研究目的
To propose a new diffusion charge compensation strategy for power balancing in capacitor-less photovoltaic modules during partial shading, eliminating the need for bypass diodes and external storage devices, and to validate its effectiveness through simulation and experimental testing.
研究成果
The proposed DCC strategy effectively mitigates the partial shading effect in PV arrays by utilizing the inherent diffusion capacitance of modules for power balancing, eliminating the need for bypass diodes and external storage devices. It achieves higher conversion efficiency (nearly 98%) and simplifies the operation of MPPTs by forming single maxima in the characteristics curves during partial shading.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific types of PV modules (poly-crystalline and BSR based) and may not account for all possible shading scenarios in real-world applications. The experimental validation is conducted under controlled conditions, and the scalability of the DCC strategy to larger PV arrays requires further investigation.
