Modelling, simulation and performance analysis of a PV array in an embedded environment

Cell modelling and model parameters estimation techniques for photovoltaic simulator application: A review

“…The algorithm needs to solve seven model parameters; thus the time taken for the iteration is quite long. Several computational methods have been proposed in the literature [18,63,64], but these methods require additional coefficients which are not available in the manufacturer datasheet. In order to make the two-diode model analytically manageable, Kashif et al [51] reduced the seven unknown parameters of the model to four.…”

Simple, fast and accurate two-diode model for photovoltaic modules

“…In [23], an equivalent Thevenin circuit is derived to estimate the model parameters, whereas in [24], the parameters are calculated as a function of series resistance. However, in all these techniques [21][22][23][24] many new additional coefficients are introduced into the equations. Furthermore difficulty arises in determining the initial values of the parameters; in some cases heuristic solutions need to be sought.…”

“…From the preceding discussion, it may be concluded that although the two-diode model is a preferable choice in terms of accuracy, its computational requirement is much more demanding compared to the single diode models [21][22][23][24]. That makes it less attractive than the latter.…”

Outdoor performance modeling of three different silicon photovoltaic module technologies

“…The onediode and two-diode models seem as the most common models used for modeling solar module. The latter one appears the better choice because it is the most accurate even if it necessities more computational requirement [10][11][12][13]. The spectral effects can improve the accuracy of outdoor performance of a photovoltaic (PV) system; the effect of seasonal spectral variations on three different silicon PV technologies has been investigated by [14].…”
