RMS Current of a Photovoltaic Generator in Grid-Connected PV Systems: Definition and Application

This paper includes a definition of a new and original concept in the photovoltaic field, RMS current of a photovoltaic generator for grid-connected systems. The RMS current is very useful for calculating energy losses in cables used in a PV generator. As well, a current factor has been defined in...
