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.
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.
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.
The major problems considered in the solar power plant fault detections are its high cost, unreliability, complexity of the circuit, high error value and less R 2. If any one of the factors is improved then the other factor performance will degrade, so overall performance was affected.
Introduction Fault detection and timely troubleshooting are essential for the optimum performance in any power generation system, including photovoltaic (PV) systems. In particular, the goal for any commercial power-producing house is maximizing power production, minimizing energy loss and maintenance cost, and the safe operation of the facility.
To detect and/or characterize the type of faults in the PV system, the response of the PV system to the injected signals is considered. As an example of the use of the EIM technique, the authors in [29, 30] compared the input signal to the PV cell, module, or string to the reflected signal from the circuit.
