Abstract
Partial shading cause significant losses to the performance of a photovoltaic (PV) system. So, it is imperative to study effects of partial shading; for that a two-diode model of the experimental setup made. Upon verifying the model with the experimental parameters, a MATLAB/Simulink model is made based on this model. Various shading patterns, the effect of bypass diodes; the effect of overlapping bypass diode is studied on this MATLAB/Simulink model. It is found out that the reduction in power loss is depended on the location of the shaded cell but not the area of the shaded cell. Also, the over-lapping bypass diode configuration has a slight improvement in the PV performance compared to the non-overlapping bypass diode configuration. An experimental test is also conducted by applying different shading pattern and they proves the results are compatible with the simulated results.
