Analysis of fault detection and classification in photovoltaic arrays using neural network-based methods

2025-06 , Arizadayana Zahalan , Samila Mat Zali , Ernie Che Mid , Noor Fazliana Fadzail

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are vital in the global renewable energy landscape because of their capability to harness solar energy efficiently. Ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of PV systems is crucial in maximizing their energy contribution. However, these systems' reliability and safety remain critical because they are prone to various faults, mainly when operating in harsh environmental conditions. This study addresses these issues by exploring fault detection and classification in PV arrays using neural network (NN) -based techniques. A PV array model, consisting of 3x6 PV modules, was simulated using MATLAB Simulink to replicate real-world conditions and analyse various fault scenarios. An open circuit, a short circuit, and a degrading fault are the three types of faults considered in this study. The NN was trained on a dataset generated from the MATLAB Simulink model, encompassing normal operating and fault conditions. This training enables the network to learn the distinctive patterns associated with each fault type, enhancing its detection accuracy and classification capabilities. Simulation results demonstrate that the NN-based approach effectively identifies and classifies the three types of faults.

Double sigmoid activation function for fault detection in wind turbine generator using artificial neural network

2025-06 , Noor Fazliana Fadzail , Samila Mat Zali , Ernie Che Mid

The activation function has gained popularity in the research community since it is the most crucial component of the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. However, the existing activation function is unable to accurately capture the value of several parameters that are affected by the fault, especially in wind turbines (WT). Therefore, a new activation function is suggested in this paper, which is called the double sigmoid activation function to capture the value of certain parameters that are affected by the fault. The fault detection in WT with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is the basis for the ANN algorithm model that is presented in this study. The ANN model was developed in different activation functions, namely linear and double sigmoid activation functions to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed activation function. The findings indicate that the model with a double sigmoid activation function has greater accuracy than the model with a linear activation function. Moreover, the double sigmoid activation function provides an accuracy of more than 82% in the ANN algorithm. In conclusion, the simulated response demonstrates that the proposed double sigmoid activation function in the ANN model can effectively be applied in fault detection for DFIG based WT model.

Multiple faults detection in doubly-fed induction generator wind turbine using artificial neural network

2024 , Noor Fazliana Fadzail , Samila Mat Zali , Ernie Che Mid

The development of fault detection methods in wind turbine (WT), especially for single fault detection, is continuously increasing. However, the rapid growth of fault detection in WT leads to another challenge where multiple faults can occur. The single fault detection method in WT is no longer reliable, especially when multiple faults occur simultaneously. Therefore, multiple faults detection in doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) WT was proposed using an artificial neural networks (ANN) model. These multiple faults include internal and external stator faults happening simultaneously. Internal stator faults cover inter-turn short circuit faults and open circuit faults, while external stator faults cover loss of excitation and external short circuit faults. The performance of the developed multiple faults detection model was measured using accuracy and the root mean square error (RMSE) value. The results show that the developed model performs well with high accuracy and a low RMSE value. Thus, the developed model can accurately detect the coexistence of multiple faults in DFIG WT.
