With the exponential growth in global photovoltaic (PV) power capacity, protection of PV
systems has gained prodigious importance in last few decades. Even with the use of …

If a failure in the components of a photovoltaic (PV) system, such as PV module, controller,
inverter, load, cable, etc. goes undetected and uncorrected, it can seriously affect the …

In this paper, we review the state of the art in the detection, location, and diagnosis of faults
in electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS) including in the electric power grid and …

Three major catastrophic failures in photovoltaic (PV) arrays are ground faults, line-to-line
faults, and arc faults. Although there have not been many such failures, recent fire events on …

Health monitoring and diagnosis of photovoltaic (PV) systems is becoming crucial to
maximise the power production, increase the reliability and life service of PV power plants …

This paper presents a detection scheme for DC side short-circuit faults of photovoltaic (PV)
arrays that consist of multiple PV panels connected in a series/parallel configuration. Such …

A healthy photovoltaic (PV) array has a specific impedance between node pairs, and any
ground fault changes the impedance values. Reflectometry is a well-known technique in …

The nonlinear characteristics of a photovoltaic (PV) array, maximum power point tracking of
the PV inverter, presence of blocking diodes, and lower irradiation prevent the conventional …

Catastrophic faults in photovoltaic (PV) arrays, if not detected timely, will significantly reduce
the output power and even cause fire risks. Thus, fast and accurate fault detection and …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems play an important role in contemporary electricity production as a
ubiquitous renewable energy source. However, the performance of a PV system is …
