Modelling and Simulation of Photovoltaic Cells

چکیده
A photovoltaic cell converts the solar energy into the electrical energy by the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells are widely used in terrestrial and space applications. The photovoltaic cells must be operated at their maximum power point. The maximum power point varies with illumination, temperature, radiation dose and other ageing effects. In this paper, we present four models for a photovoltaic cell. Each method was evaluated and their strengths/weaknesses were identified. Two empirical models was modeled and simulated in Mathcad. The empirical models developed are validating through the comparison of the obtained characteristics with the ones given by the manufacturers of the PV panels.

Dynamic Modelling of a Compressed Air Energy Storage System in a Grid Connected Photovoltaic Plant
The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...

In this paper, using Thevenin’s theorem and also nonlinear Lambert W function, a novel two-diode model of photovoltaic cells is presented in mathematical explicit manner. In comparison with existing explicit models in the literature which are valid exclusively for n2=n1 and n2=2n1, this model includes a wide range of silicon-based cells with arbitrary diodes ideality factors. Acquiring regulati...

Using Photovoltaic systems is gradually expanded by increasing energy demand. Abundance and availability of this energy, has turned to one of the most important sources of renewable energy. Unfortunately, photovoltaic systems have two big problems: first, those have very low energy conversion efficiency (in act between 12 and 42 percent under certain circumstances). Second, the power produced b...
