Modeling of photovoltaic panel using datasheetparameters

Abstract—the growing number of the PV panels that share power supplying all over the world makes it essential to have a model of panels to be utilized in further analyzing. In this study a single diode model, which is simple and accurate, is created for PV panel. The parameters that need to be extracted from datasheet specification in modeling of PV panel include photovoltaic current these resistances by changing the values of resistances to match the maximum power point with maximum power point voltage. Two different commercial PV modules with different technology (monocrystal and multicrystal) are selected and modeled in MATLAB/ SCRIPT. Their predicted output values at nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) provided by proposed model are compared with the NOCT parameters values provided bymanufacture's datasheet and their relative errors are calculated to validate the proposed model. (IPV), diode reverse saturation current (I0), diode ideality constant(a), series resistance (RS), and parallel resistance (RP). For simplicity some authors eliminate the parallel resistance or both the series and parallel resistance, but these resistances have significant effect on PV model accuracy and its better not to be eliminated. This paper proposes an iteration procedure to estimate the amount of these resistances by changing the values of resistances to match the maximum power point with maximum power point voltage.
