The floating photovoltaic (FPV) market has been expanding at an impressive rate over the
last decade, doubling its global installed capacity year after year. This growth was possible …

Partial shading in photovoltaic (PV) arrays renders conventional maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) techniques ineffective. The reduced efficiency of shaded PV arrays is a …

The power-voltage characteristic of photovoltaic (PV) arrays operating under partial-shading
conditions exhibits multiple local maximum power points (MPPs). In this paper, a new …

Partial shading of a photovoltaic array is the condition under which different modules in the
array experience different irradiance levels due to shading. This difference causes mismatch …

This paper applies a dynamical electrical array reconfiguration (EAR) strategy on the
photovoltaic (PV) generator of a grid-connected PV system based on a plant-oriented …

Non-uniform irradiance due to partial shading conditions (PSCs) reduces the power
delivered by the photovoltaic (PV) cell. The output power reduction in the PV arrays directly …

This paper proposes a novel Zig-Zag scheme of arrangement for the total cross tied
interconnection of photovoltaic modules for reducing partial shading losses and thus …

String inverter photovoltaic (PV) systems with bypass diodes require improved global
maximum power point tracking (GMPPT) algorithms to effectively reach the absolute …

The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods for the photovoltaic (PV) power system
have been considered by the experts in the whole world. A review of different MPPT …

The development of photovoltaic (PV) energy throughout the world this last decade has
brought to light the presence of module mismatch losses in most PV applications. Such …
