Innovative two-dimensional transmission-line systems for collecting di
stributed photovoltaic power are presented in this paper. Based on tra
nsmission-line theory and controlling the phase of a.c. sources, the n
et power of the proposed transmission-line type network can flow towar
ds the target load. The validity of the proposed system is confirmed b
y mathematical analysis and simulated results. This paper makes a cont
ribution to the concept of networks for the collection of renewable en
ergy.
