Shade dispersion methodologies for performance improvement of classical total cross‐tied photovoltaic array configuration under partial shading conditions

Large size photovoltaic (PV) systems face a large number of issues based on malfunction and unfavourable climatic conditions such as partial shading (PSCs). These PSCs are the major causes PV systems’ performance degradation. In this paper, symmetric matrix (SM) game puzzle is used to reconfigure electrical connections array system. Present shade dispersion methodology ‘physical reallocation module-fixed connections’ principle. Modification in conventional total cross-tied (TCT) configuration introduces new ‘SM-TCT’ configuration. An extensive comparative study TCT novel-TCT (NTCT) configurations with proposed SM-TCT prove effectiveness achieve higher performance. The MATLAB/Simulink results obtained basis non-linear nature current-voltage power-voltage characteristics. SM-TCT, Shape-do-Ku, NTCT examined under three realistic terms power voltage at global maximum point, improved fill factor, reduced losses, ratio enhancement.
