Abstract
To ensure photovoltaic (PV) panels at a PV plant constantly operate in an ideal state, an unsupervised system and method of intelligent performance evaluation and data-driven fault detection is used. The system and method enables engineers to check PV panels in time and implement timely maintenance. Monitored data are classified into three subsets: ideal period A, transition period S, and downturn period B. Based on A and B data, two regression prediction models are built which are tree-based and fit the non-continuous PV data well. Real-time measured power is compared with upper and lower reference baselines derived from the two predictive models, respectively. Using threshold ranges, the system and method achieves the instantaneous performance monitoring of PV power generation, and provides failure identification and operation and maintenance (O&M) suggestions to engineers.
