Occurrence of partial shading and its high impact on the performance of photovoltaic (PV)
system have received considerable attention during the last few years. It has forced the …

RF harvesting circuits have been demonstrated for more than 50 years, but only a few have
been able to harvest energy from freely available ambient (ie, non-dedicated) RF sources. In …

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an integral part of a system of energy conversion
using photovoltaic (PV) arrays. The power-voltage characteristic of PV arrays operating …

Influenced by partial shade, PV module aging or fault, there are multiple peaks on PV array's
output power–voltage (P–V) characteristic curve. Conventional maximum power point …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are susceptible to power loss caused by environmental
factors such as partial shading and temperature changes. To address this issue, PV …

The proliferation of fossil fuels for power generation leads to their depletion besides
damaging the environment to a larger extent. In order to strive for a better environment, the …

This paper introduces a new model-based analytical method for locating the maximum
power point (MPP) of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels under partial shading conditions. It also …

This study proposes a novel control strategy to allow partially shaded photovoltaic power
plants (PV-PPs) to mitigate the detrimental effects on the frequency of power systems without …

As solar generation gains an increased importance in a smart grid, an efficient control of a
photovoltaic (PV) array has to be considered. However, energy efficiency of a PV array …

Experimental and simulation work were performed to study the effects of shading for different
strings inside photovoltaic (PV) panels under real outdoor environmental climate conditions …
