Ren et al. developed an improved SSD algorithm based on hot spot detection in solar PV panels. This work performed an analysis to compare training and results with other networks, e.g., conventional SSD and YOLO. The results with the enhanced SSD network were more accurate, faster and robust compared to other networks.
Analysis to show the dominance of the proposed methodology using real data. In this paper, a hybrid features based support vector machine (SVM) model is proposed using infrared thermography technique for hotspots detection and classification of photovoltaic (PV) panels.
The early detection of hotspots is essential to ensure the reliability and durability of the PV systems. In this work, the PV thermal images classification performance of QDA, n-Bayes, KNN, BE, and SVM algorithms was analyzed using different training datasets.
Experimental results have shown that when a PV string is under a maximum power point tracking control, hot spotting in a single cell results in a capacitance increase and dc impedance increase. The capacitance change is detectable by measuring the ac impedance magnitude in the 10-70 kHz frequency range.
Vergura and Marino (2017) used infrared (IR) images to detect the hotspot in the PV module up to cell level, but they did not classify the PV panel into different classes. Niazi et al. (2019a) addressed the issue of panel classification using the Naive Bayes (NB) technique and classified the PV panel into three different classes.
Thermal images of solar panels were acquired using a thermal camera, which were then passed through the pre-processing phase to enhance the image quality and noise removal. After pre-processing, the different image features were calculated to construct the training dataset.
