The output power of a PV (photovoltaic) array decreases due to the partial shading condition (PSC). If one or more PV modules receives less irradiance compared to other PV modules in a PV array then it is called PSC. To enhance the output power of PV array under PSC, Sudoku, and Optimal Sudoku Reconfiguration techniques are available in the literature for perfect squared PV arrays, such as 4×4, 9×9, and 16×16. Odd–Even and Odd–Even–Prime reconfigurations are available for rectangular PV arrays. To enhance the output power of rectangular PV array further, this paper proposed a new reconfiguration technique called Improved Odd–Even–Prime reconfiguration. To validate the proposed method, two PV arrays 9×9 and 8×9 have been implemented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
