Outdoor Testing of Photovoltaic Modules and Arrays

1987
As a part of the French program on photovoltaic energy, the Agence Francaise pour la Maitrise de l’Energie (AFME) and the Commissariat a l’Energie Atomique (CEA) have established at Cadarache a testing facility for photovoltaic components and systems to conduct performance measurements under outdoor conditions.

Modified particle swarm optimization method for MPPT in photovoltaic module arrays

2016 IEEE 14th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN), 2016
This paper first is to study the output characteristics of partial photovoltaic module array under shading. Then, it applies the modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) to track the maximum power point (MPP) of characteristic curve with peaks. The MPSO makes the weighting and cognition learning factor decrease along with the increasing of iteration

Solar Cell Materials, Photovoltaic Modules and Arrays

2016
The photon energy (\(h \nu\)) of solar radiation in visible wavelengths creates ionization in the depletion region of the n–p junction of solar cells for generating direct (dc) power (current × voltage) to meet the basic high-grade energy demand of human beings in underdeveloped regions for rural applications.

Analysis of photovoltaic array with reconfigurable modules under partial shading

2012 38th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, 2012
Partial shading across solar arrays can significantly deteriorate maximum generated power. Typical arrays implementing a parallel-in-series architecture have bypass diodes integrated in the modules to reduce the effects of partial shading. In this paper, analysis is performed on the effectiveness of improving maximum power of a solar array comprising ...

Flexible fluorine-based micro-lens arrays for photovoltaic modules

2012 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference (NMDC2012), 2012
We present the first flexible micro-lens arrays designed for photovoltaic modules that utilize fluorine-based film. These micro-lens are fabricated as a key component of increasing electric generation in the fluorine-based film. The rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) method was used for optical simulation.

Module block fault locating strategy for large-scale photovoltaic arrays

Energy Conversion and Management, 2020
Abstract In practical grid-connected photovoltaic systems, faulty modules for small-scale photovoltaic arrays need to be accurately located, while the same strategy to locate each faulty module for large-scale arrays would imply high investment cost due to a large number of sensors needed.

The optimal configuration of photovoltaic module arrays based on adaptive switching controls

Energy Conversion and Management, 2015
Abstract This study proposes a strategy for determining the optimal configuration of photovoltaic (PV) module arrays in shading or malfunction conditions. This strategy was based on particle swarm optimization (PSO). If shading or malfunctions of the photovoltaic module array occur, the module array immediately undergoes adaptive reconfiguration to ...
