A detailed comparative analysis of different photovoltaic array configurations under partial shading conditions

The objective of this paper is to compare the performances of different photovoltaic (PV) array configurations (series, parallel, series-parallel, total-cross-tied, bridge-linked, and honey comb) and proposed hybrid configurations (series parallel–total cross tied, bridge linked–total cross tied, honey comb–total cross tied, and bridge linked–honey comb) under artificial and realistic partial shading conditions. The performances of all these...
