Determination of the best shading pattern to maximize the power of TCT connected solar PV array during partial shading condition

In solar photovoltaic (PV) array, sometime it is seen that some parts of the array gets shaded due to the obstacles like trees, nearby houses, and pillars. This phenomenon is commonly known as partial shading. During partial shading, the efficiency of the solar PV array decreases severely. Because of that, the maximum power point (MPP) of the whole PV array decreases heavily. If the partial shading occurs in the same location for a longer period...
