Mismatch losses in photovoltaic (PV) modules are a serious problem, which occurs when interconnected solar cells in the module have different properties or experience different conditions from one another. In such cases, the output of the entire module under worst case conditions is determined by the solar cell with the lowest output. It is very difficult to study mismatch effect in modules by experimental means, rather, a simulated study is more favorable. Common simulation tools such as PSpice, PVsyst are useful, however, are expensive and require higher node operations. MATLAB-Simulink has been an inexpensive simulation tool that can efficiently simulate solar cells and modules. This paper presents a novel Simulink model of crystalline silicon (c-Si)PV modules in order to study the mismatch losses in the modules by simulating different conditions like partial shading and irradiance variation. The study shows a significant loss in open circuit voltage, and increase in series resistance of the module with increasing shading at lower irradiance conditions, which leads to significant drop in module fill factor and efficiency. This study would be helpful to understand mismatch effect under partial shading and at low irradiance conditions in a qualitative and quantitative manner, which would be useful to take precautionary measures under such conditions.

The photovoltaic (PV) panel generates power based on different parameters, including environmental conditions such as solar irradiance, temperature, and internal electrical parameters of the PV panel. Thus, a PV model should be studied in advance to forecast and evaluate the impact of these factors on the PV performance, and this model should be matched with the PV panel's real behavior. For this reason, this paper developed a new model for a PV panel using the Proteus software. A flexible PV model with possibility of varying the weather conditions has been proposed using mathematical equations of a single-diode equivalent circuit, (i.e., photo-generated current, shunt-resistor current, and diode current). Moreover, these equations were modeled using “Pick Devices” in Proteus software library. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed model, it was applied on two types of monocrystalline, and multi-crystalline silicon cells of PV panel technologies. Subsequently, the corresponding current-voltage (I–V) and power-voltage (P–V) characteristics are obtained and compared with the manufacturer's data, PVsyst software, and other authors' results under arbitrary values of irradiance and temperature. The simulation results identified that the proposed model is flexible, simple, and suitable for different PV panel technologies under diverse weather conditions.

The world is moving towards the generation of electricity with renewable energy sources (RES) due to the deterioration of the green environment and trying to replace non-renewable energy resources. The real-time results are achieved with the help of an arm controller, having good controller efficiency with the Waijung toolbox, compatible with MATLAB using STM32ST-link utility. In this paper, the authors are focused on areas such as easy to implement controller efficiency, and real-time solutions for modified direct-control perturbation & observation (DC-P&O) technique based on 32- bit ARM Cortex microcontroller (STM32F407VGT6) with embedded programming using Waijung blocksets, which offers very expected outcomes of the problem to make the stand-alone system efficient with fast-tracking. The observation setup is tested with a 40-watt photovoltaic (PV) panel with resistive load for achieving its stability. The designed algorithm enhances the efficiency of the controller by 84.48% for the real-time parameters of the PV panel at maximum power point (MPP) for a 57% duty ratio.

The present paper deals with the development of a simulation model for predicting the performances of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system operating under current meteorological conditions at the site location. The proposed model is based on the cell equivalent circuit including a photocurrent source, a diode, a series and shunt resistances. Mathematical expressions developed for modeling the PV generator performances are based on current-voltage characteristic of the considered modules. The developed model allows the prediction of PV cell (module) behavior under different physical and environmental parameters. The model can be extended to extract physical parameters for a given solar PV module as a function of temperature and solar irradiation. A typical 260 W solar panel developed by LG Company was used for model evaluation using Newton-Raphson approach under MATLAB environment in order to analyze its behavior under actual operating conditions. Comparison of our results with data taken from the manufacturer’s datasheet shows good agreement and confirms the validity of our model. Hence, the proposed approach can be an alternative to extract different parameters of any PV module to study and predict its performances.
