Abstract
Exposing photovoltaic installations to the outdoors for a long time leads to various breakdowns. Accurate and quantitative diagnosis of defect severity is vital for decision-making given the cost of defect removal. In this paper, a Takagi-Sugeno type neuro-fuzzy approach for the detection, identification and location of faults in solar photovoltaic systems is proposed. Then, an algorithm for optimizing the structure of the neuro-fuzzy model is developed, in order to improve the convergence capacity, resolve the influence of random parameters on the predictive performances, and to reduce both the number of synaptic weights and membership functions. This approach accurately detects, identifies and locates photovoltaic faults based on measurements of fault current, photovoltaic voltage, irradiance level, temperature and weather. Various fault scenarios are experimentally verified and validated in a large-scale solar photovoltaic power plant in order to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approach.
