Project summary
Hyperion project aims to develop software and hardware for the remote surveillance, maintenance and optimisation of the operation of photovoltaic installations. More specifically, during this project, an aerial robotic vehicle (drone) will be developed which will be capable to fly autonomously (without human tele-operation) over photovoltaic installations and, using proper sensors and algorithms, it will be able to create a map of the installation, to navigate itself autonomously within this map, and to detect possible problems. In cases where problems are detected. the system will propose solutions and/or optimisation actions. Especially in the case of hot spots, the proposed system will be able to effectively contribute to its prevention by detecting local dirt spots which are likely to transform to hot spots and where it is possible, it will try to dissolve the dirt sports by spraying them with solvent liquid.
