摘要: 太阳能光伏发电是国家能源结构性调整的重要组成部分,近几年随着光伏发电产业规模迅速扩张,光伏电站的日常运维压力日益增加。针对光伏电站面积大、人工检测效率低等问题,文章对基于无人机的光伏电站智能巡检技术进行研究,提出了一个基于无人机的光伏电站智能巡检完整技术路线,实现了光伏面板图像数据自动化采集与分析,并对基于计算机视觉的缺陷检测方法进行研究,采用自适应动态阈值法并结合图像增强技术,基于红外图像实现了鲁棒的光伏面板缺陷检测,结合可见光数据实现缺陷类型判别,进一步根据相机POS数据及相机模型解算缺陷坐标,实现缺陷定位,并在实际场景中验证了所提出技术路线的有效性。Abstract: Solar photovoltaic power generation is an important component of a country's energy structural adjustment. With the rapid expansion of the scale of the photovoltaic power generation industry in recent years, the need for an automated daily maintenance of photovoltaic power stations has increased. Traditional manual detection methods are inefficient because photovoltaic power stations are spread over a large area. In this study, we investigate the intelligent inspection technology of a photovoltaic power station based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A technical route for an intelligent inspection of a UAV-based photovoltaic power station is proposed. We achieve the automation of photovoltaic panel image data acquisition and analysis and investigate defect detection based on computer vision. We realize photovoltaic panel defect detection based on infrared images using an adaptive dynamic threshold method combined with image enhancement technology, facilitating the classification of defects to be determined by using visible light images. The defect locations are further calculated by combining the POS data and the camera model. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed technical route in an actual scenario.
