Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Performance Analysis of Solar Cell

摘要

Solar Cell performance analysis is very important for the design of an efficient photo voltaic (PV) based Micro-Grid. Solar Cell is at the heart of Micro-Grid technology. In this paper mathematical model of solar cell based on five parameters has been developed and simulated. The characteristics, current voltage (I-V) and power voltage (P-V) are obtained from the mathematical model that has been developed and analyzed for different operating conditions such as irradiations and temperatures. In this paper the performance characteristics of the developed mathematical model of the solar cell and the solar cell model available in MATLAB are compared. It is observed that the developed model is accurate enough to be considered for the development of a PV module and PV array for further analysis.
