| description | To accurately model the PV module, it is crucial to include the effects of irradiance and temperature when computing the value of the model parameters. Considering the importance of this issue, this paper proposes an improved modeling approach using differential evolution (DE) method. Unlike other PV modeling techniques, this approach enables the computation of model parameters at any irradiance and temperature point using only the information provided by the manufacturer’s data sheet. The key to this improvement is the ability of DE to simultaneously compute all the model parameters at different irradiance and temperature. To validate the accuracy of the proposed model, three PV modules of different types (multi-crystalline, mono-crystalline and thin-film) are tested. The performance of the model is evaluated against the popular single diode model with series resistance Rs. It is found that the proposed model gives superior results for any irradiance and temperature variations. The modeling method is useful for PV simulator developers who require comprehensive and accurate model for the PV module. |
