Modelling of Photovoltaic Module

Abstract

This paper proposes a review of the main characteristics and parameters that have to considered modelling a photovoltaic module. For the study it will be left from the photovoltaic cell, fundamental element of the conversion of light to electrical current.Also, a photovoltaic model using Matlab, which can be representative of PV cell and module, is presented. The created model has been based on previous studies. With the information of those previous models, curves IV and PV have been calculated comparing the results to each other. Also, the MPP of all the models has been calculated. Finally, the model has been validated with experimental data of a commercial PV module, Mitsubishi PV-TD1185MF5.

Design of a Grid-connected Photovoltaic Inverter with Maximum Power Point Tracking using Perturb and Observe Technique

“…Due to the availability and its clean nature, solar energy is one of the most favorable forms of renewable energy. Photovoltaic (PV) systems [1][2][3][4] are constantly being improved to be more efficient. As the outputs of the solar panel are irregular and fluctuate with changing irradiance, optimal operations of the panels are required.…”

Analysis of a Three-Phase Grid-Connected PV Power System Using a Modified Dual-Stage Inverter

“…In a more complete version, the equivalent circuit of Figure 10 has two electrical resistors, and [63][64][65]. According to [66,67], both resistors can be neglected.…”

Effect of Air Channel Depth and Mass Flow Rate on the Efficiency of Hybrid Thermal - Photovoltaic Sensor

“…G is the illumination (W.m -2 ), Icc is the shortcircuit current (A) and ccc is the temperature coefficient of the short-circuit current (A.K -1 ) given by the manufacturer. Following equation (5), it is easy to assume that the current intensity is mainly proportional to the lighting, whereas the other parameters (Eg, Icc, Rsh, Rs and γ) vary strongly with the temperature and the technology used [19]. …”
