Abstract:
Solar photovoltaic system is an emerging technology for
renewable power source, but some natural and undesirable
changes like shadows of tower, trees, buildings, passing clouds,
brings major losses in power. In order to overcome this issue,
two different interconnection schemes are studied and compared
between each other. Minimum distance Average (MDA) is a
method based on clustering algorithm used to improve the
power loss for different shading conditions. Fair Division
Method (FDM) is yet another method which is found to be
efficient in partially shaded conditions. These two methods are
examined under four shaded patterns, Short narrow (SN), Short
wide (SW), Long narrow (LN), Long wide (LW). The
performances of each method are studied and compared using
Monte Carlo Estimator (MCE) and the results are presented
based on the working of proposed methods.
