Abstract

This study proposes a novel approach to identify and classify faults in photovoltaic systems. Specifically, a hybrid model is developed by integrating an artificial neural network with a differential evolution algorithm. The differential evolution algorithm is utilized to optimize the neural network's topology and enhance the accuracy of the fault detection and categorization system. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving both prediction accuracy and training accuracy. Thus, this study contributes to the development of advanced techniques for monitoring and maintaining the reliability of photovoltaic systems.
