Improved-Odd-Even-Prime Reconfiguration to Enhance the Output Power of Rectangular Photovoltaic Array under Partial Shading Conditions

The output power of a PV (photovoltaic) array decreases due to the partial shading condition (PSC). If one or more PV modules receives less irradiance compared to other PV modules in a PV array then it is called PSC. To enhance the output power of PV array under PSC, Sudoku, and Optimal Sudoku Reconfiguration techniques are available in the literature for perfect squared PV arrays, such as 4 × 4, 9 × 9, and 16 × 16. Odd–Even and Odd–Even–Prime reconfigurations are available for rectangular PV arrays. To enhance the output power of rectangular PV array further, this paper proposed a new reconfiguration technique called Improved Odd–Even–Prime reconfiguration. To validate the proposed method, two PV arrays 9 × 9 and 8 × 9 have been implemented.
