Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic clean technology, specifically to an artificial intelligence-based photovoltaic panel inspection system and method. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic panels are a crucial core component of photovoltaic power plants, converting solar energy into electricity. Since photovoltaic panels collect solar energy outdoors, they accumulate dust over time, affecting power generation efficiency. Therefore, regular cleaning of photovoltaic panels is necessary. Current technologies typically employ manual or mechanical cleaning, but the drawback is that dust accumulation does not increase uniformly over time. Seasonal characteristics, local disturbances, or regional environmental factors can significantly alter the rate of dust accumulation. Therefore, a scheduled dust removal model cannot automatically adapt to these changes, lacking artificial intelligence, resulting in untimely dust removal and preventing the maximization of power generation efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an artificial intelligence-based photovoltaic panel inspection system and method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] An artificial intelligence-based photovoltaic panel inspection method, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Step S100: Obtain photovoltaic panel surface image information from historical data, generate photovoltaic panel surface grayscale value based on the image information, and calculate the growth rate of photovoltaic panel surface grayscale value;
[0007] Step S200: Obtain the air dust concentration and ambient wind value of the area where the photovoltaic panel is located from historical data. The ambient wind value includes ambient wind speed and ambient wind direction. Calculate the impact rate of the increase in gray value on the surface of the photovoltaic panel.
[0008] Step S300: Calculate the dust accumulation rate on the photovoltaic panel surface based on the growth rate of the gray value on the photovoltaic panel surface and the influence rate of the gray value growth on the photovoltaic panel surface;
[0009] Step S400: Obtain the current image information of the photovoltaic panel surface and obtain the current grayscale value of the photovoltaic panel surface; based on the current grayscale value of the photovoltaic panel surface and the dust accumulation rate of the photovoltaic panel surface, establish a dust accumulation prediction model for the photovoltaic panel surface, perform artificial intelligence prediction on the amount of dust accumulation on the photovoltaic panel surface, and output early warning information;
[0010] Step S500: Obtain meteorological information of the area where the photovoltaic panel is located from historical data, wherein the meteorological information is the precipitation in the area where the photovoltaic panel is located; establish a rainwater washing model based on the precipitation, calculate the surface gray value of the photovoltaic panel after rainwater washing, perform artificial intelligence calibration on the early warning information, and output calibration information;
[0011] In the above method, the calculated growth rate of the gray value on the surface of the photovoltaic panel does not include precipitation, because photovoltaic power stations are usually not built in areas with frequent rainfall. Photovoltaic power stations need to be built in areas with abundant sunshine and long hours of sunlight. However, the impact of air dust and ambient wind occurs frequently, even daily. Wind sometimes blows away dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and at the same time, it brings dust from the air into the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Air dust and ambient wind are the main factors affecting the accumulation of dust on the surface of photovoltaic panels. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the concentration of air dust and ambient wind value, and to treat precipitation as a special case. At the same time, precipitation can wash away some of the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel.
[0012] Furthermore, the specific implementation process for calculating the growth rate of grayscale values on the surface of the photovoltaic panel includes:
[0013] The grayscale value of the photovoltaic panel surface is denoted as . ,in Indicates the first During the second inspection, image information of the photovoltaic panel surface is collected to generate grayscale values of the photovoltaic panel surface. The specific calculation formula for the growth rate of the grayscale values of the photovoltaic panel surface is as follows:
[0014]
[0015] in, This indicates the growth rate of grayscale value on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. This represents the total number of times the image information of the photovoltaic panel surface was collected to generate the grayscale value of the photovoltaic panel surface. Indicates the first During the second inspection, image information of the photovoltaic panel surface is collected to generate grayscale values of the photovoltaic panel surface. Indicates the first The second inspection to the first The time interval between collecting image information of the photovoltaic panel surface during the second inspection and generating grayscale values of the photovoltaic panel surface. ;
[0016] In the above method, the amount of dust accumulation does not increase at a uniform rate over time, so it is necessary to subtract the gray values of each inspection in turn to refine the gray value changes and make the data analysis more accurate; the inspection can be carried out by drones.
[0017] Furthermore, the specific implementation process for calculating the impact rate of the increase in grayscale value on the surface of the photovoltaic panel includes:
[0018] Step S201: Obtain the ambient wind value of the area where the photovoltaic panel is located from historical data, taking the direction parallel to the photovoltaic panel as the fixed direction, where the photovoltaic panel direction is the direction in which the photovoltaic panel is tilted downwards; decompose the ambient wind direction of the area where the photovoltaic panel is located into two ambient wind vectors, one parallel to the fixed direction and one perpendicular to the fixed direction, and record the ambient wind vector parallel to the fixed direction as the parallel ambient wind direction, and record the angle between the decomposed parallel ambient wind directions as... ,and ;
[0019] In the above method, the ambient wind direction can be easily obtained through a wind vane. The ambient wind is decomposed to study the impact of the ambient wind on the photovoltaic panel. The parallel ambient wind direction is the key influencing factor that blows away or brings dust into the surface of the photovoltaic panel, while the ambient wind vector perpendicular to the fixed direction is a normal force and its role in the force is negligible. Therefore, the parallel ambient wind needs to be studied as the main focus of the two ambient wind vectors.
[0020] Step S202: Record the air dust concentration as The ambient wind speed is recorded as Record the ambient wind direction as ,in Indicates the first Next to During the inspection This monitoring was conducted; using the air dust concentration, ambient wind speed, and surface gray value of the photovoltaic panels in the area where they are located as independent variables, and the influence rate of the increase in surface gray value of the photovoltaic panels as the dependent variable, a training model was established. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0021]
[0022] Wherein, K represents the impact rate of the increase in gray value on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. This represents the total number of times the image information of the photovoltaic panel surface was collected to generate the grayscale value of the photovoltaic panel surface. and They represent the first Second and third The decomposed angle of the parallel environmental wind direction in the second monitoring, where n represents the angle of the first monitoring. Next to Total number of monitoring sessions during the inspection period , , and Represents the training coefficient values. , and They represent the first The air dust concentration, ambient wind speed, and ambient wind direction were monitored in this instance. ;
[0023] In the above method, the denominator of the training model calculation formula is actually based on the idea of a multivariate linear model algorithm. The three factors affecting the dust accumulation rate of photovoltaic panels—air dust concentration, ambient wind speed, and ambient wind direction—are used as independent variables for training. This allows us to obtain the relationship between the fluctuation of dust accumulation on the surface of the photovoltaic panel and the changes in the three environmental factors, and to determine the impact of the changing trends of the three factors on the dust accumulation of the photovoltaic panel. The calculated growth rate of the gray value of the photovoltaic panel surface actually includes the influence of air dust concentration, ambient wind speed, and ambient wind direction. Therefore, it is necessary to train and convert the influence rate of the gray value growth of the photovoltaic panel surface.
[0024] Furthermore, the specific implementation process of establishing a prediction model for dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic panels, using artificial intelligence to predict the amount of dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic panels, and outputting early warning information includes:
[0025] Step S401: Acquire the current image information of the photovoltaic panel surface, and generate the grayscale value of the photovoltaic panel surface from the current image information; based on the current grayscale value of the photovoltaic panel surface and the dust accumulation rate of the photovoltaic panel surface, establish a dust accumulation prediction model for the photovoltaic panel surface in units of time. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

Indicates the current time. Indicates the rate of dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic panels Functions of time
[0028] Step S402: Set the warning value for the grayscale of the photovoltaic panel surface, denoted as... ;if , The system indicates the warning time when dust needs to be cleaned from the surface of the photovoltaic panels. It then uses artificial intelligence to predict the amount of dust accumulation on the photovoltaic panel surface, outputting warning information to remind staff to clean it. Within a specified timeframe, the surface of the photovoltaic panels is cleaned using artificial intelligence; if If so, continue with step S401.
[0029] Furthermore, based on the rainfall, a rainwater washing model is established, and the early warning information is calibrated using artificial intelligence. The specific implementation process for outputting calibration information includes:
[0030] Step S501: Obtain the precipitation amount for each rainfall event in the area where the photovoltaic panels are located from historical data, and record it as follows: To obtain the duration of each precipitation event, denoted as... Using the rainfall amount and duration of each precipitation event as independent variables, and the surface gray value of the photovoltaic panel after each precipitation event as the dependent variable, a rainwater cleaning model is established to calculate the surface gray value of the photovoltaic panel after rainwater cleaning. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0031]
[0032] in, This represents the surface grayscale value of the photovoltaic panel after each rainfall event. and This indicates the adjustment coefficient value;
[0033] Step S502: In If precipitation occurs in the area where the photovoltaic panels are located within the specified time frame, then step S503 is executed; If no precipitation occurs in the area where the photovoltaic panels are located within the time frame, then proceed to step S400.
[0034] Step S503: Obtain the rainfall and duration of rainfall in the area where the photovoltaic panel is located. Based on the rainwater washing model, calculate the surface gray value of the photovoltaic panel after rainwater washing. Replace with B, execute step S400, re-acquire the warning time when dust needs to be cleaned from the photovoltaic panel surface, and record the new warning time as the calibration time. The system performs AI-based calibration on the early warning information, outputs calibration data, and prompts staff to...

[0049] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows: The photovoltaic panel inspection system and method based on artificial intelligence provided by this invention collects image information of the photovoltaic panel surface, air dust concentration, ambient wind speed, and ambient wind direction to provide early warning of the degree of dust accumulation on the photovoltaic panel surface. Through big data artificial intelligence algorithms, data analysis becomes more accurate. Considering that dust accumulation does not increase uniformly over time, seasonal characteristics, local interference factors, or regional natural environmental influences can significantly change the dust accumulation rate. While seasonal characteristics differ across regions, the resulting precipitation patterns are regular. Furthermore, the impact of local factors such as air dust concentration, ambient wind speed, and ambient wind direction on dust accumulation on photovoltaic panels is quantitatively analyzed to determine the impact rate. This enables real-time monitoring and early warning of the degree of dust accumulation on the photovoltaic panel surface, ensuring timely dust removal and maximizing power generation efficiency. This system is applicable to photovoltaic power plants in different environments and regions. Attached Figure Description
