Abstract
The objective of this work is to study the effect of partial shading on a solar photovoltaic (PV) array configuration mathematically modeled in Matlab/Simulink. We will study five different photovoltaic array configurations 3x3: Series (S), Parallel (P), Series-Parallel (SP), Bridge-Link (BL) and Total-Cross-Tied (TCT). In this article we will simulate six partial shading cases (uniform, corner, center, uneven column, uneven row, diagonal, and frame).
The performance of five PV configurations is evaluated by the determination of open circuit voltages, short circuit currents, maximum powers, the corresponding maximum voltages and currents, the fill factor and mismatch power loss.
The results obtained for the PV array 3x3 configuration are an important guide that provides useful information on the performance of each PV array configuration under six shading scenarios.
