Blended learning for Photovoltaic Systems: Virtual Laboratory with Pspice

摘要

a set of simple tools that allows a blended learning (B-learning) on photovoltaic systems is presented. The tools define a simulation environment based on PSPICE and may constitute a virtual laboratory. The latter allows students a better understanding of a photovoltaic cell, module or generator. Characteristic curves of photovoltaic systems and basic parameters such as voltage, current, power and energy can be obtained for further analy sis and representation. Moreover, this virtual laboratory for photovoltaic systems offers students the possibility to compare the values previously calculated and simulated with real measurements.
