Integrated Fault Diagnosis and Control Design for DER Inverters using Machine Learning Methods

Abstract: This paper employs a supervised ML algorithm to propose an integrated fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategy to detect, diagnose, and classify the grid faults and correct the input voltage before affecting the grid-connected distributed energy resources (DER) inverters. This controller can mitigate the impact of grid faults on inverters by predicting and modifying the time series of their input voltage. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller and evaluate its operating performance.
