Due to the greater fluctuation of power data in photovoltaic power grids, traditional grid fault detection methods suffer from inefficiency, low accuracy, and inaccurate fault localization in photovoltaic scenarios. In this paper, a fuzzy control technique combined with an improved GABP neural network is used to identify potential fault nodes in the photovoltaic distribution network. The symmetric crossover operator of the genetic algorithm and the symmetry constraints of the neural network weight matrix are used to improve the model\u2019s ability to capture the symmetric fluctuation characteristics of photovoltaic data, while a classification module consisting of three fuzzy controllers is used for fault identification. The simulation results show that the recognition method proposed in this paper has good performance and the fault classification accuracy reaches 92.75%, which provides a practical reference value for the management of photovoltaic distribution network.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17091476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]],"date-time":"2025-09-08T08:06:32Z","timestamp":1757318792000},"page":"1476","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fault Identification Method for Photovoltaic Power Grids Based on an Improved GABP Neural Network and Fuzzy System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Dong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Grid Suzhou Power Supply Company, Suzhou 215000, China"}]},{"given":"Houtao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Grid Electric Power Research Institute, Beijing 211100, China"}]},{"given":"Zhongxiu","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NARI-TECH Nanjing Control Systems Ltd., Nanjing 211106, China"}]},{"given":"Yuanchen","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NARI-TECH Nanjing Control Systems Ltd., Nanjing 211106, China"}]},{"given":"Hongjun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NARI-TECH Nanjing Control Systems Ltd., Nanjing 211106, China"}]},{"given":"Qingwen","family":"Mou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NARI-TECH Nanjing Control Systems Ltd., Nanjing 211106, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119967","DOI":"10.1016\/j.renene.2024.119967","article-title":"Prediction of Photovoltaic power generation and analysis of carbon emission reduction capacity in China","volume":"222","author":"Liu","year":"2024","journal-title":"Renew.
