Cabling Constraints in PV Array Architecture: Design, Mathematical Model and Cost Analysis

Abstract: In this paper, cabling constraints of different photovoltaic (PV) configurations is addressed in three steps: 1) a cable selection criterion is developed in accordance with metric system defined by American Wire Gauge (AWG), 2) a mathematical model is designed, which estimates the cable length for any array size, and 3) cost functions are devised owing to estimate the cables capital expenditure. The aforementioned steps are developed for Series (S), Parallel (P), Series-Parallel (SP), Total-cross-tied (TCT), B… Show more

“…The system of nonlinear and implicit equations that describes the electrical behavior of string j at k-th IP is introduced in Equation ( 11), where the first n − 1 equations correspond to the implicit equations of the PV modules in the string (except module k), while the last equation is obtained by applying the Kirchhoff voltage law (KVL) to the string considering the definition of V n+1,j given in Equation (10). In expression (11), V m,k,j is an (n − 1) × 1 vector with the modules voltages (except V k,j ), and V a,k,j is the array voltage for the k-th IP.…”

“…Then, solving expression (11) for the n modules of the string j enables one to construct an n × 1 vector (V aIP,j ) with the array voltages as shown in Equation (13). Such a V aIP,j vector is used in Section 4.1 for the proposed modeling procedure of SP arrays.…”

“…Further, the generated photocurrent, I ph , ideality factor of the diode, µ, shunt resistance, R sh , series resistance, R s and the saturation current, I sat are the five parametric estimation values of the model. Albeit for simplicity, some studies neglect R p [55], [56] or both R p and R s [57].…”
