Recent meta-heuristic grasshopper optimization algorithm for optimal reconfiguration of partially shaded PV array

When solar radiation striking the PV modules inserted in PV array is non-homogeneous; then the partial shading operation is taken place. This phenomenon has negative effects on the efficiency of the PV array as the generated power is reduced, hot spots are generated; one solution to get rid of these negatives is the reconfiguration of modules such that distributing the solar radiation in regular form as much as possible. Therefore, this paper...
