Mathematical Modelling and Simulation of Photovoltaic Module Using MATLAB/SIMULINK

2018 
Photovoltaic (PV) array which consists of series and parallel connected modules is the fundamental building block of a photovoltaic energy conversion system. PV array shows nonlinear characteristics and evaluating the operating characteristics under time varying environmental conditions is a too costly and time-consuming task. To avoid these hindrances, an elementary and a basic model of PV array were modeled and incorporated to different software involving MATLAB/SIMULINK. Although, these PV models are not appropriate for operation, including hybrid energy network because these systems require pliant tuning of various parameters and cannot be easy to understand. So, this paper describes a step by step method to simulate PV array using MATLAB/SIMULINK. An MSX 64W PV panel has been taken as a base model. The characteristic's curves of PV module are also evaluated at a broad range of environmental circumstances and physical parameters. The effects of partial shading conditions on PV characteristics are also discussed.
