Mitigating the effect of partial shading by triple-tied configuration of PV modules (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kho, C. T. K., Ahmed, J., Then, Y. L., & Kermadi, M. (2018). Mitigating the effect of partial shading by triple-tied configuration of PV modules. In 2018 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC) (532-537). https://doi.org/10

Partial shading is the phenomenon, which occurs when PV modules receive irregular irradiance on a PV array. Due to that, shaded PV modules are bypassed by diodes and significant reduction in power is experienced. To counter such problem, PV modules a...
