Analysis of ludo-shaped configuration of PV arrays under different partial shaded configuration

The demand for electric power generation increases every day. Electric power is generated through using thermal, hydro, thermal, and nuclear energy and so on. However, the availability of these resources made us to depend on renewable energy sources for power generation. The PV arrays are installed in lot of applications either by grid connection or by stand-alone. Partial shading conditions cause less power generation from the PV arrays when compared to normal power generation. In this proposed work, an experimental setup of a 4X4 PV array is considered for analysis and LUDO shaped reconfiguration pattern is considered under different partial shaded conditions, the power losses and mismatch losses are found. When the compared with the existing methods the proposed method reduces the mismatch losses and thereby the power is enhanced twice in inverse short shading pattern. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
