A Robust Data-Driven Approach for Fault Detection in Photovoltaic Arrays

n this paper, a robust data-driven method for fault detectionin photovoltaic (PV) arrays is proposed. Our method is based onthe random vector functional-link networks (RVFLN) which has theadvantage of randomly assigning hidden layer parameters with no tuning. To eliminate the effect of measurement noise and overfitting in thetraining process...

Cyber-security Role in Enhancing Resilience

Cyber-threats are challenging the resilience of power systems in ways uncommon to ‘classic’ operational risks of equipment failures and natural disasters. As an example, consider an attacker who monitors operator actions after a cyber-attack and who persistently blocks any operator attempt to mitigate the impact of the attack. Such immediate...
