Hardware Implementation of Sudoku, Optimal Sudoku, Sky-Scrapper, Novel Shade Dispersion and Magic Matrix Shifting PV Reconfiguration Techniques with MPPT Algorithm to Enhance Maximum Power

Abstract

This research paper investigates the performance of reconfiguration methods by integrating the MPPT algorithm. This study examines the performance of various PV array reconfiguration techniques based on power extraction, efficiency, and reliability. The effectiveness of reconfiguration methods has been evaluated through simulation, followed by hardware experimentation under partial shading cases. The methodology involves implementing and testing conventional TCT and other physical PV array reconfiguration methods by integrating the P&O MPPT algorithm with each reconfiguration method, and the performance of the combined system is evaluated under voltage and current curves, power extraction, MPPT tracking efficiency, and % steady state oscillations. Hardware experiments validate the proposed approach using a PV system prototype.
