Experimental data for Mismatching Faults of Photovoltaic Modules
Description
This dataset collects and classifies mismatching failures in solar panels, focusing on three main types: partial shading, discoloration, and cracking. The panels, SP090P Solar Plus Energy and HYBRYTEC-M5-30/12, were subjected to testing under three distinct scenarios: dirty surfaces, clean surfaces, and partial shading. For each fault condition, voltage and current measurements are included, along with thermographic images, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the impact of these mismatches on panel performance. This database is designed to support investigations and mitigation strategies for PV system failures. The dataset is divided into raw data and processed data. The time series of electrical data for each panel and each condition are saved using matlab .mat format, SVG images of the I-V curves are also included. Thermographic images are included in IS2 format (viewable using Fluke Connect Desktop), as well as CSV matrices of the temperature quantities.
