An accurate method for MPPT to detect the partial shading occurrence in a PV system (2017)
Journal Article
Ahmed, J., & Salam, Z. (2017). An accurate method for MPPT to detect the partial shading occurrence in a PV system. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 13(5), 2151-2161. https://doi.org/10.1109/TII.2017.2703079

This paper proposes an accurate detection scheme that effectively differentiates the partial shading from the uniform change of irradiance. By doing so, it avoids the unnecessary global peak search which results in a drop of the maximum power point t...
