“…Having the two main components of solar radiation, direct and diffuse, and using the above relations, we are able to calculate the total radiation on a tilted panel 32 . The output power of the PV panel at time t ( P pv, t ) can be calculated as follows: where P r ,pv is the PV rated power, I t is the solar radiation on the panel (W/m 2 ), I ref is the solar radiation at reference conditions (1000 W/m 2 ), N T is the temperature coefficient of PV panel (3.5 × 10 −3 1/°C), T ref is the cell temperature at reference conditions, and T c , t is the cell temperature at time t (°C) which can be calculated as follows: where T air is the ambient air temperature (°C), and NOCT is the normal operating celltemperature (°C) 15,35,36 . NOCT is the cell temperature at the condition in which the solar radiation flux is 800 W/m 2 , the ambient temperature is 20°C, the average wind speed is 1 m/s, and the electrical load is zero (open circuit).…”
