Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Deteriorated solar panels cause not only decreasing of power generation but also significantly safety concerns such as concentrated heat generation in a small area. Therefore, the deterioration diagnosis and the risk management are indispensable for solar power generation systems. However, conventional maintenance methods focusing on the power generation characteristics costs a lot of time and money since it is necessary to connect the measuring device to each solar module. Conventional maintenance methods using thermal images are mainly based on abnormality detection focusing on specifying the high temperature area, and specific diagnosis in abnormal solar cells has not yet been provided. In this paper, we design the thermal image classifier using deep learning for the state diagnosis of the bypass diode and the power generation circuit which are the main abnormal part of solar module. The validation based on 1400 thermal images of six solar modules collected over six months, shown to classification performance of f1-score 0.97.
