Optimal Interconnections among Partial Shaded Array Modules of T-C-T Solar Photovoltaic Array Configuration

摘要

In this paper, the Series-Parallel (SP) and Total-Cross-Tied (T-C-T) type of conventional solar photovoltaic (SPV) array configurations or topologies are considered for modeling and comparative analysis and the parameters mainly maximum power of array, shading losses, number of interconnections or ties between array SPV modules are compared with the proposed optimal configuration under six partial shading scenarios and one un shaded case. The proposed optimal topology, optimize the number of ties required among PV modules and improves the output power of SPV array as compare to TCT configuration and also minimizes the shading power losses. These optimal interconnections are based on the location of number of shaded modules in the SPV Array. For this study, the Vikram Solar ELDORA 270 PV modules are used for modeling and simulation of SP, TCT and proposed optimal topologies in MATLAB/ Simulink software.
