitable for digital image processing is as follows:

[0040]

[0041] The Laplacian operator generated by the above formula 3 is divided into four-neighborhood operator and eight-neighborhood operator. The four-neighborhood operator calculates the gradient in four directions of the neighborhood of the center pixel, and the eight-neighborhood operator calculates the gradient in eight directions. The operator definition is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] It can be found by Laplacian operator that when the pixel gray value of itself and its neighborhood is the same, the operation result after Laplacian operator processing is zero.

[0044] When the gray value of the pixel point itself is higher than the average gray value of the pixel points in its neighborhood, the operation result is positive; otherwise, it is negative.

[0045] Therefore, the zero-crossing point between the positive peak and the negative peak can be used to determine the edge point of the image.

[0046] Laplacian operator is particularly sensitive to noise, so in order to obtain better edge detection effect, the image needs to be blurred and smoothed to remove high-frequency noise in the image.

[0047] In a second aspect, a photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring system based on image recognition technology, comprising a data processing module, a data acquisition module, a judgment module, a feature extraction module, and a comparison module.

[0048] The data processing module is configured to obtain historical output power data and unobstructed photo data of the photovoltaic panel, calculate the historical efficiency output power interval [min, max] and the maximum change slope s within a certain period of time according to the historical output power data, and extract the baseline edge feature data according to the photo data.

[0049] The data acquisition module is configured to acquire real-time output power data and video stream data of the photovoltaic panel in the target detection area.

[0050] The judgment module is configured to acquire the output power data, the historical efficiency output power interval, and the maximum change slope, judge whether the output power data exceeds the historical efficiency output power interval or the maximum change slope, and generate feedback data transmitted to the data processing module and the feature extraction module.

[0051] The feature extraction module is configured to process the video stream data according to an edge recognition algorithm to obtain the edge feature data of the photovoltaic panel.

[0052] The comparison module is configured to compare the edge feature data with the baseline edge feature data to obtain the image feature difference.

[0053] The judgment module is further configured to judge whether the image feature difference exceeds a preset similarity value, and if it does, output that the photovoltaic panel accumulates dust or is obstructed by a shadow object, and if it does not, output that the photovoltaic panel battery assembly conversion efficiency is abnormal.

[0079] The above-mentioned photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology, wherein the method for calculating the historical efficiency output power interval [min, max] and the maximum change slope in a certain period according to the historical output power data is as follows:

[0080] After cleaning the historical output power data, the power data of the photovoltaic panel under normal working condition is screened and recorded as p;

[0081] The p is brought into formula 1 to calculate the minimum value and the maximum value, and the interval [min, max] of the minimum value and the maximum value is the historical efficiency output power;

[0082] Formula 1:

[0083] Wherein: the expected value of X is equal to the linear combination of one or more lag periods, plus a constant term, plus a random error, c is the constant term, is the autocorrelation coefficient, and ε t is a random error value assumed to have an average of 0 and a standard deviation of σ; σ is assumed to be constant for any t;

[0084] The maximum change slope of the historical output power is derived by using the least square method.

[0085] The above-mentioned photovoltaic panel efficiency monitoring method based on image recognition technology, wherein the specific method for deriving the maximum change slope of the historical output power by using the least square method is as follows:

[0086] According to the slope-intercept form y=kx+b, the coordinate values (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3), …, (x n , y n ) of n points in the plane are calculated, and the slope value k and the constant b between each point are obtained by bringing any two points into the formula;

[0087] According to the slope formula, k=(y2-y1) / (x2-x1) is derived, and the maximum value of the obtained slope is the maximum change slope. The specific method of obtaining the reference edge feature data by performing edge feature extraction on the photograph data in step 1 is as follows:

[0088] After the photograph data is subjected to median filtering denoising processing, the CNN is used for feature extraction, and the BP neural network is used for feature fusion to obtain the reference edge feature data.

[0089] The specific method of obtaining the edge feature data of the photovoltaic panel by processing the video stream data according to the edge recognition algorithm in step 4 is as follows:

[0090] The video stream data is subjected to image processing to obtain a plurality of image data;

[0091] The pixel points of the image data are detected and connected to form contour pixel points;

[0092] The image data with contour pixel points is subjected to boundary point detection and integrated with the contour pixel points, and false pixel points are removed to obtain edge feature data;

[0093] The specific method of obtaining the edge feature data of the photovoltaic panel by processing the video stream data according to the edge recognition algorithm in step 4 is as follows:

[0094] The specific method of obtaining the edge feature data of the photovoltaic panel by processing the video stream data according to the edge recognition algorithm in step 4 is as follows:

[0095] In order to achieve the purpose of evaluating the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, it is preferred to use the edge recognition second-order Laplacian operator to extract the edge feature of the photovoltaic panel. The Laplacian operator is a rotationally invariant isotropic second-order differential operator. The response obtained by processing individual pixel points is stronger than that obtained by processing edge points, so it is not suitable for processing images with high noise intensity. If the detected image has high noise, low-pass filtering is required to remove the noise.

[0104] When the gray value of the pixel itself is higher than the average gray value of the pixel points in the neighborhood, the operation result is positive; otherwise, it is negative.

[0105] Therefore, the zero-crossing point between the positive peak and the negative peak can be used to determine the edge point of the image.

[0106] The Laplacian operator is particularly sensitive to noise, so in order to obtain better edge detection effect, it is necessary to perform blur smoothing processing on the image to remove high-frequency noise in the image.
