Abstract. Almost all of the energy of solar power supply system comes from solar energy, which is a kind of pollutionfree green energy, using independent photovoltaic system as base station power supply. In this paper, taking the solar power system as the research object, we made MATLAB simulation analysis of the independent solar photovoltaic system battery array. The simulation results showed that the output voltage and the output current of the solar array based on solar power system are affected by the illumination intensity and temperature change. In addition, it also showed that at any temperature and illumination intensity, there will a largest output power.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) design requires multidisciplinary approach in the field of wireless communication, embedded systems, networking, digital signal processing, hardware and software engineering. Major factors to influence the WSNs design are hardware and software constraints, scalability, cost, transmission media, network topology and power consumption etc. Most of WSN nodes are battery powered. With the limited capacity of batteries to power WSN nodes, need of energy harvester or scavenger is required to harvest or scavenge energy from the environment to improve the life-time of the sensor node. The harvested or scavenged energy is converted by power converters to recharge the sensor nodes or for the storage devices. This paper gives current developments of energy harvesting technologies, power converters and storage devices proposed by various researchers in WSNs along with some open research problems.

“…PV cells and modules have been modeled [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] mathematically and/or within commercial simulators. Diodebased circuits have typically represented the PV module.…”

“…This piecewise linear results in smoother I-V and P-V curves than with the one diode model. Dondi et al [12] presented a PV cell model for solar energy powered sensor networks, suitable over a wide range of irradiance intensity, cell temperature variation and incident angle. Our simple model does not use Azab's more precise piecewise linear model which increases the number of diodes (complexity) in the model, as we are mainly interested in determining the PV module's maximum power output, which our model accurately derives.…”

Abstract-Solar energy has received attention in the MiddleEast given the abundant and free irradiance and extended sunny weather. Although photovoltaic panels were introduced decades ago, they have recently become economical and gained traction. We present a mathematical model for series-parallel photovoltaic modules, evaluate the model, and present the I-V and P-V characteristic plots for various temperatures, irradiance, and diode ideality factors. The power performance results are then analyzed and recommendations are made. Unlike other related work, our evaluation uses standard spreadsheet software avoiding commercial simulation packages and application programming. Results indicate improved power performance with irradiance and parallel connections of cell series branches. Given the hot weather in our region, increasing the number of cells connected in series from 36 to 72 is not recommended.
