Detection and Localization of Disconnections in a Large-Scale String of Photovoltaics Using SSTDR

In this paper, we explore the possibility of using spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR) for detecting disconnections in a large-scale photovoltaic (PV) array. We discuss the importance, role, and trade-offs of SSTDR resolution, frequency, and attenuation in detecting disconnects in the...

description In this paper, we explore the possibility of using spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR) for detecting disconnections in a large-scale photovoltaic (PV) array. We discuss the importance, role, and trade-offs of SSTDR resolution, frequency, and attenuation in detecting disconnects in the system. Our results show that if the proper system parameters are chosen, disconnections can be detected in a 1-kV system consisting of twenty-six 60-cell PV panels and located within 1.52 m for the first 22 modules.
