The mathematical modeling of solar cells is essential for any optimization operation of the efficiency or the diagnosis of photovoltaic generator. The photovoltaic module is generally represented by an equivalent circuit whose parameters are experimentally calculated by using the characteristic current-tension, I-V. The precise determination of these parameters stays a challenge for the researchers, making to a big difference in the models and the digital methods dedicated to their characterizations. In the present paper, We are interested to characterize the parameters of single diode and two diodes models, in order to plan the behavior of the photovoltaic generator under real functioning conditions. We developed an identification method of the parameters using Newton Raphson method by using the software Matlab/Simulink. This method is the faster technique which allows the identification of several parameters and can be used in real time applications. The results of the proposed method show an accordance with the experimental and simulated characteristics of photovoltaic generator.

The study the fore-mentioned photovoltaic systems in an efficient manner the knowledge of I-V and P-V characteristics is a prerequisite. Effect of environmental parameters of temperature and irradiance variations could also be observed from simulated characteristics.

Abstract This Paper presents a detailed study on the types of modelling of the PV Panel for simulation studies. The main concern of this study is to analyze the results and compare them under standard test conditions. PV systems are generally integrated with specific control algorithms in order to extract the maximum possible power. Hence it is highly imperative that the Maximum Power Point (MPP) is achieved effectively and thus we need to design a model from which the MPPT algorithm can be realized in an efficient way.

Mathematical Modelling of photovoltaic (PV) modules is important for simulation and performance analysis of PV system. Therefore, an accurate parameters estimation is necessary. Single-diode and two-diode model are widely used to model the PV system. However, it required to determine several parameters such as series and shunt resistances that not provided in datasheet. The main goal of PV modelling technique is to obtain the accurate parameters to ensure the I-V characteristic is closed to the manufacturer datasheet. Previously, the maximum power error of calculated and datasheet value are considered as objective to be minimized for both models. This paper proposes the PV parameter estimation model based minimizing the total error of open circuit voltage (VOC), short circuit current (ISC) and maximum power (PMAX) where all these parameters are provided by the manufacturer. The performance of single-diode and two-diode models are tested on different type of PV modules using MATLAB. It found that the two-diode model obtained accurate parameters with smaller error compared to single-diode model. However, the simulation time is slightly higher than single-diode model due extra calculation required.

The implementation of a neural network especially for improving the accuracy of the electrical equivalent

Study and Simulation of Inccond Based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Alg...paperpublications3
Abstract: The entire world is facing a challenge to overcome the hurdle of energy crisis. It is fairly evident that a need exist for developing alternative energy sources. Amongst all the available renewable energy sources, solar energy appears to be a viable option as it is easily and widely available. If used in a proper way, it has a capacity to fulfill numerous energy needs of the world. Hence there is great scope of work in field of solar photovoltaic aiming at improved and efficient performances. Solar PV modules convert solar energy into electrical form but are having high non-linear current-voltage relationship which implies that they can operate at only one single point for maximum power. So extraction of maximum power in itself becomes a challenge under varying set of conditions of irradiation and temperature. A step by step approach is followed to analyze and address the problem with high frequency switching DC-DC converters that act as an interface between the module and the load and adjust the switching duty ratio so as to match the load line with that of Maximum Power Point load line. Further there exist various control algorithms to modify duty ratio. Their study is done and one such technique Incremental Conductance (IncCond) is used to process current and voltage of PV array to get the duty ratio. The results are obtained for changing radiation as well. In the present study, a review of Hill Climbing MPPT techniques, has been carried out with detailed flowcharts of algorithms and includes latest research papers published on MPPT techniques.
Parameter Extraction of PV Module using NLS Algorithm with Experimental Valid...IJECEIAES
Photovoltaic (PV) module parameters act an important task in PV system design and simulation. Most popularly used single diode Rsh model has five unknown electrical parameters such as series resistance (Rse), shunt resistance (Rsh), diode quality factor (a), photo-generated current (Ipg) and dark saturation current (Is) in the mathematical model of PV module. The PV module output voltage and current relationship is represented by a transcendental equation and is not possible to solve analytically. This paper proposes nonlinear least square (NLS) technique to extract five unknown parameters. The proposed technique is compared with other two popular techniques available in the literature such as Villalva’s comprehensive technique and modified Newton-Raphson (N-R) technique. Only two parameters Rse and Rsh are estimated by Villalva’s technique, but all single diode unknown electrical parameters can be estimated by the NLS technique. The accuracy of different estimation techniques is compared in terms of absolute percentage errors at MPP and is found the minimum for the proposed technique. The elapsed time for parameter estimation for NLS technique is minimum and much less compared to other two techniques. Extracted parameters of polycrystalline ELDORA-40 PV panel by the proposed technique have been validated through simulation and experimental current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) characteristics.

Response of Polycrystalline Solar Cell Outputs to Visible Spectrum and other ...IJECEIAES
In this case study, two polycrystalline solar modules were installed outdoors (irradiated by sunlight) and indoors (irradiated by artificial lights). The solar cells in both cases were installed using different color filters that allowed the passage of certain light frequencies. The amount of energy produced by each module were measured and compared to a reference module with no filter. The results indicated the variable response of polycrystalline solar cells to natural and artificial light sources, being more responsive in both cases to red band color as could be deduced from their % current outputs (72.5% sunlight radiation; 84.38% artificial light sources). Other colors, including yellow, green, orange and violet afforded acceptable outputs. The results indicated that electrical outputs of indoor solar cells decreased when colored filters were used, but red filter in general afforded the maximum outputs, for both the artificially radiated indoor and naturally radiated outdoor solar cells. The case study suggests the possible complementary advantage of using indoor mounted solar cells for the production of electricity during artificial illumination period of the day.
To increase energy yield from an installed photovoltaic (PV) array, particularly during partial shading condition (PSC), a new technique based on reconfigurable PV array interconnection is proposed in this work. The proposed technique works by dynamically changing the interconnection of PV modules to form a new configuration using a switching matrix inside the array. The criteria of good reconfigurable PV array interconnection techniques depend on the efficiency and accuracy of the control algorithm to optimally reconfigure the PV array to maximize the total output power. Hence, this paper proposes a new control algorithm using differential evolution (DE) for photovoltaic array reconfiguration (PVAR). To verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm, DE is compared with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Results confirm that DE performs well in terms of the amount of energy production during PSC. For all the nine shading patterns tested on a 3 × 3 PV array, DE yields 1% to 5% more power than PSO.

Parameter Extraction of PV Module using NLS Algorithm with Experimental Valid...IJECEIAES
Photovoltaic (PV) module parameters act an important task in PV system design and simulation. Most popularly used single diode Rsh model has five unknown electrical parameters such as series resistance (Rse), shunt resistance (Rsh), diode quality factor (a), photo-generated current (Ipg) and dark saturation current (Is) in the mathematical model of PV module. The PV module output voltage and current relationship is represented by a transcendental equation and is not possible to solve analytically. This paper proposes nonlinear least square (NLS) technique to extract five unknown parameters. The proposed technique is compared with other two popular techniques available in the literature such as Villalva’s comprehensive technique and modified Newton-Raphson (N-R) technique. Only two parameters Rse and Rsh are estimated by Villalva’s technique, but all single diode unknown electrical parameters can be estimated by the NLS technique. The accuracy of different estimation techniques is compared in terms of absolute percentage errors at MPP and is found the minimum for the proposed technique. The elapsed time for parameter estimation for NLS technique is minimum and much less compared to other two techniques. Extracted parameters of polycrystalline ELDORA-40 PV panel by the proposed technique have been validated through simulation and experimental current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) characteristics.

Response of Polycrystalline Solar Cell Outputs to Visible Spectrum and other ...IJECEIAES
In this case study, two polycrystalline solar modules were installed outdoors (irradiated by sunlight) and indoors (irradiated by artificial lights). The solar cells in both cases were installed using different color filters that allowed the passage of certain light frequencies. The amount of energy produced by each module were measured and compared to a reference module with no filter. The results indicated the variable response of polycrystalline solar cells to natural and artificial light sources, being more responsive in both cases to red band color as could be deduced from their % current outputs (72.5% sunlight radiation; 84.38% artificial light sources). Other colors, including yellow, green, orange and violet afforded acceptable outputs. The results indicated that electrical outputs of indoor solar cells decreased when colored filters were used, but red filter in general afforded the maximum outputs, for both the artificially radiated indoor and naturally radiated outdoor solar cells. The case study suggests the possible complementary advantage of using indoor mounted solar cells for the production of electricity during artificial illumination period of the day.
To increase energy yield from an installed photovoltaic (PV) array, particularly during partial shading condition (PSC), a new technique based on reconfigurable PV array interconnection is proposed in this work. The proposed technique works by dynamically changing the interconnection of PV modules to form a new configuration using a switching matrix inside the array. The criteria of good reconfigurable PV array interconnection techniques depend on the efficiency and accuracy of the control algorithm to optimally reconfigure the PV array to maximize the total output power. Hence, this paper proposes a new control algorithm using differential evolution (DE) for photovoltaic array reconfiguration (PVAR). To verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm, DE is compared with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Results confirm that DE performs well in terms of the amount of energy production during PSC. For all the nine shading patterns tested on a 3 × 3 PV array, DE yields 1% to 5% more power than PSO.

Modeling and Simulation of a Photovoltaic Field for 13 KW IJECEIAES
In the future solar energy will be very important source of energy. More than 45% of needed energy in the world will be generated by photovoltaic module. Therefore it is necessary to concentrate our efforts in order to reduce the application costs .This work investigates on the modeling of a Stand Alone Power System focusing on Photovoltaic energy systems. We introduce the models of the system components Therefore a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is needed to track the peak power in order to make full utilization of PV array output power under varying conditions. This paper presents two widely-adopted MPPT algorithms, perturbation & observation (P&O) and incremental conductance (IC).A complete characterization and simulation model was implemented in the MatlabSimulink environment. Design complete system is done to analyze its behavior for a typical year, with the aim to evaluate their energetic effectiveness.
In this paper two configurations of solar photovoltaic energy conversion using the NPC five levels inverter for stand-alone application in south Algeria are proposed and their performances compared. The first cascade uses four separate PV sources and the second configuration use only one PV generator. In these two cases and without DC/DC converter introduced between PV source and inverter and to get a stable AC voltage, authors in propose a proportional regulator of inverter modulation index. The SVPWM technique is used in order to get the best voltage waveform. For the second configuration proposed, we introduce in the control loops another algorithm which uses the redundant vectors of space vector diagram of inverter to stabilise the DC bus voltages. A real data of temperature and solar irradiation obtained by radiometric station in Ghardaïa city in south Algeria are used to test the performance of proposed controls. The simulation results show that the inverter output voltage is stable for the two configurations proposed despite the variation of solar irradiation, temperature and load. Also, the THD obtained is in the limits of international standards. Then, the PV cascade with separate PV sources is the best solution, seeing that we do not need to use another algorithm in the control loops.

Analysis of Voltage and Current Variations in Hybrid Power SystemIJRST Journal
In this paper, a detailed dynamic model and simulation of a solar cell/wind turbine/fuel cell hybrid power system is Developed using a novel topology to complement each other and to alleviate the effects of environmental variations. Comparing with the nuclear energy and thermal power, the renewable energy is inexhaustible and has non-pollution Characteristics. Here Ultra-capacitors are used in power applications requiring short duration peak power. The voltage variation at the output is found to be within the acceptable range. The output fluctuations of the wind turbine varying with wind speed and the solar cell varying with both environmental temperature and sun radiation are reduced using a fuel cell. Therefore, this system can tolerate the rapid changes in load and environmental conditions, and suppress the effects of these fluctuations on the equipment side voltage. The proposed system can be used for off-grid power generation in non interconnected areas or remote isolated communities. Modeling and simulations are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink software packages to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. The results show that the proposed hybrid power system can tolerate the rapid changes in natural conditions and suppress the effects of these fluctuations on the voltage within the acceptable range.

To detect defects of solar panel and understand the effect of external parameters such as fluctuations in illumination, temperature, and the effect of a type of dust on a photovoltaic (PV) panel, it is essential to plot the Ipv=f(Vpv) characteristic of the PV panel, and the simplest way to plot this I-V characteristic is to use a variable resistor. This paper presents a study of comparison and combination between two methods: capacitive and electronic loading to track I-V characteristic. The comparison was performed in terms of accuracy, response time and instrumentation cost used in each circuit, under standard temperature and illumination conditions by using polycrystalline solar panel type SX330J and monocrystalline solar panels type ET-M53630. The whole system is based on simple components, less expensive and especially widely used in laboratories. The results will be between the datasheet of the manufacturer with the experimental data, refinements and improvements concerning the number of points and the trace time have been made by combining these two methods.
This document summarizes a research paper on maximizing the power output of a photovoltaic (PV) system using perturb and observe (P&O) control applied to maximum power point tracking (MPPT). It describes how PV output is affected by solar irradiance and temperature. A boost converter is used along with a P&O MPPT algorithm to continuously adjust the duty cycle and extract maximum power from the PV panel. Simulation results show that using MPPT improves efficiency from 73% without MPPT to 97.6% with MPPT by ensuring the PV operates at its maximum power point under changing conditions. The study demonstrates that MPPT effectively increases PV system performance compared to direct connection without MPPT control.

Results from both simulation and experimental verification demonstrated that the PV emulator successfully able to produce power for the inverter according to the requirement.

constraints like pollution [1] and global warming [2] lead to the development of re-
newable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic energy [3].
To surmount the problem of modeling solar panels, we need to precise the know-
ledge of parameters of PV cell, essentially for conception, quality control and for evalu-
ation of their implementation. These parameters are often determined from experi-
mental data for best weather conditions [4] [5]. The behavior of module is usually de-
scribed by current-tension characteristic (I-V), the look of which depends considerably
on values of the parameters such as the current of saturation, the photocurrent, the
serial resistance, shunt and of the dark current [6] [7].
The equivalent system whose parameters are calculated to achieve the characteristic I
= f (V) is represented in this work. Approximatively, we offered the real model simula-
tions, validated from data recorder in LRAER of USTM in Nouakchott, Mauritania.
Subsequently, we proposed the characteristics of sunshine, in real time, to go up, the
effectiveness of our method proposed for the analysis of system behavior in front of the
local meteorological disturbances. We develop, at first, the model for a diode, to take
account of physical phenomena with the aim of better representation of the electrical
behavior of GPV from the ideal model. For precisely exam, we study the two-diode
model. However, the inclusion of the additional diode increases the parameters to look
and makes it difficult for extraction process of the model parameter values. This rea-
soning is supported by using mathematical models of digital resolution, such as New-
ton Raphson, expected behavior of photovoltaic generator in real time conditions in
Mauritania. We are proposed methods of parameter identification to use the iterative
method using the Matlab software. This method proposed in this work is a technique
that can be interesting for the development of knowledge on the identification of sever-
al parameters. We arrive to show also that it provides results that can be used in appli-
cations in real time.
2. Models of the Photovoltaicarray
The solar panel is the main source of energy of the whole PV system. It is made of pv
cells associated in series and parallels in addition to protection ports. To proceed to its
analysis, the basic idea will be based on the study of the photovoltaic cell, the hard core
of the converter of light into electricity. Several models of photovoltaic cells are pro-
posed in the literature reviews [8]-[10], among these mathematical models the one with
single diode is generally considered as the most adapted to model a photovoltaic cell in
normal functioning.
2.1. Single Diode Model
This photovoltaic cell is characterized by its equivalent diagram (Figure 1) which con-
sists of a source of electric current which models the conversion of the luminous flow to
electrical energy; a diode models the junction of the cell. To take into account physical
phenomena at the level of the cell, the model is completed by two resistances series Rs
and shunt Rsh as seen in the equivalent diagram. The serial resistance represents the ac-

cumulated resistance of, the front junction, the basic resistances and the fore and back
faces. The resistance shunt result from losses by recombination’s owed essentially to the
thickness; it is to reduce following penetration of metallic impurities in the junction.
The equivalent circuit of a photovoltaic cell is represented by Figure 1.
This model can be expressed by the following equation, in which I and V are respec-
tively the current and the tension of a PV cell [11].

It is nonlinear equation consisting of two variables (I and V) and five parameters to
be determined. These parameters are:
• Iph: photo-current, equivalent current proportional to period of sunlight received by
the cell.
• Is: is the reverse saturation current.
• a: is the diode ideality factor.
• Rs: is the equivalent series Resistance.
• Rsh: is the parallel Resistance
2.2. Two Diodes Model
We have, this time two diodes to the present the phenomena of polarization of the
junction p-n. These diodes symbolize the recombination of the minority carriers, both
on the surface of the material and on its volume. The diagram of the photovoltaic ge-
nerator becomes in this case that of Figure 2.
Characteristic I-V of the model with two diodes is described by this equation [12]:

respectively, Vt1 and Vt2 are the thermal voltages of the respective diodes. a1 and a2
represent the diode ideality constants.
2.3. Determination of Single Diode Model Parameters
The Equation (1) is an implicit equation there I and V which can be solved thanks to
the method of Newton-Raphson or analytically with approaches, this equation has five
parameters Iph, Is, has, Rs and Rsh are determined.
The current IPH of photovoltaic cells varies according to their temperature, the period
of sunlight which receives and the coefficient of temperature at the short current cir-
cuit. By making informed reference IPH,REF measured on the standard test condition
(GREF = 1000 W/m2
and TREF = 25˚C).The current IPH for a period of sunshine and a
temperature given can be calculated by the following expression:
( ),ph PH REF REF

where:
G: Solar irradiance received by the module area [W/m2

α: Temperature coefficient of the short circuit current [A/K].
GREF: Solar irradiance at the Standard Test Condition [1000W/m2
].
TREF: temperature at the Standard Test Condition [25˚C].
IPH,REF: Light-generated at the reference condition, is practically equal to short circuit
current at the STC, ICC, REF.

according to six unknown parameters. In this paper we consider that both current of

3. Iterative Method of Extraction of the PV Parameters
In this paper we use Newton Raphson’s method to determine the parameters of two
models but also to solve Equations ((1) and (2)). This method is described by this ex-

minations of the photovoltaic parameters is presented in Figure 3.

5. Results and Discussions
The improved iterative method technique is proposed to identify the parameters of PV
module in this section. The efficiency of the improved NRM-based parameters identi-
fication method is verified by identifying the experimental data of PV module under
different irradiance and temperature conditions. Comparisons with the optimization
algorithm for identification are also presented for the experimental data, which are
generated using the PV module models. This algorithm is programmed and imple-
mented in MATLAB environment to identify the PV module parameters using the two
models of the photovoltaic module, the parameters identified by this implementation of
the algorithm are presented to Table 2.

Figure 11 represents the profile of sunlight and temperature noted at applied re-
search laboratory for renewable energy for three days of the month of August. We use
the weather data for the validation of models based on the extraction of five and seven
parameters of the PV generator, then we simulate the power delivered by the PV system
during these test days.
Meteorological data show that there was remarkable perturbation on the third day
caused by the transit of clouds. The maximum irradiation saved to quarter past eleven
does not exceed 800 W/m2
while on the first day it was of the order of eight hundred
eighty and for the second day it slightly exceeds nine hundred.
The variation of temperature during the three days shows that the maximum tem-
perature is observed in the third day around 11 and a half at about 39˚C although the
1st and the second day do not exceed respectively 32 and 35 degrees Celsius.
The results in Figure 12 show a comparison between the power estimated by single
diode model and the experience of our generator that consists of 16 identical panels, as
well as the relative error between the simulated and the real power during three days of
tests on our site.
These results obtained show a very good correlation between simulated values and
experimental data at real records using the data acquisition system during the period of
testing of the photovoltaic system. The relative error calculation shows that simulated
model power is very close to the actual power delivered by the PV system despite the
remarkable changes in weather conditions on the site.
Figure 13 shows a comparison of the power obtained by the model of two diodes and
the power of real or experimental PVG during three days of the test, and also the varia-
tion of relative error between these powers.

system.

6. Conclusion
In this paper, the seven and five parameters of a solar PV module are extracted using an
iterative method based on Newton Raphson Method (NRM). The feasibility of the NR
method has been validated by synthetic and experimental I–V and P-V data set of solar
module (mono-crystalline). The proposed method is very accurate and converges to the
rapidly solution. The results also presented good agreement between modeling data and
outdoor measurements of photovoltaic generator for single and two-diode models,
even in low irradiance levels. The mean absolute relative error between estimated pow-
er and measurements is less than 1.1% for single diode model parameters and less than
1% for two-diode model.
