A new approach to estimate the performance and energy productivity of photovoltaic modules in real operating conditions

A simple but accurate procedure for solving the five-parameter model

“…Such algorithms are powerful but they are rather unfamiliar for most engineers involved in practical applications. In [27] different solutions for the five-parameter model based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm are compared in terms of rRMSE. In general, rRMSE is less than 4% but there are some numerical algorithms for which rRMSE exceed 10%.…”

The irradiance and temperature dependent mathematical model for estimation of photovoltaic panel performances

“…The errors of current errors of 2.12% and power errors of 1.97% at the MPP are reported in [5]. The errors of the power at the MPP within 1.8% of monocrystalline, 1% of polycrystalline and 4.2% of amorphous PV panel for the comparison of the five models from literature is reported in [9]. In Ref.…”

“…temperature. The series resistance R s changes linear with temperature and logarithmically with irradiance, R sh changes reciprocal with radiance and is calculated according to proposed iterative procedure in [9]. Constant R s , R sh reciprocal dependent on irradiance, n linear dependent on temperature and I 0 changes with temperature are used in [10].…”

Simple mathematical approach to solar cell/panel behavior based on datasheet information

“…In Refs. [3][4][5][6][7][8] a thorough review of the different methods for fitting the equivalent circuit to the solar cell/ panel behavior can be found. The equivalent circuit parameter extraction process is not an immediate task, and even doing it by analytical methods it requires a quite large number of calculations [1,2].…”
