Mathematical Design and Analysis of Photovoltaic Cell Using MATLAB/Simulink

This study explored different models of PV cell, namely, single diode model and double diode models using MATLAB/Simulink Environment. The output power and current characteristics are analyzed for different solar intensity radiations and temperature variations of PV cell. Simulation results are obtained for different atmospheric and temperature conditions. The simulation results reveal that the double diode model generates maximum power and has a higher efficiency compared to single diode model.
