Abstract: Partial shading is one of the certain conditions in photovoltaic (PV) power plants. Often the panels get partially shaded due to soiling, clouds, and trees. The effect of shading is of high concern and importance especially in applications such as water pumps due to agricultural environments in which they are employed in. However, the research focus on PV fed pumps till date has been restricted to only uniform shading conditions. Unlike uniform shading conditions during maximum power tracking, where the panel voltage remains almost constant for an entire range of irradiance, partial shading offer conditions such as highly variable panel voltage and transitions of intermediate DC-DC power converter from continuous conduction mode to discontinuous conduction mode. These effects severely affect the performance of the power converter and, therefore, the power output of the pump. This paper presents a study on the effects caused by partial shading conditions on pumps through simulations and verified by experimentations. The simulation and experimental results are found to be in good agreement with each other. This research thus helps in understanding the detrimental effects caused by partial shading conditions and thus serves as a reference tool for practitioners who wish to study PV fed pumps. 1986-2012 IEEE.
