Abstract

Photovoltaic system is most popular renewable source of energy due to its widespread availability and comparatively easier conversion into electrical energy. Solar energy is also environmentally friendly in comparison with traditional energy sources. Solar energy is also expected to become viable source of energy in coming future. However, there are still some serious problems with photovoltaic systems that must be investigated and solutions sought. Partial shading conditions (PSCs) are one of the most serious issues with photovoltaic systems, as they can cause serious damage to the PV array by causing hotspots and reducing the PV array’s ability to generate maximum power. In this paper, series–parallel and bridge link configuration of 3 × 3 PV array are modeled and simulated under different partial shading conditions, the resulting current voltage and power voltage characteristics are analyzed, and photovoltaic system's performance is compared. For the simulation, MATLAB/Simulink software is used.
