With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, fault monitoring is becoming an important issue in maintaining the safe and stable operation of a solar power station. In order to diagnose the fault types of photovoltaic array, a fault diagnosis method that is based on the Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) in the Bayesian framework is put forward. First, based on the elaborat...

A circuit based model of photovoltaic array (PV) suitable for simulation studies of solar power systems is proposed in this paper. The proposed model is realised using Power System Block Set under MATLAB/SIMULINK, however, it can be constructed using standard simulation software such as PSPICE. The proposed circuit model has several advantages: simple, reliable, allows simulation of basic cells...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a dynamic simulation and analysis of the "Sierra de María" photovoltaic system (Almería, South East of Spain), which consists of two identical subsystems with: 80 kWp photovoltaic array, 1176 kWh lead-acid batteries device, 150 kVA PWM inverter and 200 kVA six pulse rectifier. The simulation and analysis of the whole photovoltaic "Sierra de María" system was made t...

maximum power point tracking controller is essential to obtain the maximum power from a solar array in the photovoltaic systems as the pv power module varies with the temperature and solar irradiation. in this paper, several methods for the mppt of the pv systems are discussed and it can to be used as a helpful reference for the upcoming mppt user in the pv applications.

In this paper, a voltage-current mode controller is proposed to adjust both the input current and DC voltage of a boost-inverter in order to improve the performance of the photovoltaic (PV). The proposed system is based on fuzzy-making-decision predictive voltage-current controller (FPVCC). The simulation results show that in case of using the proposed FPVCC, the input current of a PV array is ...
