Abstract

The power produced through the photovoltaic (PV) plants is exposed to mismatch/partial shading scenarios, the actual position of the panel and connection scheme of the PV array. Consequently, peak power point tracking becomes complex owing toward the existence of compound maxima in power–voltage characteristics. There are different connection schemes of PV array, available in literature particularly series–parallel (S-P), honeycomb (H-C), bridge link(B-L). Then total cross tied (T-C-T) regularly used during partial shading scenarios. For each of the abovementioned connections, the scheme has relative benefits and drawbacks. In this paper, all conventional connection schemes are reconfigured by the odd–even arrangement. A 6 × 6 PV array is considered for investigation for two severe partial shading scenarios. The odd–even reconfiguration arrangement scatters the influence of intense shading over complete PV array and hence reduces the mismatch losses. The global maxima move close to the typical functional point as all strings contribute to overall instantaneous power generation. The results obtained present the improvement with reference to fill factor, peak power yield and the amount of multiple maxima.
