Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic module detection, in particular to a photovoltaic module defect detection method and a detection device thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] A photovoltaic module is the core part of a solar photovoltaic power generation system, and its main function is to convert solar energy into electrical energy. A photovoltaic module is usually composed of multiple solar cell pieces combined in series and parallel, and is packaged in a protective frame and a glass or plastic cover. Its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect of semiconductors. When sunlight shines on the cell piece, photons excite electrons in the semiconductor material, generating current and voltage.

[0003] Photovoltaic modules have various types and specifications to adapt to different application scenarios and needs, such as monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, which have relatively high efficiency but relatively high cost; polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, which have relatively low cost and relatively considerable efficiency; thin-film photovoltaic modules, which have flexibility and good weak light performance. Regardless of the type of photovoltaic module, defect detection is required before shipment and actual use for the following reasons:

[0004] 1. Ensure power generation efficiency

[0005] Defects can reduce the efficiency of photovoltaic modules in converting light energy into electrical energy. For example, hidden cracks can cause current transmission to be blocked, and hot spots can cause local energy loss. Timely detection and repair of defects can ensure that the module always maintains high power generation efficiency, thereby improving the output power of the entire photovoltaic system.

[0006] 2. Extend the service life

[0007] Various defects, if not promptly addressed, will gradually worsen over time, accelerating the aging and damage of the module. Regular detection can help identify and address problems early, effectively extending the service life of the photovoltaic module and reducing replacement costs.

[0008] 3. Improve system reliability

[0009] A photovoltaic power station is usually composed of a large number of modules, and a single module failure can affect the stability and reliability of the entire system. Timely detection of defective modules and replacement or repair can reduce the probability of system failure and ensure the continuity of power supply.

[0010] 4. Reduce safety risks

[0011] Some serious defects, such as short circuits, can cause fires and other safety incidents. Regular defect detection can help identify and eliminate these potential safety hazards in advance, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0012] For the above reasons, the detection of defects in photovoltaic modules has become increasingly important. In the prior art, photovoltaic modules that have not yet been shipped are usually detected visually, but visual detection sometimes cannot find subtle defects. In addition, when the visual detection device detects a problem, the original visual system is usually used for rechecking. If the visual system has a problem, the problem cannot be promptly identified. Therefore, there is room for improvement. For photovoltaic modules in use, the prior art usually involves periodic manual inspection. In order to save labor, some places use unmanned aerial vehicles for inspection. For example, in the patent document with application number 202310746748.5, a method and system for unmanned aerial vehicle photovoltaic module inspection and cleaning are disclosed. When applied to a monitoring terminal, the method includes: in response to a first input operation of a user, obtaining basic navigation parameters; planning a flight path based on the basic navigation parameters; generating a set of field images, inputting the set of field images into a first identification model based on training, and obtaining photovoltaic module identification results and a set of binary images; inputting the set of binary images into a second identification model based on training; in response to a second input operation of the user, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle inspection and cleaning module to clean the photovoltaic module; the invention obtains basic navigation parameters through the input operation of the user, generates a corresponding flight path and sends it to the unmanned aerial vehicle inspection and cleaning module, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle flies along the corresponding flight path; the monitoring terminal monitors the unmanned aerial vehicle inspection and cleaning module, obtains field image data, identifies photovoltaic modules and defects existing on the photovoltaic modules, and cleans the photovoltaic modules with stains through the cleaning mechanism carried on the unmanned aerial vehicle. In the above patent document, the field image data is obtained through the inspection of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the photovoltaic modules and the defects existing on the photovoltaic modules are identified. The same as the photovoltaic modules that have not yet been shipped, the detection is performed visually. Similarly, visual detection sometimes cannot find subtle defects. In addition, the inspection of the unmanned aerial vehicle requires pre-planning of the path, and the program is relatively complicated, so the photovoltaic module cannot be detected in a timely manner.

Figure 1 Figure 19 The specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. It should be noted that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0055] Example one:

[0056] The present embodiment provides a photovoltaic module defect detection method, comprising the following steps:

[0057] S1: Place or install the photovoltaic module into the photovoltaic module installation slot 1; the size of the photovoltaic module installation slot 1 is matched with the size of the photovoltaic module; the number of the photovoltaic module installation slot 1 is not specifically limited, and is set according to the specific circumstances; specifically, when the photovoltaic module is not out of the factory, it can be directly placed into the photovoltaic module installation slot 1 by a mechanical arm or the like for detection, and after the detection is completed, it is removed by a mechanical arm or the like; when the photovoltaic module is used after it is out of the factory, it is fixed in the photovoltaic installation slot 1 by screws, mounting structures, etc., and works;

[0058] ​S2: the image detection device one collects images of the photovoltaic module, transmits the collected images to the control end, the control end is a PLC controller or the like of the peripheral device, the control end processes the images collected by the image detection device one, judges whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, jumps to S3, otherwise jumps to S4, and further detects by the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly; the image detection device one detects each group of photovoltaic modules respectively, the image detection device one includes 3n camera 2, n≥1, and n is an integer; each photovoltaic module needs to be detected by 3n camera 2, if multiple groups of photovoltaic modules need to be collected at the same time, the number of camera 2 needs to be set according to the actual situation, for example, if two groups of photovoltaic modules need to be detected at the same time, 3 camera 2 are needed for each group of photovoltaic modules, and 6 camera 2 are needed to be set at the same time; it should be noted that the camera 2 in the present application can be universal, for example, the first, second and third camera 2 are not only used to collect the images of the first group of photovoltaic modules, but also the first, third and fifth camera 2 can be used to collect the images of the second group of photovoltaic modules, so that 3n camera 2 can collect images of each group of photovoltaic modules;

[0059] The camera 2 collects images of the photovoltaic module; specifically: the S2 specifically photographs the photovoltaic module by the camera 2, the camera 2 transmits the photographed images to the control end, the control end processes the images collected by each camera 1, judges whether the photovoltaic module has defects, and jumps to S4 when there is no defect; when the photovoltaic module has a defect position, the defect position is re-measured by using one of the cameras 2 that does not detect the defect position to re-measure, the camera 2 that does not detect the defect position photographs the defect position, and the collected image of the defect position is analyzed by the control end to analyze whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, jumps to S3, otherwise, the second camera 2 that does not detect the defect position is used to re-measure, the second camera 2 that does not detect the defect position photographs the defect position, and the collected image of the defect position is analyzed by the control end to analyze whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, jumps to S3, otherwise, jumps to S4;

[0060] In this step, one defect position may be detected, or multiple defect positions may be detected, for example, three camera 2, one defect position, two defect positions are detected respectively, and are described as follows:

[0061] When a defect position is detected: three cameras 2 shoot the photovoltaic module, the three cameras 2 transmit the images to the control end, the control end processes the images collected by the three cameras 2 to determine whether the photovoltaic module has defects, and if not, jumps to S4; when the photovoltaic module has a defect position, the image of the defect position is collected by the first camera 2, and the other two cameras 2 do not collect the image of the position, the defect position is retested, the second camera 2 is used to shoot the defect position, and the image of the defect position collected is analyzed by the control end to determine whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, jump to S3, otherwise, the third camera 2 is used to shoot the defect position, and the image of the defect position collected is analyzed by the control end to determine whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, jump to S3, otherwise, jump to S4;

[0062] Two defect positions: when the photovoltaic module has two defect positions, the images of the defect position one and the defect position two are collected by the first camera 2 and the second camera 2 respectively, and the third camera 2 does not collect the images of the defect position one and the defect position two, the retest of the defect position one can be retested by the second camera 2 and the third camera 2, and the retest of the defect position two can be retested by the first camera 2 and the third camera 2, which will not be described in detail here; in addition, the same defect position can also be collected by two cameras 2 or three cameras 2 at the same time, in this case, the result of the second camera 2 retest is that the photovoltaic module has a problem, and directly jumps to S3;

[0063] S3: the image detection device two collects images of the position with defects, transmits the detected images to the control end, the control end processes the images collected by the image detection device two, judges whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, sends to the user end, prompts the staff that the photovoltaic module has problems, and then makes the staff repair, replace and the like the photovoltaic module with problems in time, guarantees the power generation efficiency, improves the stability of the system and the like; otherwise, jumps to S5, and further detects through the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly; the image detection device two includes 2n camera twos 3, n≥1, the camera two 3 collects images of the photovoltaic module; S3 is specifically as follows: the camera two 3 collects images of the position with defects in S2, transmits the detected images to the control end, the control end processes the images collected by the camera two 3, judges whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, sends to the user end, prompts the staff that the photovoltaic module has problems; otherwise, the camera two 3 not collecting images of the position with defects is used to retest the position with defects, the camera two 3 not collecting images of the position with defects is used to take pictures of the position with defects, the images of the position with defects collected are analyzed by the control end to determine whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, sends to the user end, prompts the staff that the photovoltaic module has problems, otherwise, jumps to S5.

[0064] The control end processes the images collected by the image detection device one and the image detection device two, and the specific steps of judging whether the photovoltaic module has defects are as follows:

[0065] The images collected by the image detection device one and the image detection device two are preprocessed, including grayscale processing and filter denoising, and the specific steps are as follows: the collected images are converted into grayscale images, because the grayscale information can provide sufficient features for the detection of the defects of the photovoltaic module, and the calculation amount of the grayscale image is smaller than that of the color image, and the speed is faster; filter denoising is mainly used to remove various noise interference that the photovoltaic module image may suffer in the collection process, such as salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise, and the filter technology can effectively remove these noises and improve the image quality, in the embodiment, mean filter or median filter and the like can be used for processing, wherein the mean filter replaces the value of the center pixel with the average value of the pixels in the neighborhood, and has a certain effect on removing Gaussian noise; the median filter sorts the grayscale values of the pixels in the neighborhood, and takes the middle value as the value of the center pixel, and has a good effect on removing salt and pepper noise.

[0066] Feature extraction is performed on the preprocessed image, including edge detection, texture feature extraction, shape feature extraction. Specifically, many defects of the photovoltaic module, such as cracks, breakage, etc. will be shown as changes in the edges on the image. Common edge detection operators include Sobel operator, Canny operator, etc. Sobel operator detects edges by calculating the gray level change gradient in the horizontal and vertical directions of the image. It respectively performs convolution operation on the horizontal and vertical directions of the image to obtain the gradient values in the horizontal and vertical directions, and then calculates the edge strength and direction by formula. The formula is a conventional prior art, and the applicant does not make specific elaboration here. Canny operator can obtain more accurate and continuous edge information through multiple steps such as Gaussian filtering, gradient amplitude and direction calculation, non-maximum suppression, double threshold detection, etc. The texture on the surface of the photovoltaic module will be different under the condition of having defects and not having defects. The embodiment can adopt methods such as gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) to extract texture features. GLCM obtains multiple texture feature parameters such as contrast, correlation, energy, entropy by statistics the frequency of different gray value pixel pairs in the photovoltaic image in a certain direction and distance, which can be used to describe the texture state of the surface of the photovoltaic module and help to judge whether there is a defect. For some defects with obvious shape features, such as missing corners of the cell sheet, black spots, etc., the shape features can be extracted for judgment. For example, by calculating the area, perimeter, circularity (4π×area / perimeter2), rectangularity (the ratio of the area of the defect region to the area of the minimum circumscribed rectangle) and other shape parameters of the defect region, and comparing with the shape parameter range under normal conditions, whether there is a defect can be determined.

[0067] The image after feature extraction is segmented. According to the gray value distribution characteristics of the image, one or more threshold values are set to divide the image into different regions. For a photovoltaic module image, if the gray value of the defect region is significantly lower or higher than that of the normal region, a suitable threshold value can be set to determine the region with a gray value lower than the threshold value as a possible defect region and the region with a gray value higher than the threshold value as a normal region. The threshold value is set in real time according to the differences in materials, surface state, light intensity, shooting angle, image processing purpose, etc. For example, assuming that the image gray value range is 0-255, the threshold value for monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels is initially set between 120 and 150 when distinguishing between normal regions and possible defect regions such as stains and minor scratches, because the gray value of the normal region is relatively high and concentrated, while the gray value of the defect region is slightly lower. In actual application, the threshold value can be further adjusted according to the specific image conditions. For polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels, the gray value distribution is more dispersed, so a more detailed threshold value needs to be tried, such as selecting a threshold value in the range of 80-120 for segmentation, observing the segmentation effect, and then fine-tuning according to the actual situation. When a new photovoltaic panel is simply segmented into a normal region and an edge region (such as an edge structure with a mounting frame), if the gray value of the edge region is relatively low, the threshold value can be set to about 180-200 to segment the image into a central normal region and an edge region. For photovoltaic panels with more dust coverage, the gray value of the dust-covered region is usually low, so the threshold value can be set between 100 and 130 to separate the dust-covered region from the relatively clean normal region, but subsequent optimization is still needed according to the actual segmentation effect. If the image is collected in a strong light environment, in order to segment the possible shadow region (such as the shaded part) and the normally illuminated region, the threshold value may need to be set to a higher value, such as 200-220, because the gray value of the shadow region is significantly lower than that of the normally illuminated region. For images collected in a weak light environment, if different reflection characteristics need to be distinguished (such as the cell region and the connecting line region), the threshold value may need to be set to a lower value, such as between 60 and 80, and then adjusted according to the actual segmentation effect. To distinguish between the cell and the busbar, the gray value of the cell region may be relatively high, and the gray value of the busbar may be relatively low. The threshold value can be initially set between 130 and 160 to segment the image into different regions, and then the actual component shape, position, and other characteristics can be used to further confirm whether the target component is accurately segmented. For region segmentation, the commonly used segmentation method in the prior art, such as region growing, is used. It starts from one or more seed points in the image and continuously merges adjacent pixels into the same region according to certain similarity criteria (such as gray similarity, texture similarity, etc.), until the stop condition is met. By this method, the photovoltaic module image can be segmented into different regions, which is convenient for subsequent identification and analysis of defect regions.

[0068] After the image segmentation is completed, classification and recognition are performed, mainly using a method based on machine learning or a method based on deep learning to classify and recognize the image after the segmentation is completed, to confirm whether the detection area of the photovoltaic module has defects; the method based on machine learning uses a support vector machine (SVM) or an artificial neural network (ANN), the principle of the support vector machine (SVM) is to take the extracted image features as an input vector, train the SVM model so that it can distinguish between normal photovoltaic module images and images with different types of defects, and the SVM can separate different categories of data as much as possible by finding an optimal hyperplane, and has good performance when processing small samples and high-dimensional data; the artificial neural network (ANN) includes a multi-layer perceptron and the like, by constructing a neural network with an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer, the image features are input into the network, and through the training process of forward propagation and back propagation, the weights of the network are constantly adjusted, so that the network can accurately classify the photovoltaic module image and judge whether there is a defect and the type of the defect; the method based on deep learning uses a convolutional neural network (CNN), the CNN is the most widely used deep learning model in the field of image detection, the CNN has structures such as a convolutional layer, a pooling layer and a fully connected layer, the convolutional layer performs convolution operation by sliding the convolution kernel on the image to automatically extract local features of the image; the pooling layer is used to reduce the data dimension and reduce the amount of calculation while retaining important features; the fully connected layer comprehensively judges the extracted features and outputs the final classification result; for example, a commonly used CNN model such as ResNet, VogNet and the like can be trained on a large number of photovoltaic module image data sets, so as to accurately identify various defect types of the photovoltaic module; through the above series of image processing techniques, the control end can effectively process the photovoltaic module images collected by the image detection device one and the image detection device two, so as to accurately judge whether the photovoltaic module has defects and what kind of defects exist.

[0069] The embodiment provides a specific application example.

[0070] The image detection device one and the image detection device two are used to collect images of a standard size (1.65 m x 0.99 m) polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic module, and the collection resolution is set to correspond to 2 pixel points per millimeter, so that the pixel size of the entire photovoltaic module image is about (1.65 x 1000 x 2) x (0.99 x 1000 x 2) = 3300 x 1980 pixels.

[0071] The above images collected by the image detection device one and the image detection device two are preprocessed: the values of the RGB three channels of the collected color image are calculated according to certain weights to obtain gray values, and are converted into a gray image, the gray scale is converted by using a weighted average method, and the formula is Gray = 0.299 * R + 0.587 * G + 0.114 * B. After the gray scale processing, the image becomes a single-channel gray image, and the gray value of each pixel ranges between 0 and 255; when the collected image has a certain degree of Gaussian noise, mean filtering is used for denoising, a 3*3 neighborhood window is selected for mean filtering, that is, for each pixel in the image, the average value of the gray values of the surrounding 3*3 pixels is calculated, and the average value is assigned to the current pixel as the gray value after denoising;

[0072] The preprocessed image is feature extracted: the Sobel operator is used for edge detection, and first, the horizontal direction gradient G x and the vertical direction gradient G y are calculated. Taking the pixel point with coordinates (100, 100) in the image as an example (here, only the calculation process is illustrated, and the entire image will be traversed in practice): for the horizontal direction gradient G x , a common 3*3 horizontal template is used for convolution operation with the image, and it is assumed that the gray values of the pixels around the pixel point are as follows: the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (99, 99) is 50; the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (100, 99) is 55; the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (101, 99) is 60; the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (99, 100) is 52; the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (100, 100) is 58; the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (101, 100) is 62; the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (99, 101) is 54; the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (100, 101) is 60; and the gray value of the pixel at the coordinates (101, 101) is 65. According to the horizontal direction gradient calculation formula: G x (100, 100) = 50 * (-1) + 55 * 0 + 60 * 1 + 52 * (-2) + 58 * 0 + 62 * 2 + 54 * (-1) + 60 * 0 + 65 * 1 = 41, the horizontal direction gradient value of the pixel point (100, 100) is 41, which reflects the gray scale change degree of the pixel point in the horizontal direction. By performing the above calculation on each pixel point in the image, the gray scale change gradient of the entire image in the horizontal direction can be obtained, and then the information is used for edge detection and subsequent image processing operations.

[0073] Similarly, for the vertical direction gradient G y , a vertical template is used for convolution operation, and the vertical direction gradient calculation formula is G y(100, 100) = 50 * (-1) + 55 * (-2) + 60 * (-1) + 52 * 0 + 58 * 0 + 62 * 0 + 54 * 1 + 60 * 2 + 65 * 1 = 19, the vertical gradient value of the pixel point (100, 100) is 19, which reflects the degree of gray scale change of the pixel point in the vertical direction. By calculating each pixel point in the image in the above manner, the gray scale change gradient of the entire image in the vertical direction can be obtained, and then the information is used for edge detection and subsequent image processing operations.

[0074] Then according to the edge intensity formula, The edge intensity of the pixel point is calculated According to the results, the edge intensity of the pixel point with coordinates (100, 100) is about 45.19. The edge direction θ(x, y) of the pixel point (100, 100) is calculated according to the edge direction formula. The pixel point (100, 100) is brought into the formula, The edge intensity and direction calculated above are the edge detection results of the pixel point. By traversing the entire image, the edge information of all pixel points can be obtained, and then the edge situation of the photovoltaic module image, such as the edge of the cell piece and the edge of the module frame, can be detected.

[0075] The gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is used to extract texture features. The distance d = 2 and the direction θ = 0° (horizontal direction) are selected to construct the GLCM. After gray scale processing, the image gray level L = 256, then the constructed GLCM is a 256x256 square matrix. By traversing the image, the frequency of different gray value pixel pairs under the specified distance and direction is counted, and then the GLCM matrix is obtained. Then the following texture feature parameters are extracted from the GLCM matrix:

[0076] (1) Contrast: the calculation formula is Contrast = ∑∑(i-j)^2*P(i, j). After calculation, the Contrast of the present application is 35.6; which means that there is a certain change in the texture of the surface of the photovoltaic module, such as local unevenness or small defects leading to texture change.

[0077] In the 256x256 square matrix, i and j are used to represent the row and column indexes in the matrix, which correspond to different gray values in the image; p(i, j) represents the frequency of the pixel pair with gray value i and j under the specified distance (d = 2) and direction (θ = 0°, horizontal direction) in the process of traversing the image.

[0078] (2) Correlation: the calculation formula is Correlation =∑∑[(i-μ i )(j-μ j )*P(i, j)] / (σ i *σ j ), and the calculation result is Correlation = 0.62, which indicates that there is a certain linear relationship between different gray value pixels, and can be used for further analysis of the uniformity and regularity of the surface texture of the photovoltaic module; wherein μ i represents the average gray value of all pixels with the gray value i; similarly, μ j represents the average gray value of all pixels with the gray value j; (i-μ i ) represents the deviation of the gray value of the pixel with the gray value i from the average gray value thereof; (j-μ j ) represents the deviation of the gray value of the pixel with the gray value j from the average gray value thereof; in the formula for calculating the correlation, the degree of linear relationship between different gray value pixels can be measured by calculating (i-μ i )(j-μ j )×P(i, j) and accumulating for all possible i and j combinations; if the accumulation value is large, the correlation value obtained after dividing by (σ i *σ j )(the product of the standard deviations of the pixels with the gray values i and j, respectively) will be close to 1, indicating that the different gray value pixels are highly correlated; if the accumulation value is small, the correlation value obtained will be close to -1, indicating that the different gray value pixels are highly anti-correlated; if the accumulation value is close to 0, there is no correlation; therefore, when analyzing the texture features of an image through a gray co-occurrence matrix, the deviation product of different gray value pixels based on their respective average gray values is an important component for measuring the degree of linear relationship between different gray value pixels in the image.

[0079] (3) Energy: the calculation formula is Energy =∑∑P(i, j)^2, and the result is Energy = 0.28; the energy value reflects the uniformity of the image texture; the photovoltaic module itself has a certain complexity of the image, and the surface thereof can have different structures such as cell pieces and bus bars, and the texture can also present various changes due to factors such as light and materials, and at this time, the normal range of the energy value can be relatively wide; in this embodiment, the energy value is between 0.3 and 0.6, which is a normal case, and the energy value of 0.28 is at a slightly low level, and there can be some factors affecting the uniformity of the texture, such as defects; further analysis is required in combination with other texture feature parameters and actual image appearance.

[0080] (4) Entropy: the calculation formula is Entropy = -∑∑P(i, j) * log(P(i, j)), and the calculation result is Entropy = 1.25. In the embodiment, the entropy value is in the normal range of 0.8-1.5. When the entropy value is greater than 1.5, it indicates that the image texture is more random, which means that there may be some irregularities, such as local defects that cause irregular textures, and further analysis is needed in combination with other texture feature parameters and actual image appearance.

[0081] The image after feature extraction is segmented. According to the gray value distribution characteristics of the image, it is found that the gray value of the normal area is relatively high, and the gray value of the area that may have defects (such as local shadows, slight scratches, etc.) is relatively low. After many experiments, the threshold value is set to 120 in the embodiment. The area with a gray value lower than 120 is determined as a possible defect area, and the area with a gray value higher than 120 is determined as a normal area. In this way, the photovoltaic module image is preliminarily segmented into a possible defect area and a normal area.

[0082] After image segmentation, classification and recognition are performed. In the embodiment, a simple convolutional neural network (CNN) model is constructed, which includes a convolutional layer, a pooling layer and a fully connected layer. The convolutional layer uses a 3x3 convolutional kernel with a step size of 1, and the pooling layer uses a 2x2 maximum pooling method. The image data after the above feature extraction and image segmentation is input into the CNN model as input. The CNN model is trained in advance on a large number of photovoltaic module image data sets (including normal images and images with various defects). During the training process, the weights of the model are constantly adjusted so that the model can accurately classify the input images. For example, the trained CNN model classifies the current collected and processed photovoltaic module image, and the output result shows that the image has a slight scratch defect, and the accuracy is more than 90%.

[0083] The above embodiment clearly shows how the control end uses common image processing techniques to process photovoltaic module images and ultimately determines whether the photovoltaic module has defects and the type of defects.

[0084] S4: start the magnetic field generator 5, collect data of the photovoltaic module through the superconducting quantum interference sensor assembly, and transmit the collected data to the control end. The control end determines whether the photovoltaic module has defects. If yes, jump to S6; otherwise, end the detection, remove the photovoltaic module, or end the detection and wait for the next detection period. Specifically, the workpiece before leaving the factory is detected. After the detection is completed, the photovoltaic module is removed for subsequent packaging and other links. After the photovoltaic module in use after leaving the factory is detected, the next detection period is waited for. The detection period is set according to specific conditions, such as 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, etc. The detection of the photovoltaic module is completed in a fixed period according to specific requirements.

[0085] The superconducting quantum interference sensor assembly one includes 2n superconducting quantum interference sensors one 4, n≥1, which analyze the magnetic field data of the photovoltaic module and the electrical performance data of the photovoltaic module. S4 specifically starts the magnetic field generator 5, collects the magnetic field data of the photovoltaic module and the electrical performance data of the photovoltaic module through the superconducting quantum interference sensor one 4, and transmits the collected data to the control end. The control end determines whether the photovoltaic module has defects. If not, end the detection, remove the photovoltaic module, or end the detection and wait for the next detection period. If there is a defect position, the defect position is re-measured. The re-measurement uses the superconducting quantum interference sensor one 4 that does not detect the defect position to re-measure. The superconducting quantum interference sensor one 4 that does not detect the defect position collects data of the defect position. The collected image of the defect position is analyzed by the control end to determine whether the photovoltaic module has defects. If yes, jump to S6; otherwise, end the detection, remove the photovoltaic module, or end the detection and wait for the next detection period.

[0086] S5: start the magnetic field generator 5, collect data of the photovoltaic module through the superconducting quantum interference sensor assembly one 4, and transmit the collected data to the control end. The control end determines whether the photovoltaic module has defects. If yes, send to the user end to prompt the staff that the photovoltaic module has problems; otherwise, end the detection, remove the photovoltaic module, or end the detection and wait for the next detection period. In this step, the superconducting quantum interference sensor assembly one 4 is detected once without re-measurement.

[0087] In this embodiment, the magnetic field is applied in two situations for the photovoltaic module, specifically:

[0088] Metal electrode: The metal electrode is one of the main transmission channels of current in the photovoltaic module. By applying a suitable magnetic field, the metal electrode can produce a detectable electromagnetic response, thereby detecting whether there is a defect or connection problem; the magnetic field strength is set between 0.1 Tesla and 0.5 Tesla, and a relatively weak magnetic field strength can usually produce sufficient induced current in the metal electrode, facilitating the detection of the superconducting quantum interference sensor; the magnetic field direction is perpendicular to the plane of the metal electrode, so that the magnetic field and the current direction are perpendicular to each other, according to the law of electromagnetic induction, the induced electromotive force and induced current can be generated to the greatest extent, enhancing the strength and stability of the detection signal; the magnetic field frequency is in the range of 10 Hz to 100 Hz, under this frequency band, the inductance and resistance characteristics of the metal electrode have a relatively stable effect on the induced current, and the electromagnetic signal generated is easy to analyze and process, while it can also effectively avoid the interference of complex factors such as skin effect that may be caused by high-frequency magnetic field.

[0089] Semiconductor material: The semiconductor is the core part of the photovoltaic effect, and its electrical properties are significantly affected by the magnetic field. By configuring a specific magnetic field, changes in carrier motion and concentration distribution in the semiconductor can be detected, and defects in the semiconductor material itself and contact defects with the metal electrode can be detected; the magnetic field strength is set between 0.5 Tesla and 1 Tesla, because the electrical conductivity of the semiconductor is weak, only under the action of a relatively strong magnetic field, the motion trajectory of the carrier can be changed significantly, thereby generating a magnetic field change signal that can be detected by the superconducting quantum interference sensor; the direction of the magnetic field, for common semiconductor materials such as silicon and germanium, applying a magnetic field along the main crystal axis direction of the crystal can more effectively affect the migration and diffusion of carriers, and the changes in electrical properties caused by defects can exhibit more obvious differences in the magnetic field; this embodiment takes silicon semiconductor material as an example, when detecting the P-N junction region of the silicon-based photovoltaic module, a magnetic field is applied along the normal direction of the P-N junction plane, which can highlight the changes in the processes of carrier recombination and diffusion near the junction region affected by the magnetic field, and is helpful for detecting defects in the junction region; the magnetic field frequency is in the range of 100 Hz to 500 Hz, a high-frequency magnetic field can change the motion state of the carriers in the semiconductor more frequently, so that the changes in the processes of carrier scattering and recombination caused by defects can be more quickly reflected in the magnetic field, thereby improving the sensitivity and real-time performance of the detection, and at the same time, a suitable high-frequency magnetic field can also reduce the influence of the internal capacitance effect of the semiconductor material on the detection signal.

[0090] The magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator 5 will cause an induced current in the photovoltaic module. If the photovoltaic module has defects such as open circuit, short circuit or poor contact, the distribution and intensity of the induced current will be abnormal. By detecting the change of the induced current through the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly 4, it can be inferred whether the photovoltaic module has defects; for example, if the induced current in a certain area is significantly lower than the normal level, it may indicate that there is an open circuit defect in that area; in addition, defects may cause changes in the internal resistance of the photovoltaic module, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator 5 interacts with the current, thereby indirectly reflecting the change of the resistance, if the resistance abnormally increases or decreases, it implies that there may be defects; for example, due to corrosion or damage, the local resistance increases; in addition, a normal photovoltaic module will exhibit a specific magnetic field distribution pattern under the action of a magnetic field. When the module has defects, such as internal structure damage or impurities, it will interfere with the distribution of the magnetic field. By detecting and analyzing the difference in the distribution of the magnetic field, the location and type of the defect can be identified; for example, if the magnetic field distribution in a certain area appears significantly distorted or uneven, it may mean that there is a defect in that area.

[0091] S6: The superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly two collects data of the photovoltaic module and transmits the collected data to the control end. The control end judges whether the photovoltaic module has defects. If yes, it is sent to the user end to prompt the staff that the photovoltaic module has problems; otherwise, the detection is ended and the photovoltaic module is removed, waiting for the next detection period; more preferably, in this step, after three detection periods, the data collected by the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly two and the control end all judge that the photovoltaic module has no defects, and the data collected by the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly one and the control end all judge that the photovoltaic module has defects, then the control end sends a prompt to prompt the staff to detect the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly one and the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly two, judge whether the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly one and / or the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly two has problems, adjust the hardware equipment in time, and thus better detect the photovoltaic module; more preferably, the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly two includes a plurality of superconducting quantum interference sensors two 6, which can simultaneously detect a plurality of positions of the photovoltaic module, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0092] The specific working principle of the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly one and the superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly two (for convenience, the following is simplified as superconducting quantum interference sensing assembly) detecting the subtle defects of the photovoltaic module is as follows:

[0093] Firstly, based on Josephson effect: the core of the superconducting quantum interference sensing component is a superconducting coil containing a Josephson junction, which is composed of two superconductors sandwiching a thin insulating layer. When a direct current voltage is applied across the junction, a high-frequency superconducting sinusoidal current is generated, which is proportional to the applied direct current voltage, i.e. AC Josephson effect occurs. At the same time, Cooper pairs can form a superconducting current through the insulating layer by tunneling effect, and the superconducting current is related to the phase difference, which is modulated by the magnetic field. Based on magnetic flux quantization: in a small superconducting ring, the current is quantized, and the magnetic flux must also be quantized, with a quantum unit of magnetic flux Wb. When external magnetic flux passes through the superconducting ring, a circulating current is generated in the superconducting ring to produce a magnetic flux opposite to the change of the external magnetic flux, so as to maintain the quantization of the magnetic flux. The change of the number of quanta is a symbol of the change of the external magnetic flux, and is in units of.

[0094] Secondly, the detection principle is mainly based on magnetic field generation and change, magnetic flux coupling and detection, signal conversion and detection. The specific principle is as follows: when the photovoltaic module is detected, a magnetic field generator will generate a magnetic field around the photovoltaic module. Due to the different electromagnetic responses of the metal electrodes and semiconductor materials in the photovoltaic module in the magnetic field, the magnetic field around the photovoltaic module changes. The superconducting coil in the superconducting quantum interference sensing component interacts with the changing magnetic field around the photovoltaic module. The magnetic flux is coupled into the superconducting ring through the low-resistance receiving coil, so that the magnetic flux in the superconducting ring changes. Since the superconducting quantum interference device is extremely sensitive to the change of the magnetic flux, even a very small change in the magnetic flux can cause a change in the current and voltage in the superconducting ring. The change of current and voltage in the superconducting ring will be further amplified and converted into measurable electrical signals through the action of the Josephson junction. These electrical signals are closely related to the magnetic field changes caused by defects in the photovoltaic module. Through accurate measurement and analysis of these electrical signals, the subtle defects in the photovoltaic module, such as cracks in the metal electrodes, lattice defects in the semiconductor materials, and poor contact between different materials, can be inferred. Because these defects will change the local current distribution and magnetic field distribution, which will be detected by the superconducting quantum interference sensing component.

[0095] It should be noted that after the photovoltaic module is shipped, the method needs to consider the waterproof and drying problems of all electrical equipment, which belongs to the commonly used technical means. The present application does not make specific description here, and the skilled person can set it according to the specific situation.

[0096] Example two:

[0097] In this embodiment, the angle of the photovoltaic module can be adjusted, which is convenient for image acquisition and can also ensure that the photovoltaic module shipped for use can adjust the angle of the photovoltaic module according to the light, so that the photovoltaic panel can always maintain the best included angle with the sunlight, thereby maximizing the absorption of solar energy and significantly improving the power generation efficiency.

[0098] Specifically: in the S2, first start the lifting support leg 7, adjust the angle of the photovoltaic module, after adjusting to the appropriate angle, the image detection device one takes a picture of the photovoltaic module, transmits the photographed image to the control end, the control end processes the image collected by the image detection device one, judges whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, jump to S3, otherwise jump to S4.

[0099] More preferably, in order to ensure that the distribution of the magnetic field on the photovoltaic module is relatively uniform, the influence on each part of the photovoltaic module is more consistent, in the S4, first adjust the angle of all photovoltaic modules to the same angle, then adjust the angle of the magnetic field generator 5 to be the same as the angle of the photovoltaic module, that is, ensure that the magnetic field generator 5 is parallel to the edge of the photovoltaic module; start the magnetic field generator 5, detect whether the photovoltaic module produces magnetic field change under the action of the magnetic field through the superconducting quantum interference sensor assembly one 4, and transmit the collected data to the control end, the control end judges whether the photovoltaic module has defects, yes, send to the user end, prompt the staff that the photovoltaic module has problems; otherwise jump to S5.
