Reconfigurable solar photovoltaic systems: A review

Even though solar power generation has become an emerging trend in the world, its penetration into the utility grid as a distributed generation source is not a satisfactory measure due to the inherent issues related to solar photovoltaic systems (SPVSs). In addressing these issues, microgrids have b...

description Even though solar power generation has become an emerging trend in the world, its penetration into the utility grid as a distributed generation source is not a satisfactory measure due to the inherent issues related to solar photovoltaic systems (SPVSs). In addressing these issues, microgrids have been identified as suitable integrating platforms for distributed, clean energy resources such as SPV. Different SPV and microgrid architectures are available for different applications depending on the resource availability and controllability. Reconfigurability is a concept that makes a system adaptable to two or more different environments by effectively utilizing the available resources. The review explains the applications of reconfigurable approaches on solar PV systems such as reconfigurable PV arrays, power conditioning unit (DC/DC converter, DC/AC inverter), microgrid controller and topology of distribution network with relevant studies. An analysis is also presented considering the unique features of reconfigurable systems in comparison to the static systems.
