To improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis in photovoltaic arrays
a strategy is proposed to optimize the Long Short-Term Memory network (LSTM) using the Cauchy Gaussian Mutation Artificial Rabbit Algorithm (CGARO) to achieve efficient diagnosis of multiple types of composite faults in photovoltaic arrays. Firstly
in order to the problem of getting trapped in local optima in the artificial rabbit optimization (ARO)
a Cauchy Gaussian mutation artificial rabbit algorithm is proposed. Comparative analysis was conducted between CGARO and ARO
Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA)
and Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm(GWO) to verify the effectiveness of CGARO algorithm. Then
the CGARO algorithm was optimized to optimize the parameters and learning rate of LSTM
and a CGARO-LSTM photovoltaic array fault diagnosis model was established. Based on four types of single faults and three types of composite faults
the CGARO-LSTM model was compared with LSTM
SSA-LSTM
GWO-LSTM
and ARO-LSTM. The results showed that the CGARO-LSTM model had better performance
with an accuracy of 97.75%
significantly improving the accuracy of photovoltaic array fault diagnosis.
