Opis

Solar panels are installed in open environmental conditions and are subjected to bird droppings and cement deposits. These deposits increase the temperature of the deposited area and produce heating, local shading of solar cells, produce hotspots and reduce the power generation of solar module. Temperature of solar panels may also vary due to dust, rain, storm and shading of tree leaves causing reduction in the overall performance of solar panels. The main objective of this book is to investigate the effects of heating produced due to bird droppings and cement observed on the surface of solar panels. This book covers the area in Solar Photovoltaic, Thermal Imaging and Digital Image Processing. The book is helpful in understanding the practical implementation of thermal image processing in area of solar photovoltaic specifically bird dropping & cement deposit on the performance with image segmentation techniques (marker based watershed transform) and 3D plots for high temperature regions.
