Design and intelligent control of building integrated photovoltaic system

The concept of building an integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system attracts increasing attention due to its promising performance in energy-saving. However, the efficiency of the BIPV system may rapidly deteriorate when the photovoltaic (PV) array is partially shaded by clouds and shadows of the surrounding buildings. This paper presents a novel configuration of a large-scale BIPV system, and the intelligent maximum power point tracking approach...
