Parametric Characterization of a Mathematical Model for Solar Cells
The use of solar energy is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional sources of energy. Photovoltaic (PV) generators are one of the most efficient ways to capture and convert solar energy into electricity. To optimize the efficiency and diagnose issues in PV generators, it is important to understand their behavior under different conditions. This requires the parametric characterization of mathematical models that represent these systems. In this article, we will discuss a research paper which proposes an identification method for determining the parameters of a mathematical model for photovoltaic modules with both single and two diodes.
Background
The equivalent circuit representing a photovoltaic module typically consists of several components such as resistors, capacitors, and diodes. The parameters associated with these components must be accurately determined in order to predict the behavior of the system under real functioning conditions. Traditionally, these parameters have been determined experimentally using characteristic current-tension (I-V) relationships obtained from measurements on actual PV modules. However, this approach has proven to be challenging due to variations in environmental conditions such as temperature or irradiance levels which can affect the accuracy of results significantly.
To address this issue, researchers have developed various digital methods dedicated to parameter identification including iterative techniques based on Newton Raphson's Method (NRM).
