摘要:Dynamical electrical array reconfiguration strategies for grid-connected PV systems have been
proposed as solution to improve energy production due to the mismatch effect of PV plants
during partial shading conditions. Strategies are based on the use of dynamic connections
between PV panels given by the employment of switches that allow for each panel the series,
parallel or exclusion connections, physically changing the electrical connections between the
related PV modules, consequentially modifying the layout of the plant. Usually the cost of the
dynamic matrix is not taken into account. This novel work evaluates the economic advantages
obtained by the use of reconfiguration strategies in PV systems, by taking into consideration the
price of energy due to incentives in different European and non-European countries and
correlates it with the employment of two types of reconfigurators, with different internal
structures. For each of the incentives proposed by the different Countries, the main strength
and weakness points of the possible investment are highlighted and critically analyzed. From this
analysis, it can be stated that the adoption of reconfiguration systems, in certain cases, can be
a very convenient solution.
