Abstract:Solar electricity is set to play a pivotal role in future energy systems. In view of a market that may soon reach the terawatt (TW) scale, a careful assessment of the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems becomes critical. Research on PV fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) focuses on the automated identification of faults within PV systems through production data, and long‐term performance evaluations aim to determine the performance loss rate (PLR). However, these two approaches are often handled separatel… Show more
