Robust and flexible strategy for fault detection in grid-connected photovoltaic systems

Reliable and efficient detection of faults in photovoltaic systems provides pertinent information for improving their safety and productivity. However, data gathered from photovoltaic systems are generally tainted with a large amount of noise, which can swamp the most relevant features necessary to detect faults, and ultimately degrades fault detection capability of the monitoring system. Therefore, it is crucial to design a robust fault...
