Review And Analysis Of Photovoltaic Arrays With Different Configuration System In Partial Shadowing Condition

Abstract

Renewable energy is the most explored field in recent times. Due to depletion of fossil fuel researchers are looking to explore the alternatives. Solar is the most promising source of green energy. However, the solar panels are mostly affected by partial shadowing which cannot be eliminated always and, may be considered as a part of life of a PV solar system. The impact on the energy yield is significant due to this partial shadowing. A lot of research work is going on to reduce this partial shadowing effect. One of the common processes to reduce the partial shadowing effect is reconfiguration of photovoltaic arrays. A significant work has done on this till date. In this paper, the detailed review of photovoltaic system with different array configurations under partial shading condition has been done. This paper, therefore, serves as a valuable reference to undertake mass research works in photovoltaic array configurations in the near future under partial shading condition.
