TWO PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL SIMULATION MODELS IN MATLAB/SIMULINK

The study of photovoltaic systems in an efficient manner requires a precise knowledge of the IV and PV characteristic curves of photovoltaic modules. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop two different computer models to simulate the behavior of a photovoltaic cell, to be able to represent these IV and PV curves. Both models are implemented in Matlab- Simulink. These two models are part of a larger study of different ways to simulate a cell or photovoltaic panel presented in section two. To demonstrate the validity of the models graphs IV and PV curves resulting with those provided by the manufacturer have been compared. To analyze the operation and the suitability of the model it is necessary to have precise knowledge of these curves. With experimental and technical data of the commercial panel Mitsubishi PV-TD185MF5 will be validated these models.
