Modelling, parameter estimation and assessment of partial shading conditions of photovoltaic modules

Abstract This paper proposes a method for assessing the effect that different features of partial shading conditions (PSC) may have on the operation of a photovoltaic (PV) system. Simulation studies, based on an experimentally validated model of a PV system, are used to assess the influence of PSC....
