Also, in researchers from Nippon & telephone Corporation (NTT, Japan) have designed a fully autonomous UAV inspection for PV pannels using different AI algorithms. The results reveal that single shot detection (SSD) algorithm perform well to monitor around 2 MW solar power in 1 just minute.
The system, which is sought for aeroplanes instead of drones, uses a high speed 1.3 MP FLIR MWIR thermal camera and another cooled sensor to allow inspection of solar panels at very high altitude. The camera is claimed to accurately detect hot spots with narrow temperature differences at relatively low radiance.
Abstract: Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for ensuring the optimal performance of solar panels. However, conventional manual methods can be laborious, time consuming, and expensive, especially for large and inaccessible installations.
The solar panel is identified with a shape detection algorithm and the defects are classified using (EL) images with a CNN, based on the VGG16 architecture; various approaches to avoid overfitting are presented to achieve better performance.
In the case study, a (CNN) based framework that can autonomously detect defective solar cells using aerial robots is integrated with the autonomous navigation of the aerial robot. There are two main phases for this framework: detection of the solar panel location and identification of the solar cell defect with a feasible set of trajectories.
