The most important parameters in a PV system are current and voltage. A fault detection model only trained with these two input features can equally be robust as the other models trained with more input datasets. No single fault detection technique is capable of detecting, diagnosing, and locating all types of faults in the PV system.
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 results obtained indicate that the proposed method has significant potential for detecting faults in photovoltaic panels. Training the model from scratch has allowed for better processing of infrared images and more precise detection of faults in the panels.
Fault detection is an essential part of PV panel maintenance as it enhances the performance of the overall system as the detected faults can be corrected before major damages occur which a significant effect on the power has generated.
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.
Therefore, a normal fault detection model can falsely predict a well-operating PV system as a faulty state and vice versa. In this paper, an intelligent fault diagnosis model is proposed for the fault detection and classification in PV systems.
