Intelligent DC Arc-Fault Detection with LD-Framework
This research introduces the LD-Framework, a novel approach for reliable DC arc-fault detection in residential PV-BESS systems. It addresses critical challenges like spectral interference, cross-hardware heterogeneity, and long-term operational drift, offering a lightweight, transferable, and self-adaptive solution for enhanced safety and performance.
Executive Impact & Key Metrics
The LD-Framework significantly enhances the reliability and adaptability of DC arc-fault detection in PV-BESS systems. It achieves near-perfect detection (0.9999 accuracy, 0% false-trip rate) across diverse operating conditions and hardware platforms, enabling seamless transferability with minimal target data (0.5%-1%). The self-adaptive mechanism recovers performance from 21% to 95% under unseen conditions, ensuring sustained reliability and reducing operational costs for deployment in dynamic real-world environments.

Reliable AFCI deployment faces intra-system variability (MPPT, load dynamics), cross-converter heterogeneity (hardware differences), and long-term temporal drift (aging, environmental changes). These factors degrade conventional AFCI performance.
LD-Spec is a microcontroller-efficient spectral backbone learning compact arc-discriminative frequency structure for robust on-device detection. It uses FFT-based features and a compact CNN, achieving near-perfect arc discrimination (0.9999 accuracy, 0.9996 F1-score) with 0% false-trip rate.
LD-Align performs cross-converter representation alignment, ensuring robust detection despite hardware-induced distribution shifts. It uses mixed-domain fine-tuning and source replay, enabling reliable adaptation with only 0.5%-1% labeled target data while preserving source performance.
LD-Adapt introduces a cloud-edge collaborative self-adaptive updating mechanism. It detects unseen operating conditions and performs controlled model evolution, recovering detection precision from 21% to 95% under novel conditions, ensuring long-term reliability.
