UAV-based thermal monitoring of solar panels for different topographic conditions

Semih Sami Akay

The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to monitor photovoltaic(PV)systems, specifically focusing on their integration with thermal imaging technology. The process involves equipping UAVs with integrated thermal cameras to capture aerial photographs, which are then used to generatethermal orthomosaic. These thermal dataplay a crucial role in efficiency calculations for solar panelsin solar farms.The integration of UAVs with thermal imaging technology offers several advantages. It provides a rapid and cost-effective solution for monitoring solar farmswhere human resources may be limited ...Daha fazlası
