Modeling and Simulation of Environmental Factors on the Operating Characteristics of PV Module

Abstract

This paper researched the power generation characteristics of PV module by a variety of environmental factors through building a simulation model. Based on this module, it analyzed the effect of environmental factors, such as temperature, light intensity, dust deposition and other factors when the PV module operating respectively. Then, author compared the simulation data with the distributed PV system operating data in Shanghai to verify the reliability of the model. On the analysis of these data, this paper deeply researched the PV module output power and the variation of the attenuation characteristics.
