For tropical climate condition, most of the related studies were on fault detection with very few were on failure detection (FD). Therefore, the aim of the study is to identify a fast, simple, and reliable method of FD on GCPV system in Malaysia. The objectives were: to develop the FD algorithm in GCPV system, to identify the types of fault occurrence in FD in GCPV system, and to verify the FD algorithm to be performed in Malaysian climate. The sources of data in this study were obtained from five sites in the testing and commissioning (T&C) of PV systems from Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) scheme under Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA), and Green Energy Research Centre (GERC) Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. Two additional sites from T&C of the FiT scheme were used for the verification of the new developed FD algorithm. These sites are in the Peninsular of Malaysia. Filtration and identification processes were performed to ensure the selection of reliable data. The FD algorithm has employed mathematical and statistical approaches to establish the relationship between the parameters. A modified threshold-based technique was used to build the FD algorithm based on data from PV system installed at GERC UiTM, Malaysia. The establishment of threshold value for DC array current ratio, Rc and DC string voltage ratio, Rv is optimal for the used in Malaysian climate conditions. The threshold value for Rc and Rv is 0.9721 and 0.9410, respectively. The results have shown the FD algorithm has successfully identified the types of failure occurrence in all the five PV systems. Finally, the verification on the two additional sites of FD algorithm has detected the 'No Fault' and 'Fault' as suggested by the type of failure occurrence and failure identification technique. 2020-07 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/35004/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/35004/1/35004.pdf text en public phd doctoral Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Applied Science Zakaria, Nor Zaini Ikrom (Associate Professor Dr. )
