Simple and Accurate Method of Modeling Photovoltaic Module: a Different Approach

This paper proposes a different method of modeling Photovoltaic (PV) System in uniform irradiance conditions. It provides a simple and accurate method of modeling PV system using a single diode model by considering series and shunt resistance. This model computes five parameters and is having better accuracy than the existing models in literature. The accuracy of the proposed modeling technique is validated by comparing the model with the experimental values and datasheet values. The proposed model can be extended for modeling the effect of non-uniform irradiance conditions on PV system and also to track the maximum power from the PV source under non-uniform irradiance conditions.
