The large-scale hot-spot phenomena may develop from localized temperatures anomaly within a unit cell in the module while current researches generally ignored this small-scale but important problem. In this paper, close inspection of localized hot spots within photovoltaic modules is conducted with a xenon lamp of simulating the solar irradiation.
The article discusses a variety of defence strategies for photovoltaic (PV) systems against abnormal events such electric shock, overcurrent, voltage swings, and hot spots. The performance of the panel may be hampered by hot spots, a well-known fault that appears in badly matched series-connected cells.
On the one hand, with the increasing number and time of PV panel installation, more and more PV panels are featured with hot spot defects of various sizes. Therefore, a more accurate and timely detection system for hot spots of PV panels is urgently needed. Individuals have been trying to develop a detection system for hot spots of PV panels.
By inductive analysis, hot spots of PV panels can be divided into three classes in shape: round, linear, and square ones, which can represent various hot spots of PV panels common in the field operation of PV power stations. Fig. 2 shows the three typical types of hot spots in PV panels.
Individuals have been trying to develop a detection system for hot spots of PV panels. Chiou et al. [10] pointed out the hidden crack defects of batteries caused by the detection method of
