Photovoltaic Partial ShadingEdition 1

This text comprehensively discusses the modeling of photovoltaic (PV) modules, PV array interconnections, multi-level inverters, distributed maximum power point tracking techniques, and static and dynamic PV array reconfiguration techniques. It gives a step-by-step procedure for hardware validation of the partial shading mitigation techniques.

This book:

• Focuses on the impacts and mitigation techniques related to partial shading problems associated with PV systems.
• Presents a step-by-step guide for addressing partial shading problems in PV systems.
• Covers methods like array reconfiguration through Tom-Tom puzzle pattern and Arrow Sudoku pattern.
• Presents hardware validation of the partial shading mitigation techniques.
• Elaborates static and moving shading conditions in a detailed manner.

It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, environmental engineering, and renewable energy.
