Fault identification for photovoltaic systems using a multi-output deep learning approach

作者:

Highlights:

• Fault classification and localization are carried out in a photovoltaic system.

• A multi-output scalable machine- and deep-learning approach is developed.

• A 50% reduction in the number of sensors needed per string is achieved.

• Deep Learning models are more resilient to noise and are more accurate.

• Accuracy up to 99.98% and cross-entropy loss as low as 0.002 are attained.
