Modeling of Photovoltaic Panels Using MATLAB/SIMULINK

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to create a PV cell model using 4 unknown parameters (𝐼𝑝ℎ,𝐼0,𝑅𝑠,𝑅𝑠ℎ) and show the behavior of this model against solar radiation and temperature changes in both simulation and experimental. Previous studies have been used to find the model parameters of the PV cell, while the simulation programs have been developed by us using Matlab / Simulink. The chosen model for a PV cell is the single diode model with both series and parallel resistors. Simulation results were tested on two PV panels. The first one is a 10W panel consisting of 36 series connected cells. While the other one is a 250W panel consisting of 60 series connected cells. The accuracy of models has been confirmed by comparing the data obtained by simulation for both panels with the data in datasheets provided by panel manufacturers. In addition to that, obtained models are used to generate the I-V and P-V curves graphically at temperatures and irradiances other than the standard test condition (STC).
