Abstract :
A novel method calculates deterministically the power-peak voltage of a photovoltaic (PV) panel. It requires only three measurements, which are the output current, terminal voltage and temperature of the PV. With low-computational complexity, this method can be implemented on 16-bit low-cost microcontrollers. Some simulations confirm the accuracy and robustness of this method.
