1. Program objectives
The drone is equipped with a visible light camera, a thermal infrared sensor or an EL detecting device, and collects visible light, thermal infrared image or EL data of the photovoltaic component to realize intelligent inspection of the drone, and improve the efficiency and safety of the photovoltaic inspection. The visible light and thermal infrared images are stored in real time and can be quickly exported to the pc end. The UAV intelligent diagnostic software is used to intelligently process the thermal infrared image and the visible light image collected by the drone to realize the component non-power generation detection, dust and dirt blocking, Automated diagnosis and localization of hot spots caused by failure of components such as cracks. Greatly improve the inspection efficiency of the photovoltaic power station and the accuracy of fault diagnosis.
2, drone inspection system
The UAV inspection system includes four parts: the UAV system , the data acquisition system, the ground intelligent control system, and the data analysis and processing system. As shown in Figure 3-1:

2.1, UAV system
The UAV system is equipped with an ultra-long-time, industrial-grade multi-rotor U100 with IP56 protection and the latest DJI A3 flight controller with fully optimized attitude analysis and multi-sensor fusion algorithms for precise and reliable integration. High-definition image transmission, real-time view of the camera screen, transmission distance of up to 5 kilometers, picture transfer quality 720P; built-in intelligent battery management system, real-time monitoring of remaining battery power, the system will automatically analyze the calculated amount of return and landing power and Time to avoid the danger caused by insufficient power. At the same time, the 20-minute fast charging function can be realized, and the battery can be fully charged in a short time. The system parameter table is as follows:

2.2, data acquisition system
The data acquisition system includes visible light collecting obstructions, dust covering conditions, and infrared cameras collecting hot spots. The visible light integrated PTZ camera X5 and the thermal infrared integrated PTZ camera XT are separately arranged. The X5 combines a new image sensor with a powerful processor to capture 4K/30p video and 16 megapixel photos. The XT thermal imaging camera uses a range of FLIR proprietary technologies to reflect subtle temperature differences and make the target clear at a glance. The system parameter table is as follows:
Project | Parameter |
Visible light camera | X5 |
Pixel | 16 million pixels |
Photo maximum resolution | 4096x2160 |
ISO range | 100~25600 |

Armored tape is generally a metal band or metal shell wrapped around the surface of the device to protect the power cable from wear or corrosion.
For example, armored cables are wrapped with a layer of copper tape outside the cable to prevent being pierced or worn by sharp objects,it can provide flexible Cord Covers.
Armoured thermocouple is the thermocouple jacket with stainless steel jacket to prevent internal corrosion of the thermocouple.
