[0069] The following is a description of the preferred embodiments of the application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0070] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiments of the application disclose a photovoltaic panel intelligent cleaning method for photovoltaic operation and maintenance, comprising:
[0071] S110: detecting the state of the photovoltaic panel in a preset time period, detecting the power generation, identifying the dirt distribution, thermal spot defects or physical damage, and recording the position of the abnormal area to obtain the detection result.
[0072] In this embodiment, the preset time period is set to a period with low and stable irradiance, such as early morning or overcast day, during which the surface temperature of the photovoltaic panel is uniform and low, which can greatly improve the recognition accuracy of the infrared thermal imager for hot spot defects and avoid the interference of high temperature background noise under strong light; at the same time, the soft diffuse light environment is conducive to the high-definition camera to obtain clear surface images without shadows and reflections, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the image recognition algorithm for analyzing the type, thickness and distribution of dirt; in addition, the power generation data of this period is least affected by sunshine fluctuations, which can provide the most reliable reference parameters for calculating the power generation efficiency reduction ratio.
[0073] In this embodiment, when detecting the power generation, identifying the dirt distribution, hot spot defects or physical damage, and recording the positions of abnormal areas, the following steps are further included:
[0074] identifying temperature abnormal areas on the surface of the photovoltaic panel using an infrared thermal imager to locate hot spot defects;
[0075] capturing images of the surface of the photovoltaic panel by a high-definition camera and analyzing the type, thickness and distribution of dirt using an image recognition algorithm;
[0076] real-time monitoring and recording the power generation efficiency data of the photovoltaic panel using an electrical performance testing device;
[0077] marking and storing the coordinate positions of the identified hot spots, dirt concentration areas or physical damage by a positioning module.
[0078] In this embodiment, the training process of the image recognition algorithm is as follows:
[0079] Data preparation: Use a high-definition camera to capture a large number of high-definition images of the surface of the photovoltaic panel under different seasons, different weather conditions and different light conditions. It is necessary to ensure that various types of dirt, different degrees of dirt thickness, hot spots and physical damage are covered.
[0080] Data cleaning: eliminate invalid images that are blurred, too dark, overexposed or have serious obstructions.
[0081] Feature extraction: label the dirt distribution, thickness and type.
[0082] Model construction: select a YOLO target detection model to realize fast positioning and classification of dirt.
[0083] Model training: divide the prepared data into training set, validation set and test set, and put the training set into the data model for training to improve the judgment accuracy of the model; use the validation set to monitor the training process to prevent overfitting, and adjust the learning rate, batch size and other hyperparameters to select the best model on the validation set; finally, test the test set to ensure the accuracy of the model before putting it into use.
[0084] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: by intelligently presetting the detection period to the morning or overcast day and the like, the irradiance is low and stable, which significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of state detection. Under this period, the uniform low-temperature surface of the photovoltaic panel enables the infrared thermal imager to clearly identify hot spot defects and avoid strong light interference; the soft diffuse light environment ensures that the high-definition camera obtains clear images without glare and shadow, providing ideal conditions for accurate analysis of dirt type, thickness and distribution based on deep learning image recognition algorithms; at the same time, stable power generation data provides a reliable benchmark for calculating efficiency reduction. Combined with multi-sensor fusion detection (infrared, visual, electrical performance) and precise positioning technology, the present scheme realizes comprehensive quantitative perception and accurate positioning of photovoltaic panel dirt, hot spots, damage and power generation performance, providing an efficient and accurate data basis for subsequent cleaning decisions, and fundamentally solving the pain points of traditional detection methods being greatly disturbed by the environment and not being accurate in recognition, greatly improving the intelligent level and decision-making scientificity of photovoltaic operation and maintenance.
[0085] S120: Establish a multi-parameter cleaning decision-making model, import the detection results into the decision-making model, and determine whether to start the cleaning system.
[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, before establishing a multi-parameter cleaning decision-making model, importing the detection results into the decision-making model, and determining whether to start the cleaning system, the method further comprises:
[0087] Establishing a multi-parameter cleaning decision-making model, and comprehensively judging based on three core parameters of power generation efficiency δ, dirt coverage rate α and hot spot area ratio β in the detection results;
[0088] Setting a first threshold condition: when the power generation efficiency δ is less than or equal to 95%, it is determined that cleaning is needed;
[0089] Setting a second threshold condition: when the dirt coverage rate α is greater than or equal to 15%, it is determined that cleaning is needed;
[0090] Setting a third threshold condition: when the hot spot area ratio β is greater than or equal to 2%, it is determined that cleaning is needed;
[0091] Comprehensively evaluating by using a weighted decision function F = w1 x (1- δ) + w2 x α + w3 x β, wherein the weight coefficients w1 = 0.5, w2 = 0.3, and w3 = 0.2;
[0092] When the weighted decision function F is greater than or equal to 4, the cleaning system is automatically started.
[0093] In the present embodiment, w1 = 0.5, w2 = 0.3, and w3 = 0.2 are preferred, and can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the determination of the power generation efficiency δ is as follows, comprising:
[0095] determining the power generation of each collection time period and the theoretical power generation;
[0096] randomly extracting a power generation, extracting all left and right power generations corresponding to the power generation, wherein when the power generation is randomly extracted, the power generation corresponding to the initial time and the power generation corresponding to the end time are not included;
[0097] calculating the first power generation average of all left power generations and the second power generation average of all right power generations;
[0098] calculating the corresponding power generation change coefficient according to the relationship among the power generation, the first power generation average and the second power generation average;
[0099] extracting all power generation change coefficients, and taking the average of all power generation change coefficients as the power generation efficiency δ, and setting the cleaning strategy of the photovoltaic panel based on the power generation efficiency δ;
[0100] calculating the power generation change coefficient according to the following formula:
[0101]
[0102] wherein n is the power generation change coefficient, m is the power generation, the minimum of the first power generation average and the second power generation average is taken as m2, and the maximum of the first power generation average and the second power generation average is taken as m1.
[0103] In the present embodiment, the values of m1 and m2 adopt a dynamic reference strategy: m1 takes the larger one of the left average and the right average, representing the upper limit of the normal power generation level expected to be reached in the surrounding; m2 takes the smaller one of the two, representing the lower limit of the expected power generation level in the surrounding.
[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, setting the cleaning strategy of the photovoltaic panel based on the power generation efficiency δ, comprising:
[0105] pre-setting a first preset power generation efficiency and a second preset power generation efficiency;
[0106] pre-setting a first preset optimization value, a second preset optimization value and a third preset optimization value;
[0107] when the power generation efficiency is greater than the first preset power generation efficiency, then the first preset optimization value and the first product value of the cleaning flow and the cleaning pressure are calculated respectively, to obtain the optimized cleaning flow and the optimized cleaning pressure as the cleaning strategy of the photovoltaic panel;
[0108] When the power generation efficiency is less than or equal to the first preset power generation efficiency and greater than the second preset power generation efficiency, the second preset optimization value and the second product value of the cleaning flow and the cleaning pressure are calculated respectively to obtain the optimized cleaning flow and the optimized cleaning pressure as the cleaning strategy of the photovoltaic panel.
[0109] When the power generation efficiency is less than or equal to the second preset power generation efficiency, the third preset optimization value and the third product value of the cleaning flow and the cleaning pressure are calculated respectively to obtain the optimized cleaning flow and the optimized cleaning pressure as the cleaning strategy of the photovoltaic panel.
[0110] In the embodiment, the first preset power generation efficiency is preferably 0.85, and the second preset power generation efficiency is preferably 0.65, which can also be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0111] In the embodiment, the first preset optimization value is preferably 1.1, the second preset optimization value is preferably 1.4, and the third preset optimization value is 1.8, which can also be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0112] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: by comparing the real-time power generation m with the dynamic fluctuation interval composed of m1 and m2, the normal fluctuation caused by environmental factors and the abnormal attenuation caused by dirt coverage can be effectively distinguished, so that the real performance change coefficient of the power generation is accurately extracted, providing an anti-interference quantitative basis for calculating the comprehensive power generation efficiency δ, and the preset power generation efficiency level is used to intelligently associate the power generation efficiency quantitative index with the cleaning intensity parameter, so that the accurate adaptive regulation of the cleaning strategy is realized: the higher the power generation efficiency, the more gentle the cleaning mode to save resources, and the lower the power generation efficiency, the stronger the cleaning parameters are automatically triggered to ensure thorough cleaning, which effectively solves the pain points of "excessive cleaning" or "insufficient cleaning" in the traditional fixed parameter cleaning mode.

[0118] In this embodiment, the pre-cleaning uses a soft-bristle roller to make light physical contact with the photovoltaic panel surface, or uses compressed air to generate an air flow for preliminary cleaning. This method can efficiently remove light debris such as dust, fallen leaves, pollen, and sand, and the soft material and non-high-pressure method ensure that the photovoltaic glass surface will not be scratched or damaged, creating a clean environment for subsequent deep cleaning.
[0119] In this embodiment, targeted cleaning uses higher pressure and closer distance to spray water or special cleaning agents on the target area based on the detection results.
[0120] In this embodiment, the overall cleaning uses a mode that covers the entire panel surface and a standardized pressure flow to clean the photovoltaic panel comprehensively. This not only removes possible minor stains that may be missed, but also ensures the uniformity of the panel cleaning degree, avoiding the formation of new shadows or hot spots due to residual water stains or dirt, and ultimately ensuring the uniform recovery of the overall power generation performance of the photovoltaic panel.
[0121] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: through the step-by-step cleaning mode, precise and efficient, resource-saving, and equipment protection are achieved. At the same time, the power generation efficiency is significantly improved, water consumption, energy consumption, and equipment wear and tear are minimized, and the work efficiency is improved.
[0122] S140: After cleaning, the detection device detects the state of the photovoltaic panel again, detects the power generation, and confirms that there is no stain residue and new damage.
[0123] In this embodiment, after cleaning, the system calls the infrared thermal imager, high-definition camera device, and electrical performance test equipment again to perform full-dimensional re-inspection on the photovoltaic panel. By comparing the power generation data before and after cleaning to verify the efficiency recovery degree, using image recognition algorithms to scan the surface to confirm that there is no stain residue, and using infrared detection to check for new physical damage or hot spot hazards that may be caused during the cleaning process.
[0124] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: through the secondary detection after cleaning, the verifiable recovery of the power generation performance is ensured, and a digital cleaning file is formed to provide data support for operation and maintenance optimization, ultimately realizing significant value in extending the service life of the components and ensuring power generation revenue.

[0128] The cleaning tool type, working pressure / rotation speed, moving speed, cleaning frequency and cleaning effect evaluation data are recorded, and a cleaning process report is generated.
[0129] In this embodiment, the cleaning decision report records the trigger logic (parameters such as delta, alpha, beta, F and decision result) of this task, and is bound with the time stamp to form a traceable decision archive.
[0130] In this embodiment, the cleaning process report records the type, pressure, speed, frequency and final effect evaluation of the cleaning equipment, and the execution data.
[0131] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: the entire operation and cleaning process is digitized, providing a data basis for subsequent fault prediction and operation strategy of the photovoltaic panel, and providing data support for subsequent operation iteration.
