Abstract

When collecting solar energy via photovoltaic (PV) panel arrays, one common issue is the potential occurrence of faults. Faults arise from panel short-circuit, soiling, shading, ground leakage and other sources. Machine learning algorithms have enabled data-based classification of faults. In this paper, we present an Internet-based PV array fault monitoring simulation using the Java-DSP (J-DSP) simulation environment. We first develop a solar array simulation in J-DSP and then form appropriate graphics to examine V-I curves, maximum power point tracking, and faults. We then introduce a multi-layer perceptron model for PV fault detection. We deploy and assess the simulation by disseminating to a group of users that provide feedback.
