Failure modes analysis and diagnostic architecture for photovoltaic plants

Failure modes analysis and diagnostic architectures are very interesting aspects for plants based on PV panel. In fact, these plants are called to operate for many years. The monitoring of plant parameters and performances is a very important task that can be obtained by means a well-designed monitoring system. This approach allows to improve complex system maintenance policies and, at the same time, to achieve a reduction of unexpected failure occurrences in the most critical components.
