Solar PV array reconfiguration using the concept of Standard deviation and Genetic Algorithm

Partial shading of PV arrays is one of the most discussed and worked upon problem in the field of solar photovoltaic as it reduces the output power and exhibits multiple peaks in the PV and IV characteristics. As, a result the modules have to be reconfigured to get a maximum power output. This paper presents an optimization based approach for Total cross tied (TCT) connected modules in a PV array. The physical locations of the modules remain...
