<p>This paper introduces a procedure for the modelling of a Photo<em>ــ</em>Voltaic (PV) cell and the application of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in step-by-step with MATLAB/Simulink. The model of one diode is used to explore the characteristics of I<em>ــ</em>V and P<em>ــ</em>V curves of 60W PV module. Due to the non-linear and time varying of PV characteristics, the generated power of the PV is continually varying with atmospheric conditions like temperature and irradiation, the MPPT technology is very important to chase maximum power point (MPP) on the P<em>ــ</em>V curve to obtain maximum output power from PV array. This study focuses on two common types algorithms of MPPT, namely perturb and observe (P&amp;O) and incremental conductance (INC). A DC--DC boost converter is implemented to regulate the voltage output from the PV array's and for the application of MPPT algorithm.</p>

Abstract The photovoltaic (PV) module is equipment that converted sunlight energy to electrical energy. To show the behavior of this device, a mathematical model should be presented. The well-known single-diode and double-diode models were utilized to demonstrate the electrical behavior of the PV module. Moreover, the single and double-diode models have been explained and simulated to study the difference between them under different weather conditions. Furthermore, the mathematical analysis of these models are carried out based on their equivalent circuits. Since, the "Matlab/Simulink" is considered as one of the major software for modeling, analyzing, and solving the dynamic system real problems; it has been used to model and simulate the PV models. In this work the "Mux." and "Fcn." functions in the "Matlab/ Simulink Library" are used which is considered a simple and precise procedure to show the I-V and P-V characteristics. As a result, more accurate results of the I-V and P-V curves have been obtained by the double-diode model compared to the single-diode model. Experimentally, the monocrystalline NST-120W PV module is used to validate the proposed work. The laboratory devices of lux meter, thermometer, ammeter, and voltmeter are used to see the practical results and show the performance of the PV module for different weather conditions. Finally, the experimental voltage, current and power are obtained for the various values of irradiance and temperature through a variable resistive load to obtain the I-V and P-V graphs.

Due to the variation of solar irradiance, temperature and shading conditions, the power generated by a photovoltaic (PV) module and hence the power delivered to the load changes drastically, which imposes the need for analysis of a complete PV system to get the maximum power under these natural variable conditions. In this paper, a complete off-grid PV module based power generation system has been designed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and performance has been scrutinized using the value of standard solar irradiance about 1 KW/m-2 for Bangladesh. The simulation model includes solar PV module, the converter power stage with MPPT control and charge controlling functions and here performance of each block has been examined conspicuously. Eventually, it has been found that the model is quite competent to simulate both the I-V and P-V characteristics of a PV module and based on the result it has been predicted that the performance of several modules or even PV array connected in series and/or in parallel with the delivery of maximum power can be tested under different solar irradiance and temperature conditions.

Partial shading affects the energy harvested from photovoltaic (PV) modules, leading to a mismatch in PV systems and causing energy losses. For this purpose, differential power processing (DPP) converters are the emerging power electronic-based topologies used to address the mismatch issues. Normally, PV modules are connected in series and DPP converters are used to extract the power from these PV modules by only processing the fraction of power called mismatched power. In this work, a switched-capacitor-inductor (SCL)-based DPP converter is presented, which mitigates the non-ideal conditions in solar PV systems. A proposed SCL-based DPP technique utilizes a simple control strategy to extract the maximum power from the partially shaded PV modules by only processing a fraction of the power. Furthermore, an operational principle and loss analysis for the proposed converter is presented. The proposed topology is examined and compared with the traditional bypass diode technique through simulations and experimental tests. The efficiency of the proposed DPP is validated by the experiment and simulation. The results demonstrate the performance in terms of higher energy yield without bypassing the low-producing PV module by using a simple control. The results indicate that achieved efficiency is higher than 98% under severe mismatch (higher than 50%).

Photovoltaic (PV) systems directly convert solar energy into electricity and researchers are taking into consideration the design of photovoltaic cell interconnections to form a photovoltaic module that maximizes solar irradiance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cell spacing effect of light diffusion on output power. In this work, the light absorption of solar PV cells in a module with three different cell spacings was studied. An optical engineering software program was used to analyze the reflecting light on the backsheet of the solar PV module towards the solar cell with varied internal cell spacing of 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm. Then, assessments were performed under standard test conditions to investigate the power output of the PV modules. The results of the study show that the module with an internal cell spacing of 8 mm generated more power than 5 mm and 2 mm. Conversely, internal cell spacing from 2 mm to 5 mm revealed a greater increase of power output on the solar PV module compared to 5 mm to 8 mm. Furthermore, based on the simulation and experiment, internal cell spacing variation showed that the power output of a solar PV module can increase its potential to produce more power from the diffuse reflectance of light.

Environment protection and energy saving are the most attractive trends in zero-carbon buildings. The most promising and environmentally friendly technique is building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), which can also replace conventional buildings based on non-renewable energy. Despite the recent advances in technology, the cost of BIPV systems is still very high. Hence, reducing the cost is a major challenge. This paper examines and validates the effectiveness of low-cost aluminum (Al) foil as a reflector. The design and the performance of planer-reflector for BIPV systems are analyzed in detail. A Bi-reflector solar PV system (BRPVS) with thin film Al-foil reflector and an LLC converter for a BIPV system is proposed and experimented with a 400-W prototype. A cadmium–sulfide (CdS) photo-resistor sensor and an Arduino-based algorithm was developed to control the working of the reflectors. Furthermore, the effect of Al-foil reflectors on the temperature of PV module has been examined. The developed LLC converter confirmed stable output voltage despite large variation in input voltage proving its effectiveness for the proposed BRPVS. The experimental results of the proposed BRPVS with an Al-reflector of the same size as that of the solar PV module offered an enhancement of 28.47% in the output power.

To respond to the increase in demand for electricity, the use of photovoltaics is growing considerably as it produces electrical energy without polluting the environment. In addition, to enhance the efficiency of photovoltaic modules, an MPPT algorithm is required to follow the maximum voltage and maximum current in the IV curve. This technique can be achieved by using a DC-DC converter. For this purpose, various MPPT techniques have been developed. The combination of MPPT and DC-DC converter is implemented using Matlab/Simulink and connected to a modelled PV module to validate the simulation.
