Abstract

This paper introduces a simplified and accurate modeling approach to model photovoltaic modules. The current method uses a hybrid technique combining numerical and analytical approaches to predict the current-voltage characteristics of PV generators by calculating the parameters of the double-diode model. First, to reduce the complexity of the current equation and minimize the calculation time, some simplifications reducing the research space from seven to only five unknowns are taken into consideration. Second, three of these five parameters are extracted using simple analytical equations derived from the output current's equation based on the available values of the typical points on the manufacturer's datasheet. Then, the remaining two parameters are extracted using a combination of numerical approach and slope adjustment technique at the short-circuit point. The technique is adapted to the single-diode model in order to study the effect of the second diode on the simulating accuracy. The effectiveness is tested over six PV modules matching different PV technologies, and the results are compared with a great number of modeling methods based on different approaches, and the adjustment technique has shown the highest accuracy levels (RMSE values less than 0.045A) at the least computational times (compilation time less than 0.084 s).
