Modeling of Electrical Characteristics of Various PV Panels

Abstract

The article presents mathematical models of the electrical characteristics of different types of photovoltaic (PV) panels. The developed model of the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of PV panels is valid for wide range of operating conditions - different solar radiation and temperature of the modules. The model is based on data given by the manufacturer. The software used for mathematical modelling is Matlab. The obtained simulation results are validated with experimental characteristics under identical operating conditions.
