Arrow Summation Su-Do-Ku Game Inspired Optimization for PV Module Placement in Partially Shaded Arrays
摘要
Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate delivers electricity when exposes in sun irradiations and gaining more popularity as compared to other renewable sources. PV system is eco-friendly, easy to maintain, and efficient energy harvesters at low cost. Unfavorable climatic conditions like temperature and sun irradiation impair their functioning. Partial shading (PSCs) affects irradiance and reduces PV module performance, as seen by power loss (PL), power at global maximum power point (GMPP), fill factor (FF), and execution ratio (ER). The PV array re-configurations are best solution to reduce the PL and overall performance improvement during PSCs. In this study, an Arrow Summation Su-Do-Ku (AS-SDK) puzzle introduces for finding the optimal interconnections of PV modules in an array and effectively reduces the shadowing impact. Conventional interconnections, e.g., total-cross-tied (TCT), series–parallel (SP), and Su-Do-Ku (SDK) configurations (9 × 9 size) compared to the proposed AS-SDK based interconnection methodology. The proposed AS-SDK arrangement outperforms the others in terms of power at GMPP (297.6W, and 310.6W) during experimental study as carries out in the present study.
