Cleaning of Photovoltaic Panels Utilizing the Downward Thrust of a Drone

This study demonstrates that a drone flying above photovoltaic (PV) panels can clean the dust and enhance the panels’ efficiency. If operated regularly, the drone’s downward thrust generated during its cruise at a certain height above the panels can remove most of the accumulated dust. Sandstorms are frequent in Saudi Arabia, creating dust deposition on PV panels, which acts as a shield against solar radiation. As a result, the energy absorption from solar radiation is reduced and subsequently, the panels’ energy output is reduced. This experimental investigation was conducted at KFUPM University’s beach, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, to prove the effectiveness of drone-based cleaning of PV panels. Volumes of 20, 50, and 100 CC of dust were spread on the panel during different experiments. These experimental results showed that the back thrust of the drone could remove most of the dust and improve the solar panels’ energy output performance. For example, for 50 CC dust spread on the panel, the current increased from 1.34 A to 2.16 A (61.2% increase), relative to the pre- and post-drone flight for horizontal movement of the drone. Similarly, for vertical and diagonal movements, the current increased by 69.83% and 68.03%, respectively, for a dust spread of 20 CC. Furthermore, dust reductions of 74.64%, 57.0%, and 78.4% were realized during the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal paths, respectively, of the drone flight for 50 CC dust spread.

Globally, the wind power capacities are growing every passing year, which is an indicative of social and commercial acceptance of this technology by a larger section of the populations. In Indian perspective, the wind power capacities are also increasing with annual additions of new capacities and most of the development work is taking place in the southern part and that too in Tamil Nadu state. Research work in the area of accurate wind power assessment is being conducted to optimize the utilization of wind power and at the same time efforts are being exerted to enhance the operation and maintenance capabilities of the local skilled and semiskilled work force. This study utilizes 38 years of hourly mean wind speed data from seven locations for providing the accurate wind power assessment and understanding the longitudinal behavior of its characteristics. The wind speed is found to be increasing with decreasing latitudes and having lesser variation in wind direction fluctuations, simply means conversing wind direction to narrower bands. Kanyakumari is identified as the most probable wind power deployment site with annual energy yield of 227.55 MWh and capacity factor of 34% followed by Vedaranyam, and Thoothukudi, as second and third priority sites with respective annual yields of 223.36 MWh and 218.73 MWh.
