Fault Diagnosis of PV Array Based on Time Series and Support Vector Machine

This paper proposes a diagnosis method based on time series and support vector machine (SVM) to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and feasibility of fault diagnosis for photovoltaic (PV) arrays. It obtains the nominal output power of the PV array based on real-time collected data such as voltage, cu...

description This paper proposes a diagnosis method based on time series and support vector machine (SVM) to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and feasibility of fault diagnosis for photovoltaic (PV) arrays. It obtains the nominal output power of the PV array based on real-time collected data such as voltage, current, radiation, and temperature and normalizes the power values at different time points throughout the day to form a time series. Using the time series values as input data for a “one-to-one” multiclass classifier, we can identify and classify typical operational faults such as random shading, fixed shading, and aging degradation of PV arrays. The developed algorithmic model is trained and tested for different fault conditions using the data sets generated by the PV array simulation device. The experimental results show that our model has fairly good reliability and accuracy, and to some extent, it solves the problem of classifying shading and aging faults, two of which exhibit rather similar degradation characteristics.
