Optimal switch configuration design for reconfigurable photovoltaic modules

摘要: PV module reconfiguration techniques have been proposed to combat the partial shading effect. These can adaptively change configuration according pattern. A reconfigurable is designed by integrating three programmable switches with each macro-cell. The then realized controlling ON/OFF states of switches. To reduce additional capital cost induced switches, we propose optimize switch configurations, i.e., derive required number MOSFETs in based on maximum current passing through that switch, a module. optimal design combined optimization macro-cell size make achieve performance enhancement under while satisfying constraint
