Photovaltaic(PV) power generation has been the fastest growing energy source in recent years. ?With rapid growth, risk management of this highly penetrated energy resource is required. ?Conventional methods conduct measurement by gradually shedding the load to obtain the current-voltage characteristics of panels. ?This method is expensive because it affects the power generation process. ?Other method like impedance spectroscopy, while highly precise, requires relatively expensive setup. ?This invention offers a non-invasive method of online data acquisition and onsite data analysis using CI(Computer Intelligence). ?This will allow minimally-interrupted power generation while the health of panels are monitored and predicted.
