“…Besides, Perovskite integrated into a building in northern latitude place where snow and rain are the most common phenomenon that should be considered before integration [255,256]. In the case of a hot climate and dust environment, how this technology will perform can be a significant investigating area before building integration [257][258][259][260][261][262][263] that must be a vital fact when considering PSC integration in BIPV.…”

The rapid efficiency enhancement of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) make it a promising photovoltaic (PV) research, which has now drawn attention from industries and government organizations to invest for further development of PSC technology. PSC technology continuously develops into new and improved results. However, stability, toxicity, cost, material production and fabrication become the significant factors, which limits the expansion of PSCs. PSCs integration into a building in the form of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is one of the most holistic approaches to exploit it as a next-generation PV technology. Integration of high efficiency and semi-transparent PSC in BIPV is still not a well-established area. The purpose of this review is to get an overview of the relative scope of PSCs integration in the BIPV sector. This review demonstrates the benevolence of PSCs by stimulating energy conversion and its perspective and gradual evolution in terms of photovoltaic applications to address the challenge of increasing energy demand and their environmental impacts for BIPV adaptation. Understanding the critical impact regarding the materials and devices established portfolio for PSC integration BIPV are also discussed. In addition to highlighting the apparent advantages of using PSCs in terms of their demand, perspective and the limitations, challenges, new strategies of modification and relative scopes are also addressed in this review.

“…The work of reference [24] shows the impact of dust settlement on the electrical, optical, and thermal characteristics of PV modules. Dust deposited on a cell for a long period of time can lead to the appearance of a hot spot, which can be detected even with the dust on it due to the heating of the whole cell [25][26][27]. The most widespread way to detect these hot spots is using infrared or radiometric cameras [28].…”

Remote Management Architecture of UAV Fleets for Maintenance, Surveillance, and Security Tasks in Solar Power Plants

et al. 2020

This article presents a remote management architecture of an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fleet to aid in the management of solar power plants and object tracking. The proposed system is a competitive advantage for sola r energy production plants, due to the reduction in costs for maintenance, surveillance, and security tasks, especially in large solar farms. This new approach consists of creating a hardware and software architecture that allows for performing different tasks automatically, as well as remotely using fleets of UAVs. The entire system, composed of the aircraft, the servers, communication networks, and the processing center, as well as the interfaces for accessing the services via the web, has been designed for this specific purpose. Image processing and automated remote control of the UAV allow generating autonomous missions for the inspection of defects in solar panels, saving costs compared to traditional manual inspection. Another application of this architecture related to security is the detection and tracking of pedestrians and vehicles, both for road safety and for surveillance and security issues of solar plants. The novelty of this system with respect to current systems is summarized in that all the software and hardware elements that allow the inspection of solar panels, surveillance, and people counting, as well as traffic management tasks, have been defined and detailed. The modular system presented allows the exchange of different specific vision modules for each task to be carried out. Finally, unlike other systems, calibrated fixed cameras are used in addition to the cameras embedded in the drones of the fleet, which complement the system with vision algorithms based on deep learning for identification, surveillance, and inspection.

“…These characteristic curves are unimodal in uniform conditions, whereas they are multimodal in non-uniform conditions [44]. Non-uniform conditions, such as irradiance variance, can be exacerbated by the sun's displacement during the day, soiling, and shadowing [45]- [48]. Nearby buildings, trees, and objects cause the Partial Shading Condition (PSC).…”

This paper outlines a novel design of low-cost, portable, fast, and precise Current-Voltage Curve Tracer (IVCT) with automated parameter extraction for high power rated Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) modules to effectively and efficiently determine the outdoor operating status of SPV power generators. The developed IVCT is based on a Raspberry Pi microprocessor, a super-capacitive load, heat sinkable discharge resistances, and sensors with high sensitivity and resolution for measuring light irradiance, module temperature, current, and voltage. The proposed Outdoor Test Facility (OTF) consists of an Current-Voltage (I − V ) and a Power-Voltage (P − V ) curve tracer that uses a dynamic loading supercapacitor to safely and quickly scan the SPV module performance characteristics under real-world operating conditions. It also helps to achieve uniform sampling with better data accuracy. It uses Raspberry Pi as a central processing unit for low-cost data acquisition, data logging, and data computation. Furthermore, results from on-field testing of various small-scale SPV modules show that the I − V tracer can acquire higher-resolution characteristics curves and perform accurate model parameter recognition in real-time. Proposed IVCT can measure individual SPV modules without altering the electrical interconnection circuit, and the operating point can be shifted to 20 A and 45 V in few seconds. The proposed system recomposes the SPV module I − V characteristics based on this variance, with accuracies of 1 to 3% for the region near maximum power.
