Analysis of shading effects on a photovoltaic array

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a photovoltaic array under shading faults. Actually, the solar power generation systems use the photovoltaic (PV) effect to transform solar energy into electrical energy. The performance of a (PV) array is affected by temperature, solar irradiance, shading, and array configuration. In this study and in order to optimize the performance of a PV system, it must at first, aim the recognition of faults...
