چکیده
This paper proposes a heuristic triple layered particle swarm optimization–backpropagation (PSO-BP) neural network method for improving the convergence and prediction accuracy of the fault diagnosis system of the photovoltaic (PV) array. The parameters, open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Isc), maximum power (Pm) and voltage at maximum power point (Vm) are extracted from the output curve of the PV array as identification parameters for the fault diagnosis system. This study compares performances of two methods, the back-propagation neural network method, which is widely used, and the heuristic method with MATLAB. In the training phase, the back-propagation method takes about 425 steps to convergence, while the heuristic method needs only 312 steps. In the fault diagnosis phase, the prediction accuracy of the heuristic method is 93.33%, while the back-propagation method scores 86.67%. It is concluded that the heuristic method can not only improve the convergence of the simulation but also significantly improve the prediction accuracy of the fault diagnosis system.

The back propagation (BP) neural networks have been commonly used for automatic modulation recognition since the late 1990s. However, the back propagation algorithm easily falls into local minimum and the network learning is sensitive to initial weight values which usually determined by experience. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is a global heuristic searching technology. By co...

متن کاملA hybrid particle swarm optimization-back-propagation algorithm for feedforward neural network training
The particle swarm optimization algorithm was showed to converge rapidly during the initial stages of a global search, but around global optimum, the search process will become very slow. On the contrary, the gradient descending method can achieve faster convergent speed around global optimum, and at the same time, the convergent accuracy can be higher. So in this paper, a hybrid algorithm comb...
