Abstract
This paper provides a detailed and comprehensive study of various models of photovoltaic (PV) array which have been formulated previously in the literature, using the datasheet parameters. In this paper, comparisons of the models have been made on basis of the MPP tracking, the root mean square deviation (RMSD) from the experimental data, the Fill Factor (FF), the efficiency of the model and the time required for simulation. Further, the resemblance with the actual P–V and I–V curves, as obtained on the basis of experimental data, has also been included in this analysis. On the basis of all these, the best model that can be used for simulation purposes, keeping in mind the necessary factors for a particular application, can be selected. It is envisaged that the work can be very useful for professionals who require simple and accurate PV simulators for their design. This paper is also intended to be a useful tool for the beginners who require a clear and logical insight regarding the working and modeling of PV cells. All the systems here are modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
