RESEARCH ON HOT SPOT FAULT IDENTIFICATION METHOD AND STATE QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE BASED ON IMPROVED DEEPLABV3+ NETWORK
for the precise location and quantitative assessment of hot spots of PV modules
a method for quantitative assessment of PV module states based on the fusion of improved DeepLabV3+ network and hot spot pixel specific gravity model is proposed
aiming to realize the quantitative assessment of different hot spot states. Firstly
based on the acquired infrared hot spot image set
this paper proposes to introduce a migration learning network (EfficientNetB7) into the DeepLabV3+ backbone network to improve the feature extraction capability
and then realize the pixel-level semantic segmentation of hot spots. Secondly
the Canny algorithm is utilized to define the pixel-level contours of the segmented hot spot images and calculate their pixel weights using Green’s integral. Finally
a state evaluation model is constructed to quantitatively evaluate the hot spot state of PV modules. Field experiments show that compared with common semantic segmentation methods (DeepLabV3
FCN
U-net
Linknet
SegNet)
the proposed method achieves 98.33% pixel accuracy and 91.43% average intersection and merger ratio
which is good for hot spot segmentation. In addition
the proposed state assessment method can realize accurate quantitative assessment of hot spot size of PV modules.
