研究目的
To describe and to plot the current-voltage and power-voltage under different temperatures, solar irradiance and ideality factor by using iterative method.
研究成果
This article deals with the mathematical modeling of PV cells. Moreover, the Newton iterative method is used for the non-linear characteristics equation to find the I-V and P-V curves. So, the outputs characteristics of PV cell are affected by several factors such as; change in temperature and solar irradiation. The nonlinear characteristics are identifying and plotted with the change in ideality factor of the P-N junction. The simulation results showed us that PV solar output power, voltage, and current vary with the changes of temperature, solar irradiation, and diode quality factor. Finally, this investigation has detected the MPPT point where the PV Module operates at the point of maximum power depending on irradiation and temperature.
研究不足
The study focuses on the mono crystalline PV module with 60 cells connected in series to provide 255 Watt manufactured by Sunmodule. The effects of other types of PV modules or different configurations are not considered.
