Fault detection in photovoltaic (PV) arrays is a critical challenge for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of PV power systems. To address this issue, this study presents a deep learning-based approach by introducing a hybrid CNN-GRU-Attention model. The proposed model combines a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for spatial feature extraction from PV array output characteristics, a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to capture temporal dependencies in fault signals, and an attention mechanism to dynamically prioritize significant features. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model significantly outperforms traditional methods in terms of both detection accuracy and generalization ability for common PV array faults, such as short-circuits, open-circuits, aging, and partial shading. This approach offers a robust technical foundation for enhancing intelligent maintenance in PV plants.

摘要

Fault detection in photovoltaic (PV) arrays is a critical challenge for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of PV power systems. To address this issue, this study presents a deep learning-based approach by introducing a hybrid CNN-GRU-Attention model. The proposed model combines a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for spatial feature extraction from PV array output characteristics, a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to capture temporal dependencies in fault signals, and an attention mechanism to dynamically prioritize significant features. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model significantly outperforms traditional methods in terms of both detection accuracy and generalization ability for common PV array faults, such as short-circuits, open-circuits, aging, and partial shading. This approach offers a robust technical foundation for enhancing intelligent maintenance in PV plants.
