Dynamic Reconfigurable Photovoltaic Array Architectures a Review
摘要
Mismatch losses significantly reduce the output power of photovoltaic (PV) arrays. Among available mismatch mitigate techniques, the dynamic reconfigurable photovoltaic array (DRPVA) architectures can be considered as a promising technique to compensate the power losses. In contrast to fixed photovoltaic architectures, the DRPVA architectures modify dynamically the interconnections between the PV modules of the same PV array (PVA) according to the operating conditions. This paper presents the different approaches of DRPVA architectures proposed in the literature. These approaches are classified according to the reconfiguration strategy adopted and compared in terms of power enhancement, topology used, and additional material required. Through this study, the main constraints limiting the DRPVA efficiency are determined and discussed.
