Metaheuristic optimization based fault diagnosis strategy for solar photovoltaic systems under non-uniform irradiance

Solar energy is acquiring large global share in renewable energy sector. Open and short circuited faults in SPV system are major degrading factors for solar power production. In this scenario, proficient fault diagnosis strategies for productive operation of SPV system are gaining essentiality. In this work, a novel approach to employ metaheuristic optimization as a fault diagnosis technique for SPV systems has been proposed. The technique is...
