Abstract

Shading affects the solar photovoltaic panel output. Partial shading occurs due to dust, leaves, clouds, branches of trees, and buildings. It is the main reason behind hotspot formation, mismatch, and power loss. Due to variation of irradiance and temperature, photovoltaic (PV) efficiency and its performance decreases. The pattern of shading is the main cause of power loss during partial shading. To reduce the impact of shading, a reconfiguration is proposed and compared with traditional total cross-tied (TCT) configuration. In this paper, Advanced Sudoku reconfiguration pattern for 9 × 9 PV array is proposed. Five shading patterns are assessed for comparison of both reconfiguration techniques. The PV characteristics performance is executed on MATLAB/SIMULINK, and the results show that the proposed approach yields better result than the existing ones.
