Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to photovoltaic module fault diagnosis, specifically to a photovoltaic module fault diagnosis method and system based on IV-CV feature synergistic fusion. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth of global demand for clean energy, photovoltaic power generation, as an important way to utilize renewable energy, has experienced rapid development and widespread application. As the core component of a photovoltaic power generation system, the operating status of photovoltaic modules directly affects the power generation efficiency and stability of the entire system.

[0003] During the long-term operation of photovoltaic modules, various faults inevitably occur due to environmental factors (such as high temperature, high humidity, and ultraviolet radiation), electrical stress, and aging. These faults include hot spots, microcracks, and PID effects. These faults can lead to a decrease in the output power of photovoltaic modules and may even cause safety problems.

[0004] Currently, fault diagnosis methods for photovoltaic (PV) modules are mainly divided into two categories: electrical characteristic analysis and image recognition analysis. Electrical characteristic analysis is usually based on the PV module's IV curve, analyzing the curve's characteristic parameters to determine the presence of faults. However, this method struggles to accurately identify some relatively complex fault types. Image recognition analysis utilizes visible light and infrared images to detect surface defects and abnormal heating areas in PV modules. However, single image analysis can be affected by factors such as image quality and environmental interference, leading to inaccurate diagnostic results.

[0005] Therefore, in order to diagnose photovoltaic module faults more accurately and comprehensively, and improve the power generation efficiency and stability of photovoltaic power generation systems, it is necessary to study a photovoltaic module fault diagnosis method and system based on the synergistic fusion of IV-CV features.

[0061] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0062] Compared with existing technologies, the photovoltaic module fault diagnosis method and system based on IV-CV feature synergistic fusion provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0063] 1) Integrating multiple features to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis

[0064] By synergistically fusing IV-CV features for photovoltaic module fault diagnosis, the advantages of both electrical characteristics and image features are fully utilized. On the one hand, the IV curves of abnormal photovoltaic cells are acquired and analyzed using a fault diagnosis model built on a multilayer perceptron (MLP), which can deeply explore fault information from an electrical perspective. On the other hand, the original images and infrared images of abnormal photovoltaic modules are acquired, and after processing to obtain images of the fault area, fault diagnosis is performed using a diagnostic matching matrix, which can provide fault clues at the image level. This multi-dimensional information fusion diagnosis method effectively overcomes the limitations of single diagnostic methods, greatly improves the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis, and can more accurately identify the fault type and location of photovoltaic modules.

[0065] 2) Precisely match solutions to improve fault repair efficiency.

[0066] Based on the final fault diagnosis results of abnormal photovoltaic modules, the system can adaptively recommend targeted fault repair solutions. By identifying appropriate repair entities (such as repair personnel, repair robots, or repair drones) and accurately matching the corresponding fault repair solutions from the repair information database in conjunction with the final fault diagnosis results, the system avoids the behavior of repair personnel blindly troubleshooting and attempting repairs. This not only saves repair time and reduces power generation losses caused by faults, but also enables repair resources to be used more rationally, significantly improving the fault repair efficiency of photovoltaic modules.

[0067] 3) Intelligent automatic processing enhances the system's intelligence level.

[0068] The entire technical solution, from data acquisition and fault diagnosis to solution recommendation, achieves a high degree of intelligence and automation: In the data acquisition stage, various sensors are used to automatically collect information such as voltage, current, and images of photovoltaic modules; during the fault diagnosis process, the fault diagnosis model and diagnostic matching matrix can automatically analyze and process the input data to obtain fault diagnosis results; in the solution recommendation stage, the system can automatically determine the repair entity and match the corresponding fault repair solution based on the final fault diagnosis result.

10. A photovoltaic module fault diagnosis system based on IV-CV feature synergistic fusion, used to execute the photovoltaic module fault diagnosis method based on IV-CV feature synergistic fusion as described in claim 1, characterized in that: It includes a first data acquisition module, an abnormal photovoltaic module identification module, an abnormal photovoltaic cell identification module, a second data acquisition module, a first fault diagnosis result generation module, an image acquisition module, a fault area image generation module, a second fault diagnosis result generation module, a final fault diagnosis result generation module, and a fault repair plan recommendation module; The first data acquisition module acquires the voltage and current of multiple photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic array. The photovoltaic array includes multiple parallel branches connected in series. Each parallel branch includes at least two photovoltaic modules connected in parallel. Each parallel branch is connected in parallel with a voltage sensor, and each photovoltaic module is connected in series with a current sensor. The voltage sensor is used to acquire the voltage of all photovoltaic modules in the parallel branch, and the current sensor is used to acquire the current of all photovoltaic modules. The abnormal photovoltaic module identification module determines the target parallel branch where the abnormal photovoltaic module is located by comparing the voltage collected by voltage sensors of multiple parallel branches, and determines the abnormal photovoltaic module by comparing the current collected by all current sensors in the target parallel branch. The abnormal photovoltaic cell identification module stops all other photovoltaic cells in the abnormal photovoltaic module for each photovoltaic cell in the abnormal photovoltaic module, measures the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of each photovoltaic cell, and identifies the abnormal photovoltaic cell by comparing the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of all photovoltaic cells. The second data acquisition module, based on a single diode model, generates the IV curve of the abnormal photovoltaic cell according to the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the abnormal photovoltaic cell. The first fault diagnosis result generation module collects the current IV curve, temperature and illuminance of the abnormal photovoltaic cell, and obtains the feature vector of the abnormal photovoltaic cell after preprocessing. The feature vector of the abnormal photovoltaic cell is then input into the pre-trained fault diagnosis model to obtain the first fault diagnosis result. The image acquisition module acquires raw and infrared images of the abnormal photovoltaic modules; The fault area image generation module performs pixelation processing on the infrared image to obtain pixel data, and performs an overlap fitting operation on the pixel data and the original image to obtain the fault area image. The second fault diagnosis result generation module uses a diagnosis matching matrix to perform fault diagnosis on the fault area image and obtains the second fault diagnosis result. The final fault diagnosis result generation module combines the first fault diagnosis result and the second fault diagnosis result to obtain the final fault diagnosis result of the abnormal photovoltaic module. The fault repair solution recommendation module determines the repair entity based on the final fault diagnosis results of the abnormal photovoltaic module, and matches the corresponding fault repair solution from the repair information database by combining the final fault diagnosis results of the abnormal photovoltaic module and the repair entity.
