Reconfiguration of Solar Photovoltaic Panels for Water Pumping Applications

Abstract

Fluctuating solar radiation greatly diminishes the output power from the solar photovoltaic modules. The most capable approach for improving the power output is considered as reconfiguration of solar photovoltaic modules through dynamically switching electrical connections. Efforts are made in this paper to discuss the current state of photovoltaic PV systems, sizing, optimizing and reconfiguration methodologies and recommended the efficient reconfiguration technique.
