Unified Machine Learning Based Fault Detection Strategy Through Voltage-Sensing for Both AC and DC Side Faults in Photovoltaic Farms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) farms, consisting of a vast number of solar panels, are widely recognized as a viable source of renewable power generation. However, fault detection and protection remain critical challenges in PV farms. Conventional methods such as over-current relays prove to be inadequate, leading to system disruptions. The intricate nature of PV arrays necessitates fast fault detection. This paper proposes a unified machine learning based approach which can detect various types of faults on both DC (PV) and AC (grid) sides, using just one voltage sensor per each side. Moreover, our proposed approach offers a viable solution for fault detection, classification, and protection solution in a unified framework. The proposed method has been evaluated with a simulation case study of a 500kW grid-connected PV farm model and achieves 94.33% accuracy in fault detection on AC side while could perfectly detect faults on the DC side.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
