Performance of Photovoltaic Systems under Partial Shading Conditions: From Cell to System (SHADY-PV)
This project aims to systematically investigate and mitigate the effects of partial shading, bridging the gap between cell-level behavior and system-level performance.
Description
Partial shading is still one of the most critical and complex challenges affecting the performance and reliability of photovoltaic systems. This project aims to systematically investigate and mitigate the effects of partial shading, bridging the gap between cell-level behavior and system-level performance.
