Mathematical analysis of total-cross-tied photovoltaic array under partial shading condition and its comparison with other configurations

The goal of this paper is to investigate total-cross-tied (TCT) configuration under partial shading condition. A full investigation requires mathematical analysis and simulation. An accurate mathematical analysis gives us a better understanding of how partial shading affects the output curves of the solar cell, so we first mathematically analyze the TCT (2×2) configuration under different partial shading conditions and then we check the...
