Abstract

This paper proposes a heuristic triple layered particle swarm optimization–back-propagation (PSO-BP) neural network method for improving the convergence and prediction accuracy of the fault diagnosis system of the photovoltaic (PV) array. The parameters, open-circuit voltage (V oc ), short-circuit current (I sc ), maximum power (P m ) and voltage at maximum power point (V m ) are extracted from the output curve of the PV array as identification parameters for the fault diagnosis system. This study compares performances of two methods, the back-propagation neural network method, which is widely used, and the heuristic method with MATLAB. In the training phase, the back-propagation method takes about 425 steps to convergence, while the heuristic method needs only 312 steps. In the fault diagnosis phase, the prediction accuracy of the heuristic method is 93.33%, while the back-propagation method scores 86.67%. It is concluded that the heuristic method can not only improve the convergence of the simulation but also significantly improve the prediction accuracy of the fault diagnosis system.
