An electronic load for testing photovoltaic panels

The characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) panels in the field conditions are to be obtained using a fast varying load. The paper presents a simple electronic load for testing a set of PV panels using linear metal oxide field effect transistors (MOSFETs). The proposed test set up gives the current versus voltage and power versus voltage characteristics of PV panels by quickly scanning the load. D...

Simple Modeling and Simulation of Photovoltaic Panels Using Matlab/Simulink

This paper introduces the simple method of the mathematical modeling and simulation of current-voltage characteristics for photovoltaic panel. The aim of this modeling is to simply the nonlinear I-V model of photovoltaic panel to easily apply the model to the circuit simulators such as SPICE. So this paper is finding the parameters for the nonlinear I-V equations based on only the data such as ...

Measured Performance of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Panels

Modelling an Emulator of Photovoltaic Panels

Photovoltaic emulators (PVE) are power electronic systems able to reproduce the output "CurrentVoltage" characteristics of photovoltaic panels in various operating conditions. They are indispensable for the design and evaluation of the operational components of a photovoltaic energy system, such as battery chargers and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). Those emulators prevent the experimenta...
