Diseño e implementación de un panel fotovoltaico reconfigurable que disminuya las pérdidas provocadas por sombreado parcial

Abstract

This work presents an alternative way of mitigation to the problem of photovoltaic module energy losses when its solar cells are exposed to partial shading. The work consists on the development of a model that predicts the electrical behavior of a photovoltaic module under any environmental condition, including partial shading. The design and implementation of a reconfigurable photovoltaic module and an algorithm that calculates the optimal cells connection are presented. Finally, the results under fixed and indirect shading tests obtained by a data acquisition system are also presented.
