Software for the modeling and simulation of PV module’s electric characteristics
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a graphical user interface developed under Labview environment that allows, from experimental data, the calculation and extraction of parameters of the one diode model and of the parameters in reverse bias and all other electrical parameters of a PV module. These parameters will be displayed with the different curves, measurement conditions and technological characteristics of the PV module. Based on these extracted parameters, this interface also enables the simulation of the IV characteristic of PV modules. This allows the comparison of experimental results with theoretical results for the purposes of validation and the calculation of STC performances. In addition, a report similar to a datasheet can be printed. The results obtained for several PV modules were very satisfactory. Practical example and results obtained with real system are presented in this paper.
