Abstract
The objective of this paper is to study the energy performance and electrical behavior of possible configurations for photovoltaic Arrays under different partial shading scenarios in order to determine the most suitable and cost effective configuration. The studied configurations in this work are: Series (S), parallel (P), series-parallel (SP), Total Cross Tied (TCT), Bridge Linked (BL) and Honey-Comb (HC). The simulation results provide information on the electrical behavior and energy efficiency of PV Arrays under different scenarios of partial shading and in uniform conditions.
Highlights
Solar energy is one of the most abundant sources of renewable energy on earth with an annual amount of 5.46x1024 J (Ajiwiguna, 2016)
We present the study of the energy performance of six possible configurations for photovoltaic Arrays under different partial shading scenarios
The partial shading scenarios tested in our case are as follows:
Summary
Solar energy is one of the most abundant sources of renewable energy on earth with an annual amount of 5.46x1024 J (Ajiwiguna, 2016). In order to obtain high powers at a suitable voltage, the PV modules are combined to form a photovoltaic field. We present the study of the energy performance of six possible configurations for photovoltaic Arrays under different partial shading scenarios.
