Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the effect of varying temperature on different photovoltaic (PV) array configurations: Series (S), Parallel (P), Series-Parallel (SP), Total-Cross-Tied (TCT), Bridge-Linked (BL), Honey-Comb (HC) and proposed hybrid configurations: Series ParallelTotal Cross Tied (SPTCT), Bridge Linked-Total Cross Tied (BLTCT), Honey Comb-Total Cross Tied (HCTCT) and Bridge Linked-Honey Comb (BLHC) under partial shading condition. The results for these PV array configurations, under partial shading condition, corresponding to a general shading pattern with bypass diodes by varying temperature from 0° C to 75° C generated in MATLAB are obtained. The analysis of effect of varying temperature on these PV array configurations has been accomplished by considering PV arrays of dimensions 6 × 4 and 8 × 4, made of KD260GX-LFB2 PV modules. The P — V characteristics generated in MATLAB for different PV array configurations, under partial shading condition, corresponding to a general shading pattern with bypass diodes by varying temperature are validated against the experimental data of PV arrays of dimension (8 × 4), made of KD260GX- LFB2 PV modules.
