Power enhancement of PV arrays in different configurations under different partial shaded condition

Among the most sustainable forms of energy, solar energy delivers clean, dependable, and limitless power. However, the PV arrays experience uneven irradiance as a result of partial shadowing situations, which causes several peaks in their PV characteristics. Reconfiguration alleviates mismatch loss and enhances power generation in partial shading. Compared to normal conditions, this partial shade scenario results in less power generation. In this proposed work, a 4 × 4 solar PV array is exposed to different partial shading conditions to identify the optimal arrangement, and various parameters like power losses, mismatch losses, and fill factors are found and compared with existing methods. The results of the comparisons and examines revealed that the reconfigured arrays deliver improved maximum global power values. This reconfiguration technique enhances an average power output by 18.37% thereby increasing in energy output of 293.2 kWh even under different partial shading conditions when compared to other conventional configuration methods.
