Dropout and Pruned Neural Networks for Fault Classification in Photovoltaic Arrays

Automatic detection of solar array faults reduces maintenance costs and increases efficiency. In this paper, we address the problem of fault detection, localization, and classification in utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) arrays using machine learning methods. More specifically, we develop a series of...
