An improved method to predict the position of maximum power point during partial shading for PV arrays (2015)
Journal Article
Ahmed, J., & Salam, Z. (2015). An improved method to predict the position of maximum power point during partial shading for PV arrays. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 11(6), 1378-1387. https://doi.org/10.1109/TII.2015.2489579

For a photovoltaic (PV) system, it is widely assumed that the peaks of a partially shaded P-V curve are located at the multiples of 0.8V oc , where V oc is the open-circuit voltage of the PV module. However, this assumption - known as the of 0.8V oc... Read More about An improved method to predict the position of maximum power point during partial shading for PV arrays.
