A STUDY ON MODELING AND SIMULATION OF PHOTOVOLTIC ARRAYS USING SINGLE DIODE METHOD

Abstract

This paper presents a method of modeling and simulation of photovoltaic arrays. The main objective of this study is to achieve a circuit based simulation model of a photovoltaic cell and to scrutinize the results and compare them with respect to change in environmental parameters like irradiation and temperature. The proposed method of single diode model is implemented in MATLAB software based on the particular environmental condition. And on the basis of this study simulation results and ideal theoretical values are compared.
