A Comparative Study of Various SuDoKu Algorithms for Improvement of Generated Power Under Partial Shading Conditions

Photovoltaic arrays are susceptible to a phenomenon known as partial shadowing/mismatch conditions, which can result in considerable power losses and a shortened lifespan for the photovoltaic arrays. The partial shadowing conditions on the PV array are decreased by methods like SuDoKu-based reconfiguration, which may provide a solution to rearrange the connections between the PV modules in the PV array. SuDoKu-based reconfiguration must be modified to optimize output power because it can't always distribute partial shading. This paper presents various puzzle patterns, which are found in literature that are based on the SuDoKu pattern. By implementing the latest SuDoKu-based reconfiguration pattern, it is found that power generated by PV cells is increased while at the same instance, shadow was uniformly spread.
