PV fault detection teaching material

Published:

In November-December 2023, a 20h course has been given to some Master students of the Solar Academy on PV fault detection.

The module content includes:

  • PV performance modeling from weather variables (Irradiance in the plane of array, ambient temperature etc..) and system configuration, which includes:
    • Module temperature
    • DC power
    • AC/DC efficiency
    • Performance metric calculations.
  • Failure detection based on real production time series.

  • Hands-on with python notebooks.

The repository which hosts the solar academy course on PV fault detection can be found here

The course was derived from the workshop given at Datasun 2022. Datasun workshop
