Partial shading, nevertheless, is an essential problem which affects the productivity and life of PV plants. PV reconfiguration is known as a powerful technique to resolve this effect. It is achieved by rearranging the PV modules according to their temperature and levels of shade. Therefore, in this paper, we have utilized three simple population-based optimization algorithms that are known as the flow regime algorithm (FRA), the social mimic optimization algorithm (SMO), and the Rao optimization algorithm to dynamically restructure the PV array. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is evaluated using several metrics such as fill factor, mismatch losses, percentage of power loss, and percentage of power enhancement. Besides, the results obtained are compared with a regular total-cross-tied (TCT) connection and recently published techniques such as the competence square (CS) and genetic algorithm (GA). Furthermore, to demonstrate the suitability of proposed approaches in real-time implementation, real-time irradiation data of a particular location are considered and fed into the proposed algorithms for effective shade dispersion. After successful shade dispersion, the total energy generated using the three proposed algorithms is calculated and compared with the TCT reconfigured system for one year. The presented energy calculations and revenue generation confirm that the power produced by the proposed FRA technique is 13% higher than that generated by the TCT configuration. Furthermore, the presented PV characteristics show a reduced number of multiple peaks in the system. Thus, the proposed FRA technique can be endorsed as a technique that is superior to other existing methods. � 2013 IEEE.
