The system is part of a project aimed at optimizing the real-time control and operation of solar PV systems. This autonomous inspection system consists of two layers: (i) anomaly detection by on-board electronics of PV panels (referred as IoT Modules) and (ii) infrared (IR) and visual red, green, and blue (RGB) inspection by UAVs. The IoT Modules run a fault detection algorithm to identify anomalous events. Upon detection, they alert a UAV fleet equipped with RGB and IR cameras to conduct visual and thermal inspections of the affected PV panels. The inspection data is then relayed back to the IoT Modules, triggering appropriate actions. This framework enhances detection algorithms by providing rapid identification of severe issues. UAVs can quickly pinpoint hot-spots through thermographic imaging, enabling prompt intervention. Additionally, UAVs help resolve ambiguities in the detection on certain faults. Moreover, in order to make this autonomous inspection possible, a multiprotocol architecture is developed to ensure effective communication and coordination between IoT Modules and UAVs, facilitating seamless data exchange and system integration.Comunidad de MadridJunta de Comunidades de Castilla-La ManchaAgencia Estatal de InvestigaciónElsevier20252025-04-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10017/66769https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecmx.2025.100878reponame:e_Buah Biblioteca Digital Universidad de Alcaláinstname:Universidad de Alcalá (UAH)InglésengComunidad de Madrid http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100012818 Not available Y2020%2FEMT-6368Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100011698 Not available SBPLY%2F21%2F180501%2F000223Agencia Estatal de Investigación http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2021-2023 PID2022-139575OB-I00 OPTIMIZACION DE LA GENERACION DISTRIBUIDA EN MICRORREDES ELECTRICAS MEDIANTE EL USO DE EDGE COMPUTINGopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ebuah.uah.es:10017/667692026-06-18T11:13:07Z
