Abstract

When Photovoltaic (PV) strings are under partial shading conditions, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curve shows multiple stairs, which brings challenges to power management, especially in real-Time. In this paper, a characteristic matrix is used to characterize the multi-peak current-voltage characteristics curve. In addition, a light characteristics identification algorithm is proposed to extract the characteristic matrix from the measured I-V data. The proposed algorithm only requires limited points in the I-V curve, and the information of turning points on the I-V curve can be estimated. The technique has been evaluated under four environmental conditions in experiments, and the results verify the accuracy of the proposed method.
