METHOD
INTRODUCTION –
➢ For the description of the electrical behavior of a
solar cell during generating operation the two
diodes model is commonly used.
➢ For cells which are driven in the negative voltage
range another model is necessary, which
describes the breakdown region at high negative
voltages.
➢ This model can be adapted to the two diodes
model and offers optimal conditions for the
description of the solar cell characteristics.

PV CELL

4. SIMULATION OF PV CELL
f ( V,I ) = 0 , where, V = given voltage
I = current & I expected to be a single root
Starting With The Following Iteration, I0 Is Initial
Value :
I1 = I0 – f ( V,I0)
f’(V, I0)
➢ The iteration stops if a suitable condition is met. In
the case above the absolute difference of two
succeeding values of the iteration is used:
➢ | Ii+1 – Ii| < E
