Photovoltaic panel structural models for control

Abstract

Research in the domain of renewable sources of electricity is in continuous grow. The direct conversion of the Sun power in electricity is a promising possibility using the photoelectric industrial panels. In order to estimate the performance of the photovoltaic panels or to design a proper control system, a mathematical of the panel is needed. The used conventional models are “physical” models, each of themes presenting some inconveniences. The present paper proposes a new approach: a structural model, useful both in simulation and control design stage. The simulation results prove the efficiency of the proposed model.
