Photovoltaic module fault detection method of the present invention is by gathering from photovoltaic module surface the induced electricity flow valuve that each cell piece, every root bead band produces in the energized state, judge whether this place's cell piece exists fault according to induced electricity flow valuve, as problems such as welding abnormal welding, cell piece generating exceptions itself.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of photovoltaic module fault detection method of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is photovoltaic module fault detection method of the present invention application schematic diagram in one embodiment.
Embodiment
Refer to shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the invention provides a kind of photovoltaic module fault detection method, for detecting the position of abnormal cell piece in photovoltaic module, thus judge the problem whether welding on this abnormal cell piece exists rosin joint, comes off, or judge whether cell piece itself exists the abnormal defect (as thin gate line electrode, main gate line lead rupture etc.) of generating, described photovoltaic module comprises some cell pieces and connects the welding of cell piece, utilize detection method of the present invention, the problem between cell piece and welding can be detected.
As shown in Figure 1, photovoltaic module fault detection method of the present invention, comprises the steps:
S101: be energized to photovoltaic module;
S102: gather the induced electricity flow valuve that each welding in photovoltaic module on each cell piece produces successively;
S103: the position confirming fail battery sheet according to the induced electricity flow valuve collected.
Wherein, in present pre-ferred embodiments, " S101: to photovoltaic module energising ", refer to and adopt function generator to apply a sine voltage between the positive and negative exit of photovoltaic module, voltage is about 8-10V, and because function generator has wider frequency range, and break-make is safer, preferred to the step mode of photovoltaic module in the embodiment of the present invention, shown in Fig. 2.Certainly, in other embodiments, other modes also can be adopted to be energized to photovoltaic module, such as, between the positive and negative exit of photovoltaic module, to apply an alternating voltage, also can meet the testing requirement of detection method.No matter be applied in sine voltage or alternating voltage, after energising, each cell piece in photovoltaic module will become load resistance, and will be interconnected by welding, welding will have electric current flow through.
In present pre-ferred embodiments, " S102: gather the induced electricity flow valuve that each welding in photovoltaic module on each cell piece produces successively ", shown in Fig. 2, mainly comprises:
Inductance type transducer is placed in the transparent cover plate surface of photovoltaic module;
When photovoltaic module is energized, inductance type transducer is moved successively the top of putting to each cell piece, and make described inductance type transducer corresponding with the position of each welding;
The induced electricity flow valuve that described inductance type transducer gathers is read by ammeter, this current value is the induced current that welding produces in the energized state, its large I directly reflects the current value size of actual flow warp in welding, namely induced current greatly then represents that the current value flowed through in welding is also larger, induced current is abnormal then illustrates that the current value flowed through in welding is also abnormal, the current value flowing through each cell piece can be learnt thus, this current value directly reflects on present battery sheet position whether existing defects can help the place, position of failure judgement cell piece.
Because the quantity of cell piece surface welding is relevant with the main gate line number of electrodes on cell piece surface, therefore, cell piece of the present invention mainly contains the cell piece kind of the current main flow such as two grid line cell sheets, three grid line cell sheets, four grid line cell sheets.For two grid line cell sheets, because cell piece surface has two grid lines, thus the welding of its surface soldered also only has two, when utilizing detection method to detect, described inductance type transducer need be placed on respectively on the position corresponding with described in two weldings, so record the induced electricity flow valuve that two weldings produce respectively, in order to easy to detect, two inductance type transducers can be adopted to detect single battery sheet simultaneously, one-time detection can obtain two current values simultaneously, improves detection efficiency with this.Certainly, for three grid line cell sheets, four grid line cell sheets, detection mode is identical, in practice, because the welding quantity on each cell piece surface increases accordingly, welding rosin joint, the probability come off are relatively larger, utilize the position that detection method of the present invention can conveniently be monitored out welding rosin joint, come off.
In present pre-ferred embodiments, " S103: the position confirming fail battery sheet according to the induced electricity flow valuve collected ", mainly comprise: record and compare all induced electricity flow valuves of collection, finding abnormal induced electricity flow valuve, and find out this welding position corresponding to abnormal current value.Principle is herein, if the induced current that welding produces is significantly less than the induced current that other weldings produce, then probably reflects that welding abnormal welding or present battery sheet exist generating abnormal; If no current passes through and makes ammeter cannot collect induced current in welding, then probably reflect that welding has come off or to be disconnected or the cell piece at current welding place exists the problem do not generated electricity.Visible, according to the size of current flowed through in welding, fault, abnormal position can be found fast.In actual applications, if it is 50mA that photovoltaic module records the induced current that a root bead band produces when initial, and find after 1 year that this current value becomes 0 in use, then now can judge this welding there occurs disconnection or sealing-off (cell piece itself generally can not completely lose generating capacity, even if Local Damaged, other positions still have generating capacity, therefore current value is 0 usually can not judge that cell piece does not generate electricity completely), and depend merely in prior art and detect the I-V data of photovoltaic module, be the local defect that cannot reflect a certain cell piece.
In sum, the present invention passes through the induced current (it can reflect the current value of actual flow warp in welding) that on from photovoltaic module acquisition surface to its internal cell sheet, each welding position produces, and find out abnormal current value intuitively according to this faradic size, and determine this welding position corresponding to abnormal current value, and then orient the position of fail battery sheet fast, when current value is abnormal, usually just there are two kinds of possibilities: the welding connection on present battery sheet may exist abnormal (as welding rosin joint, sealing-off, fracture), or cell piece self may exist generating abnormal (as surface gate line electrode fracture and cannot collected current), now only need check these two kinds possible situations one by one, whole process is fairly simple, convenient, observe intuitively by data and find the problem, greatly can reduce the probability of erroneous judgement, improve accuracy and the detection efficiency of photovoltaic module fault detect.
The above; it is only most preferred embodiment of the present invention; not any pro forma restriction is done to the present invention; any those of ordinary skill in the art; do not departing under technical solution of the present invention ambit; utilize the method content of above-mentioned announcement to make many possible variations and modification to technical solution of the present invention, all belong to the scope of claims protection.
