“…The aim is to determine the parameters of the model in such a way that the obtained I-V curve corresponds exactly to the experimental curve [25], as shown in Figure 4. Equation of the I-V characteristics is as follows [1], [22][23][24]: The circuit consists of a photo current source IRR, two diodes, a parallel resistance Rp, and a series resistance Rs. For the two-diode model, the I-V characteristic equation is given as follows [1], [24], [26]:…”

“…Maximum power point tracking system can extract and deliver the maximum power in all-weather situations and operate PV panels at the maximum power [1][2]. To test the high performance of MPPT techniques, researchers and professionals often use simulation software and tools, such as Matlab-Simulink, PSIM or Proteus [1], [3]. In literature, several MPPT algorithms have been presented and discussed.…”

This study examines the performance of the MPPT Proteus model. The high performance of this model was proposed for a photovoltaic system and tested using the most commonly known MPPT techniques. The proposed Proteus model is a simulator of a maximum power point tracking system for a photovoltaic panel connected to the DC-DC converter with digital control. The Proteus software performs simulation and implementation of the photovoltaic panel model based on a one-diode model and a two-diode model with high accuracy. Both photovoltaic panel models were validated by experimental measurements. Simulation results for tracking voltage, tracking current and tracking power show that this model performs satisfactorily. The theoretical evaluation confirms the high performance of the MPPT Proteus model, which offers a high degree of control and planning.

Review transcript presents copious solar tracking methods to investigate their output potential and also outline tracker type, construction, cost, and design parameter. The solar follower systems encompassed five classifications based on the tracking methods are active, passive, semi-passive, manual, and chronological tracking are also reviewed with their application and feasibility. These all method-based research paper are compared on the basis of complexity of circuit, cost, tracking based on (radiation or astronomical equation), degree of freedom, control strategy, accuracy, energy intact, power or energy gain, tracing error, and panel efficiency. Basically, one axis and two axis sun following system review revels compare study against stable system which addressed their suitability and capability of maximum energy generation and MPPT technologies.

“…An SPV simulator using a nonlinear DC power source for high-power application was also suggested in [18]. There are also hardware-based solutions based on high-frequency switching power converters, such as those proposed by [19][20][21]. Other low-cost solutions mixing hardware and software were also developed.…”

Solar photovoltaic simulators are valuable tools for the design and evaluation of several components of photovoltaic systems. They can also be used for several purposes, such as educational objectives regarding operation principles, control strategies, efficiency, maintenance, and other aspects. This paper presents an automated solar photovoltaic simulation system with the capability to generate automated tests considering different parameters of solar photovoltaic panels and different operation conditions. The proposed simulator is composed of three buck-boost DC–DC power converters controlled in such a way that will behave similarly to solar photovoltaic panels. It allows to introduce additional variable loads and maximum power point tracker algorithms similar to real systems. Some converters are controlled by a DSP microcontroller connected to a single programmable logic controller which generates the automated tests. Thus, using the presented solution, it is possible to implement the I-V and P-V characteristic curves of solar photovoltaic panels and evaluate different maximum power point tracker algorithms considering different meteorological conditions and load variations, being a useful tool to teach subjects related to renewable energy sources and related applications. Several simulation results using Matlab/Simulink and experimental results are presented to validate the operation of the proposed solution. Experimental results achieve a ripple between 2% and 5% of the desired average current in MPP conditions.
