Abstract
The world depends heavily on electrical energy for accessing technologies. For the generation of electricity, technology can utilize renewable energy sources like solar energy and wind energy. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems occupy space among consumers due to their feasibility, flexibility, cost, and simple implementation procedures. The solar PV system experiences many factors causing power loss like partial shading, hotspots, and diode failure. In this work, a new static PV array configuration, named Renzoku puzzle pattern-based array configuration, is proposed. This proposed configuration technique was designed to overcome the drawbacks of the previously proposed array configurations in terms of power generation, fewer mismatch losses, a high shade-dispersion rate, and consistent performance under any level of partial shading. The proposed array configuration has been validated using both simulation and hardware. The simulation is carried out in a 9 × 9 PV array in MATLAB/Simulink®. The performance analysis, results, and corresponding characteristic curves are presented in this manuscript.
