Dataset of \Partial Shading Losses in Half-Cut PV Modules: Experiments, Circuit Simulation, and an Analytical Loss Function\

Dataset and Simulation FilesThis dataset accompanies the paper \Partial Shading Losses in Half-Cut PV Modules: Experiments, Circuit Simulation, and an Analytical Loss Function\ (accepted with revisions by IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, not yet published). The data and related program files are made publicly available here. This repository also includes Figure 2 and Figure 4 from the paper. For the complete article, please obtain it through the publisher according to their regulations. \/DataSet FolderContains the data used to generate Figure 4 in the paper. Note that these are averaged measurement values, not raw measurement data. The data covers 4 different shading ratios across various coverage areas (Case 1 to Case 6), with comparisons between experimental measurements and LTSpice simulations. File naming convention: Files like Ave_A-1.xlsx contain measurement dataFiles like A_1.txt contain LTSpice simulation dataAll files present I-V curve valuesShading ratio codes (yeah, the naming order isn't great, but it is what it is): A = 100% shading ratioB = 25% shading ratioC = 50% shading ratioD = 75% shading ratioCase numbers: _1 to _6 correspond to Case 1 through Case 6Special files: Ave_0-0.xlsx and 0_0.txt: No shading (baseline)Ave_FullyCover.xlsx: Module fully covered with a black blanket\/LTSpice_Model FolderWe've provided an LTSpice model for the 25% shading Case 1 scenario. This includes the complete module circuit model and its components, specifically the half-cut cell circuit models.
