Photovoltaic panel dust accumulation prediction svm
This study proposes a novel integrated framework that combines fuzzy clustering for panel segmentation, a hybrid SVM–fuzzy logic classifier for dust detection using intensity‐texture features, and a semi‐empirical plus ML–based thermal model. . However, it has been observed that the accumulation of dust and contaminants on panel surfaces markedly reduces efficiency by blocking solar radiation from reaching the surface. Our proposed model achieves an impressive MAE of 1. While existing studies have separately explored image‐based dust detection, environmental modeling, and machine learning (ML) for performance prediction, few have. . In this work, we are more concerned with the detection of dust from the images of the solar panels so that the cleaning process can be done in time to avoid power loses due to dust accumulation on the surface of solar panels. To this end, we utilize state-of-art deep learning-based image. .
