Abstract
Photovoltaic systems, whether they are domestic, commercial or industrial often incorporate some forms of system protection. However, elaborate real-time fault detection is not defined for most such systems. To address this shortfall, a comprehensive photovoltaic installation system fault detection and control strategy is presented in this paper. The designed system is made up of fault detection in any of one of the photovoltaic system components that include the solar panel, charge controller, battery and inverter. The system also includes battery and user load current control. Fuzzy logic principle, due to its powerful non-linear problem solving capabilities is used in formulation of the fault detection and control algorithms as opposed to the classical method. This results in simpler, cheaper and faster hardware, which in this case is implemented on the PIC18F4550 microcontroller.
