Analysis and Simulation of Faults in PV Arrays for Reliable and Efficient Operation

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) systems are gaining importance as reliable green source of energy, However they are susceptible to many types of faults, which drastically reduce the reliability and efficiency. This work analyzes different types of faults on the PV system like partial shading, open circuit and short circuit conditions. The severity of these faults are simulated using MATLAB simulations. Based the P-V curves the effectiveness of the fault is identified. This timely identification is significant to enhance the reliability of the system. This effective detection of fault improves the overall system performance by minimizing the losses and improving the overall system efficiency.
