Reconfiguration methodology of shaded photovoltaic panels to maximize the produced energy

摘要

This paper presents the development of an automatic reconfiguration system for photovoltaic panels operating under shaded conditions in order to maximize power output. The main goal of the proposed system is to minimize the negative effects of shading, through the reconfiguration of the electrical connections of the panel. The automatic reconfiguration system is built with the aid of Rough Set Theory and its results are evaluated with computer simulations.
