    Predictive Maintenance Strategy for Photovoltaic Power Systems: Collaborative Optimization of Transformer-Based Lifetime Prediction and Opposition-Based Learning HHO Algorithm

    Wei Chen, Yang Wu*, Tingting Pei, Jie Lin, Guojing Yuan

    Energy Engineering, Vol.123, No.2, 2026, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.070905 - 27 January 2026

    Abstract In view of the insufficient utilization of condition-monitoring information and the improper scheduling often observed in conventional maintenance strategies for photovoltaic (PV) modules, this study proposes a predictive maintenance (PdM) strategy based on Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation. First, a RUL prediction model is established using the Transformer architecture, which enables the effective processing of sequential degradation data. By employing the historical degradation data of PV modules, the proposed model provides accurate forecasts of the remaining useful life, thereby supplying essential inputs for maintenance decision-making. Subsequently, the RUL information obtained from the prediction process is… More >

    Reliability-Based Model for Incomplete Preventive Replacement Maintenance of Photovoltaic Power Systems

    Wei Chen, Ming Li*, Tingting Pei, Cunyu Sun, Huan Lei

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.1, pp. 125-144, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.042812 - 27 December 2023

    Abstract At present, the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power generation systems mainly comprise regular maintenance, breakdown maintenance, and condition-based maintenance, which is very likely to lead to over- or under-repair of equipment. Therefore, a preventive maintenance and replacement strategy for PV power generation systems based on reliability as a constraint is proposed. First, a hybrid failure function with a decreasing service age factor and an increasing failure rate factor is introduced to describe the deterioration of PV power generation equipment, and the equipment is replaced when its reliability drops to the replacement threshold in the… More >
