Study of Photovoltaic System in different operating Environment using Modelling and Simulation

Abstract

In this paper, a scheme has been proposed to focus on the analysis of the various factors which are responsible for affecting the performance of a solar PV system. However, the performance is judged on the basis of the power output from the panel, so the analysis will be done of the factors which directly or indirectly affect the power output thus the power rating of the panel or “Solar PV systems”. So, this project provides the theoretical studies also of the photovoltaic systems using its electric equivalent systems. The relation of the power output from the panel is also considered for analysis in this project as to study how increasing or decreasing temperatures affects the power output from the panel. So the temperature effect is analyzed in this project to understand the behavior of the system under the influence of temperature. The proposed model is based on a behavioral cell model for modeling solar radiance to electricity conversion and for implementing electrical characteristic of limited power systems in power simulations. This project work presents the modeling and simulation of solar photovoltaic system for a practical system. The solar photovoltaic (PV) system simulation model using MATLAB/ Simulink simulation environment and MATLAB code is prepared and performance is obtained for different working conditions.
