Abstract

In order to solve the problems of high cost and low efficiency of manual fault detection of photovoltaic modules in real life, a typical fault classification and recognition system for photovoltaic modules based on thermal imaging photography and machine processing was proposed. Feature extraction network is used to extract features from thermal imaging images. Classify different types of faults and make training sets; The YOLOV5 target detection algorithm was used to train the model through subset pre-training, weight allocation, multi-group multi-number training and other methods, and the test set was used for multiple tests. The test results show that the system has a strong ability to identify faults, and the average accuracy of network detection in the task of fault classification reaches 84.2%. In the complex area images including the target photovoltaic modules, the accuracy of the result reached 79.1% after the test set tested the training model. It is judged that the system can replace manual work to complete the typical fault classification and identification of photovoltaic modules.
