Dutch scientists have developed a new algorithm to isolate shadow-related PV system malfunctions and estimate potential energy losses caused by shadowing.Scientists from Utrecht University in the Netherlands have created a shadow-detection algorithm for rooftop PV systems. They claim that it can detect the moments in which systems start to malfunction, while distinguishing shadows from other causes of malfunctions. The algorithm can be used for unsupervised, automated monitoring of partially shaded residential PV systems. The scientists claim that it can create a reference data set based on neighboring ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
