Modeling, simulation and performance analysis of solar PV array configurations (Series, Series–Parallel and Honey-Comb) to extract maximum power under Partial Shading Conditions

The main design objective of the solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is to extract the maximum power from the PV systems for a long time. The amount of power extracted from the PV array can be affected by temperature, solar irradiation, dust accumulation, wind speed, PV array configuration and shading pattern. Often, the PV arrays are completely or partially shadowed and has been recognized as a major challenging concern which can reduce the output...
