Experimental analysis to extract maximum power from PV array reconfiguration under partial shading conditions

An investigation of auto-reconfiguration scheme for interchanging the electrical connections of photovoltaic (PV) array of 3 × 3 size, from series-parallel (SP) to total cross-tied (TCT) configuration under partial shading conditions (PSCs) is presented. The progressive increment shading patterns- 1, 2 and 3 are considered for the extensive comparative analysis for experimental and MATAB/Simulink system. The experimental system comprises three...
