This process realizes the effective extraction and processing of image features by converting image features into numerical vectors and performing dimensionality reduction processing on them, providing strong support for further data analysis and decision-making.
[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for determining the cleaning frequency of a photovoltaic panel is provided, wherein a dust accumulation level change line graph is constructed based on the dust accumulation level value of each surface image, and data change characteristics are determined from the dust accumulation level change line graph, including: obtaining the dust accumulation level value of each surface image, and constructing a time-sequential dust accumulation level change line graph based on the dust accumulation level value of each surface image; determining the line segments contained in the dust accumulation level change line graph, and calculating the change amount of each line segment; eliminating the line segments whose change amount is less than a preset value, and calculating the slope of each remaining line segment, and determining the slope and change amount of each remaining line segment as the data change characteristics.
[0030] Specifically, for each surface image, the dust accumulation value is calculated by the method described above, and these values reflect the degree of dust in the image; according to the dust accumulation value of each surface image, a dust accumulation change line graph is constructed in chronological order, wherein the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the dust accumulation value; in the dust accumulation change line graph, different line segments are determined, and each line segment represents the dust accumulation trend over a period of time; for each line segment, its change amount is calculated, that is, the difference between the dust accumulation values at both ends of the line segment, reflecting the dust accumulation change situation over the time period; the line segments with a change amount less than the preset value are eliminated, and the slopes of the remaining line segments are calculated, and the slopes reflect the rate of change of the dust accumulation, so as to conduct a more detailed analysis of the dust accumulation situation. This step can dynamically monitor the dust accumulation on the surface of the photovoltaic panel and detect the change trend in time by constructing a line graph of the dust accumulation level. By calculating the change amount and slope of the line segment, the change trend of the dust accumulation level can be analyzed more deeply to help predict future development trends. Eliminating the line segment with a change amount less than the preset value can help identify abnormal situations and improve the accuracy of the change in the dust accumulation level. Using the slope and change amount as data change features can help quantify the change in the dust accumulation level and provide a basis for subsequent data analysis and decision-making. This process combines time series data analysis and change trend identification technology to provide a more comprehensive solution for monitoring and analyzing the dust accumulation of photovoltaic equipment.
[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for determining the cleaning frequency of a photovoltaic panel is provided, wherein the data change characteristics are analyzed and calculated to determine the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient of the photovoltaic panel, including: obtaining the slope and variation of each remaining broken line segment, and calculating the average value of the slope of each remaining broken line segment and the average value of the variation; determining the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient of the photovoltaic panel based on the average value of the slope of each remaining broken line segment and the average value of the variation, and the calculation formula of the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient of the photovoltaic panel is: , Among them, F is the coefficient of change of dust accumulation degree, a is the slope conversion coefficient, Ki is the slope of each remaining broken line segment, b is the change conversion coefficient, Pi is the change of each remaining broken line segment, and n is the number of remaining broken line segments.
[0032] Specifically, the slope and variation of each remaining broken line segment are calculated to obtain the average value of the slope and the average value of the variation, which reflect the overall trend of the dust accumulation degree; based on the average value of the slope and the average value of the variation, the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient of the photovoltaic panel is determined. This step provides a comprehensive evaluation of the change in the dust accumulation degree by calculating the average value of the slope and the variation. The dust accumulation degree variation coefficient comprehensively considers the change rate and overall change of the dust accumulation degree of the photovoltaic panel, and provides a comprehensive evaluation of the change in the dust accumulation degree; the variation coefficient can help analyze the trend of the dust accumulation of the photovoltaic panel, understand whether the dust accumulation degree is gradually increasing or decreasing, and provide an important reference for maintenance and management; the average value of the slope and the variation is converted into a variation coefficient, and the change and rate of the dust accumulation degree are quantified, which is convenient for comparing and evaluating the dust accumulation in different time periods. By determining the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient of the photovoltaic panel, we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the dust accumulation of the photovoltaic panel, and make corresponding management and maintenance decisions based on these data, thereby improving the efficiency and performance of the photovoltaic system.
[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for determining the cleaning frequency of a photovoltaic panel is provided, wherein the cleaning frequency of the photovoltaic panel in the current cycle is determined based on the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient, comprising: presetting a cleaning frequency-dust accumulation degree variation coefficient interval correspondence relationship, and associating a corresponding cleaning frequency with each dust accumulation degree variation coefficient interval; obtaining the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient, and based on a mapping relationship between the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient interval to which the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient belongs and the corresponding relationship between the cleaning frequency-dust accumulation degree variation coefficient interval, selecting the cleaning frequency corresponding to the dust accumulation degree variation coefficient interval as the corresponding cleaning frequency of the photovoltaic panel.
[0034] Specifically, for different intervals of the coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation, the relationship between the cleaning frequency and the cleaning frequency is pre-set. For example, a lower coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation can be set to correspond to a lower cleaning frequency, while a higher coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation can be set to correspond to a higher cleaning frequency. According to the coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation calculated previously, the actual dust accumulation of the current photovoltaic panel is determined. According to the interval to which the actual coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation belongs, the corresponding cleaning frequency is found in the corresponding relationship between the cleaning frequency and the interval of the coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation. According to the mapping relationship, the cleaning frequency corresponding to the interval of the actual coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation is selected as the cleaning frequency of the photovoltaic panel, so that the most suitable cleaning frequency can be determined according to the actual degree of dust accumulation. This step can formulate a personalized cleaning frequency for each photovoltaic panel according to the actual coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation, avoiding unnecessary cleaning or delayed cleaning that leads to performance degradation. By dynamically adjusting the cleaning frequency, resources can be effectively utilized, cleaning costs can be reduced, and efficient operation of the photovoltaic system can be ensured. Establishing the corresponding relationship between the cleaning frequency and the coefficient of variation of the degree of dust accumulation can realize automated management, improve operation and maintenance efficiency, and reduce the need for manual intervention. Regular cleaning can maintain the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel, improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic system, and extend the life of the equipment, thereby achieving more stable and continuous power generation. By combining the cleaning frequency with the coefficient of variation of dust accumulation, the cleaning management strategy of the photovoltaic system can be effectively optimized to improve the performance and reliability of the system.
