Abstract
Influenced by partial shade, there are power losses induced by irradiation reduction, photovoltaic (PV) modules mismatch and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) failure. In order to raise power generation efficiency of building integrated PV (BIPV) power station, typical series-parallel PV array controlled with centralized MPPT is taken into consideration. Simulation model is constructed to describe the output characteristic of PV array under complex partial shade conditions. Due to bypass/blocking diodes, there are multiple peaks on P-V characteristic curve under partial shade. Potential power losses under partial shade are analyzed and divided into three parts respectively. Simulation results demonstrate that there are considerable power losses induced by PV module mismatch under determined tangible partial shade lasting for long time. Optimal configuration of BIPV array are brought forward to minimize PV module mismatch power loss for moving shade conditions, and it is also suitable to large desert or hillside PV power stations.
