Abstract

Partial shading in solar photovoltaic arrays reduce the maximum power produced. Partial shading conditions in PV arrays can be caused by water, dust, tree shadows, bird-drops, nearby building, etc. Special configuration is needed to reduce the effect of partial shadings. In this study, 8 × 8 symmetric photovoltaic arrays configured in different configurations such series-parallel (SP), total cross-tied (TCT), modified complementary sudoku puzzle (MCSDKP) and symmetric matric total cross-tied (SMTCT) are studied under row shading of 25% shaded area and 50% shaded area with two different shading irradiance conditions of uniform shading irradiance and non-uniform shading irradiance. All of the performance results are carried out by MATLAB/Simulink. This study shows that advanced total cross-tied based configurations perform higher than other configurations in all conditions. The objective of this study is to understand the importance of array configurations and to get maximum power under partial shaded conditions.
