Chaotic spiral based reconfiguration scheme for the mitigation of power loss in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by Karthick. B, M. Sudhakaran

“…MATLAB based simulation for an (8 × 8) PV array under different partial shading has been considered with the comparison result of an experimental set up of (4 × 4) PV array using CSBSST; it is observed that the proposed CSBSST yields maximum Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) for all the cases. An economic analysis also highlights exactly how this method can improve efficiency of energy, improve the revenue and solidifies CSBSST as the solution to problems associated with partial shading in PV systems. …”
