In Mekki et al. (2016), a fault detection scheme based on an artificial neural network (ANN) is suggested to effectively detect partial shading in a PV array. In this approach solar irradiance,
PV faults in solar PV array results significant power loss, lower reliability, very fast panel degradation, and further risk of fire (Gokmen et al. 2013 ). This chapter presents a comprehensive literature review along with a critical analysis of fault diagnosis and condition monitoring for solar PV systems. Major contributions are:
The multi-brand solar data logging system leverages the RS485 protocol to gather data from diverse sources, encompassing inverters, electricity meters, and environmental sensors. The capability to monitor solar power plants, which can support up to 100 inverters, characterizes this independent energy management system.
Robust encryption, secure communication protocols, and anomaly detection for cybersecurity events should be integrated into fault detection frameworks. Finally, improving fault detection in PV systems through distributed or federated learning methods holds great promise for future research.
Faults, defects, and shading conditions in PV array involve detection as a prime computational task. PV faults in solar PV array results significant power loss, lower reliability, very fast panel degradation, and further risk of fire (Gokmen et al. 2013 ).
Additionally, the review emphasizes the significance of data acquisition and monitoring in PV systems for successful fault detection. The application of model-based fault detection methods in PV systems, while demonstrating efficacy, is not without its limitations.
Future research should investigate methods to secure fault detection systems against cyber threats, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the data used for fault analysis. Robust encryption, secure communication protocols, and anomaly detection for cybersecurity events should be integrated into fault detection frameworks.
