Model of Solar Module in MATLAB SIMULINK

Abstract

The article presents mathematical model of the solar module, implemented in the software MATLAB / Simulink. The authors of this article use equivalent circuit of the solar cell substitution with a diode excluding parallel resistance for modeling. They calculate the series resistance of the solar module by Newton's iterative method utilizing the data of its technical specifications that ensures high precision of simulation. Model validity was evaluated by the well-known technical characteristics of the module Solarex MSX 60. The results of the experiments showed that the resulting model current-voltage and current-watt characteristics of the module correlate with data of the manufacturer. The model is designed as a separate subsystem with a possibility to input basic parameters via a dialog box, that makes possible to modify model. The model allows obtaining the characteristics of solar cells of different types and manufacturers; moreover it can be used to construct models of solar module and photovoltaic systems of arbitrary configuration on their bases.
