Therefore, it is mandatory to identify and locate the type of fault occurring in a solar PV system. The faults occurring in the solar PV system are classified as follows: physical, environmental, and electrical faults that are further classified into different types as described in this paper.
The reliable performance and efficient fault diagnosis of photovoltaic (PV) systems are essential for optimizing energy generation, reducing downtime, and ensuring the longevity of PV installations.
The method includes as inputs the solar irradiation and module temperature of the PVM and then using this information together with the characteristics captured from the PV power generation system, provide fault diagnosis, including P m, I m, V m and V oc of the PVA during operation. Investigated faults are reported in Table 8.
Therefore, detecting and identifying faults in PV systems is an essential task that helps to improve the reliability, efficiency and safety of PV systems. Without suitable and proper detection, the emergence of faults in PV power plants causes performance losses and can lead to safety issues and fire hazards.
Many researchers have suggested a number of diagnostic approaches specifically targeted at PV power plants for detecting, diagnosing, and identifying faults in photovoltaic systems. These methods and the evaluation of their effectiveness have also been the subject of several review studies , , , .
