Solar Cell Parameter Extraction From Data using MATLAB and Simulink

Abstract

This paper shows optimization of the Solar Cell block's parameters to fit data defined over a range of different temperatures. It uses the MATLAB® optimization function fminsearch. Other products available for performing this type of parameter fitting with Simscape™ Electronics™ models are the Optimization Toolbox™ and Simulink® Design Optimization™. These products provide predefined functions to manipulate and analyze blocks using GUIs or a command line approach.
