[0003] In the prior art, the inverter of a photovoltaic power station has a weak ability to withstand lightning overvoltage, and generally requires additional overvoltage protection equipment. Overvoltage protection mainly uses three methods: SPD, gas discharge tube and transient voltage suppression diode. SPD, gas discharge tube and transient voltage suppression diode are used to reduce the instantaneous voltage in the power line when the photovoltaic power station is struck by lightning, so that the staff can adjust the equipment in time to reduce the situation where surges in the power line cause damage to the equipment.
[0004] When a photovoltaic power station is hit by a severe lightning strike, it is difficult for workers to detect the surge in the power line from the outside, resulting in the inability to adjust the equipment according to the surge in time, which in turn causes equipment damage.

[0157] Step 304: controlling a preset photographing device to acquire the image of the light bulb according to the image acquisition process.
[0158] When the metal halide lamps on the reference image overlap or are missing in number, the working status of all the metal halide lamps on the lightning protection device cannot be determined through the reference image. In this case, the position and direction of the shooting device are adjusted to obtain a complete image.
[0159] Reference Figure 6 , damage analysis methods include:
[0160] Step 400: When the lightning strike light difference exceeds a preset brightness error range, a detection stroke is matched from a preset detection stroke matching model according to the position of the light bulb.
[0161] The detection stroke matching model refers to a neural network model that has been trained with samples in advance. The detection stroke matching model can match the detection stroke that controls the shooting device to surround the metal halide lamp. The detection stroke matching model is common knowledge among people in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0162] Step 401: Control a preset shooting device to acquire a detection image set of the metal halide lamp in a circle according to the detection stroke.
[0163] The detection image set is a set of images formed by the camera capturing images at a fixed period when the camera surrounds the metal halide lamp according to the detection stroke.
[0164] Step 402: Determine whether the metal halide lamp is damaged from a preset bulb appearance detection model according to the detection image set.
[0165] The light bulb appearance detection model refers to a neural network model that has been trained with samples in advance. The light bulb appearance detection model can determine whether there are damage features on the metal halide lamp in the detection image set. Damage features include breakage, cracks, and black burnt marks. When damage features exist on the metal halide lamp, it is determined that the metal halide lamp is damaged. The light bulb appearance detection model is common knowledge among people in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0166] Step 403: When the metal halide lamp is damaged, the lamp damage parameters are matched from a preset lamp damage parameter matching model according to the device number.
[0167] The bulb damage parameter matching model refers to a neural network model that has been trained with samples in advance. The bulb damage parameter matching model can match the bulb damage parameters that notify the staff of the damage of the metal halide lamp through the warning device. The bulb damage parameter matching model is common knowledge among people in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0168] Step 404: Control a preset warning device to issue a bulb damage warning according to the bulb damage parameter.
[0169] When it is determined that the metal halide lamp is damaged, the staff is notified through the warning device, thereby facilitating the staff to perform maintenance in a timely manner.
[0170] Reference Figure 7 , damage analysis methods also include:
[0171] Step 405: When the metal halide lamp is not damaged, the lamp model is matched from a preset metal halide lamp database according to the detection image set.
[0172] The metal halide lamp database refers to a pre-set database that records the appearance of various models of metal halide lamps, and the lamp model is the model of the metal halide lamp matched from the metal halide lamp database by detecting the image set.
[0173] Step 406: Match the interference interval from the preset interference interval matching model according to the bulb model, and obtain the preset pressure value of the bottom of the lamp holder.
[0174] The lamp holder refers to the device used to install the metal halide lamp on the lightning protection device. The lamp head of the metal halide lamp is generally fixed with the lamp holder thread. The lamp holder is selected by the staff according to the actual situation and will not be described in detail here. The conflict interval matching model refers to a neural network model that has been trained with samples in advance. The conflict interval matching model can match the interval of the pressure value at the bottom of the lamp holder when the metal halide lamp of the bulb model is stably connected to the lamp holder, and define the interval as the conflict interval. The conflict interval matching model is common knowledge known to people in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0175] The pressure value refers to the pressure on the bottom of the groove on the lamp holder for installing the metal halide lamp. The pressure value can be obtained by a pressure sensor arranged at the bottom of the lamp holder groove. The method for obtaining the pressure value is selected by the staff according to the actual situation and will not be elaborated here.
[0176] Step 407: When the pressure value is lower than the conflict interval, the bulb loosening parameter is matched from a preset bulb loosening parameter matching model according to the device number.
[0177] The pressure value lower than the conflict interval indicates that the metal halide lamp and the lamp holder do not have sufficient conflict. At this time, the metal halide lamp is prone to poor contact with the lamp holder, resulting in the metal halide lamp not being able to work properly. The loose bulb parameter matching model refers to a neural network model trained with samples in advance. The loose bulb parameter matching model can match the loose bulb parameters that notify the staff of the loose metal halide lamp through the warning device. The loose bulb parameter matching model is common knowledge in the field and will not be described here.
[0178] Step 408: Control a preset warning device to issue a bulb loose warning according to the bulb loose parameter.
[0179] When it is determined that the metal halide lamp is loose, the staff is notified through the warning device, thereby facilitating the staff to perform maintenance in a timely manner.
[0180] Step 409: When the pressure value exceeds the conflict interval, the bulb over-tightening parameter is matched from a preset bulb over-tightening parameter matching model according to the device number.
[0181] The pressure value exceeding the conflict interval indicates that the metal halide lamp is too tight in the lamp holder. At this time, the metal halide lamp is prone to poor contact with the lamp holder, resulting in the metal halide lamp not being able to work properly. The bulb over-tightening parameter matching model refers to a neural network model trained with samples in advance. The bulb over-tightening parameter matching model can match the bulb over-tightening parameters that notify the staff of the metal halide lamp over-tightening through the warning device. The bulb over-tightening parameter matching model is common knowledge among people in this field and will not be described here.
[0182] Step 410: Control a preset warning device to issue a bulb over-tightening warning according to the bulb over-tightening parameter.
[0183] When it is determined that the metal halide lamp is over-tightened, the staff is notified through the warning device, thereby facilitating the staff to perform maintenance in a timely manner.
[0184] The cause of the failure of the lightning protection device can be determined in advance based on the pressure value, which makes it convenient for the staff to conduct targeted problem troubleshooting and further facilitates the maintenance of the lightning protection device.
[0185] Reference Figure 8 , damage analysis methods also include:
[0186] Step 411: When the pressure value is lower than the preset conflict interval, the bulb number is determined according to the bulb position.
[0187] The bulb number refers to the pre-set number used to distinguish the metal halide lamps on the lightning protection device. Each bulb number corresponds to a metal halide lamp one by one. The bulb position can be matched with the bulb number corresponding to the bulb position from the pre-set bulb number database. The method of setting the bulb number is selected by the staff according to the actual situation and will not be elaborated here.
[0188] Step 412: Retrieve the pressure parameter from a preset pressure parameter database according to the device number and the bulb number.
[0189] The pressure parameter database refers to a pre-set database that records the historical records of pressure values of different metal halide lamps on each lightning protection device. The pressure parameter is the historical record of pressure values corresponding to the metal halide lamp with the bulb number on the lightning protection device with the device number retrieved from the pressure parameter database.
[0190] Step 413: judging whether a pressure jump occurs in the preset pressure jump recognition model according to the pressure parameter.
[0191] The pressure jump recognition model refers to a neural network model that has been trained with samples in advance. The pressure jump recognition model can recognize whether there is a sudden jump in the pressure value to a lower level in the historical data of the pressure value. When no jump is detected, the data in the pressure parameter database is marked to reduce repeated detection during the next detection. The pressure jump recognition model is common knowledge among people in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0192] Step 414: When the pressure value jumps, the lamp holder cracking parameter is matched from a preset lamp holder cracking parameter matching model according to the device number.
[0193] A sudden jump in the pressure value to a low level indicates that the lamp holder may be cracked. When the lamp holder is cracked, the metal halide lamp that was originally stably installed may suddenly loosen, causing the pressure value to suddenly decrease. The lamp holder crack parameter matching model refers to a neural network model that has been trained with samples in advance. The lamp holder crack parameter matching model can match the lamp holder crack parameters that notify the staff of the lamp holder crack through the warning device. The lamp holder crack parameter matching model is common knowledge in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0194] Step 415: Control a preset warning device to issue a lamp holder crack warning according to the lamp holder crack parameter.
[0195] When it is determined that the lamp holder is cracked, the staff is notified through the warning device, thereby facilitating the staff to perform maintenance in a timely manner.
[0196] The changes in pressure values can be identified based on the historical records of pressure values, thereby detecting abnormal jumps, which makes it easier for staff to conduct targeted problem troubleshooting and facilitates the maintenance of lightning protection devices.
[0197] Damage analysis methods also include:
[0198] Step 416: When the pressure value jumps, the device position is determined according to the device number.
[0199] The device location refers to the location of the lightning protection device. The device location can be obtained from the location record table. The location record table refers to a data table that records the device locations corresponding to different device numbers.
[0200] Step 417: Determine the inspection path according to the device location.
[0201] A drone refers to a device used to detect the appearance of a lightning protection device. A drone is generally also equipped with a repair module for injecting repair materials to urgently repair the lightning protection device. The repair material refers to the insulating material used to fix and connect the lightning protection device. The drone and the repair material are selected by the staff according to the actual situation and will not be described in detail here. The inspection path refers to the route taken by the drone to detect the lightning protection device. The inspection path can be automatically generated according to the device location through the drone's supporting path generation program. The method of generating the inspection path is common knowledge among people in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0202] Step 418: Control the preset UAV to fly around the lightning protection device according to the inspection path and obtain the lamp holder image.
[0203] The lamp holder image refers to a set of images of the lamp holder obtained when the UAV flies around the lightning protection device. The method of obtaining the lamp holder image is selected by the staff according to the actual situation and will not be elaborated here.
[0204] Step 419: Determine the crack position according to the lamp holder image.
[0205] The crack position refers to the position of the crack on the lamp holder. The crack position can be determined by using image recognition technology. The method for determining the crack position is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.
[0206] Step 420: Determine the crack area based on the crack location.
[0207] The crack area refers to the area of the crack spreading on the lamp holder. The crack area can be obtained by identifying from the lamp holder image using image recognition technology. The method for determining the crack area is common knowledge in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0208] Step 421: Match the crack parameters of the lamp holder according to the device number, the crack position and the crack area.
[0209] When the lamp holder is cracked, the drone is used to inspect the appearance of the lamp holder, and the warning device is controlled by the lamp holder crack parameters to notify the staff of the location and area of the crack, so that the staff can quickly lock the faulty lightning protection device and promptly understand the damage condition of the lamp holder.
[0210] Damage analysis methods also include:
[0211] Step 422: When the crack area is lower than a preset repair threshold, determine the crack width based on the crack position.
[0212] The repair threshold refers to the maximum crack area that can be repaired by the drone. The repair threshold is selected by the staff according to the actual situation and will not be described in detail here. If the crack area is lower than the repair threshold, it means that the crack can be temporarily repaired by the drone. The crack width refers to the length of the widest part of the crack. The crack width can be obtained by image recognition technology. The method of identifying the crack width is common knowledge in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0213] Step 423: When the crack width is lower than a preset fixing threshold, determine the fixing position according to the lamp holder image.
[0214] The fixed threshold refers to the maximum crack width when the lamp holder is not subjected to external force. The fixed threshold is selected by the staff according to the actual situation and will not be described in detail here. The crack width below the fixed threshold means that the crack on the lamp holder is not opened by external force at this time. The fixed position refers to the position of the fixed connection crack. Generally, the end position of the crack is preferred, that is, the connection between the crack and the outside world. The fixed position can be obtained by image recognition technology. The identification method of the fixed position is common knowledge known to people in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0215] Step 424: Determine a repair path according to the fixed position.
[0216] The repair path refers to the route that the drone takes to inject the repair material into a fixed position. The repair path can be automatically generated according to the fixed position by the path generation program that comes with the drone. The method for generating the repair path is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated on here.
[0217] Step 425: Control the preset drone according to the repair path to spray the preset repair material to the fixed position.
[0218] When the crack on the lamp holder is small, the crack width is detected, so that when the crack width is small, the repair material can be injected into the lamp holder by the drone, thereby repairing the lamp holder and reducing the cracking of the lamp holder.
