Hardware approach to mitigate the effects of module mismatch in a grid-connected photovoltaic system: A review

This study reviews the hardware approach to mitigate the effects of module mismatch in a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. Unlike software solutions, i.e. the maximum power tracking algorithm, hardware techniques are well suited to enhance energy yield because of their inherent ability to ext...
