Abstract
This chapter introduces a reconfigurable photovoltaic (PV) cell array for adaptive and fault-tolerant energy harvesting in view of component modeling, architectures, properties, and reconfigurable algorithms for partial shading and fault tolerance. On top of traditional PV cell array-based energy harvesting research, the dynamically reconfigurable PV cell array gives additional significant benefits in both efficiency and cost. This is a representative example of how electronics design automation contributes to various problems in other domains.
