Abstract
This Paper presents a detailed study on the types of modelling of the PV Panel for simulation studies. The main concern of this
study is to analyze the results and compare them under standard test conditions. PV systems are generally integrated with specific
control algorithms in order to extract the maximum possible power. Hence it is highly imperative that the Maximum Power Point
(MPP) is achieved effectively and thus we need to design a model from which the MPPT algorithm can be realized in an efficient
way. Also other parameters should be taken into account for finding the best model for the use in simulation. It is very important
to choose the appropriate model based on the application. The models used for study in this paper include the single diode model,
two diode model and Simscape modelling. MATLAB/Simulink presents a powerful tool to study such systems. The work tests the
accuracy of the models under different temperature and irradiance conditions. The two diode model is known to have better
accuracy at low irradiance levels which allows for a more accurate prediction of PV system performance. Simscape, part of
Simulink environment, has a solar cell block that makes building a PV model straightforward and much easier programming with
full demonstration to all system details. On the basis of the study, the best model that can be used for simulation purposes can be
selected. It is envisaged that the work can be very useful for professionals who require simple and accurate PV simulators for
their design. All the systems here are modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
Keywords: PV cell, STC, MATLAB Simulink, Ideality Factor

1. INTRODUCTION
There are two major problems presently that the world is
presently facing i.e. energy crisis and climate change .The
environmental issues are caused mostly by the over
reliability on the fossil fuels as the prime energy source for
everyday activities. The increasing energy consumption due
to the development of the technology is another major issue
in the world both the problems can be overcome at the same
time by introducing renewable energy sources. They play a
very healthy part in building a “greener” and more
sustainable energy for the plant. The renewable energy
sources are clean, economical, abundant and the do not
cause harm to the environment by emitting harmful CO2
gases. Solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, geothermal
energy, tidal energy and biomass are the sources of
renewable energy. Out of all these energies, solar energy is
the most reliable source since; sun is an infinite energy
reservoir. The solar energy that hits the earth’s surface in
one hour is equivalent to the energy consumed by all human
activities in a year. The sunlight is converted into electricity
by using the photovoltaic effect.
Photovoltaic effect is a phenomenon through which a
collection of light-generated carries by the P-N junction
causes a movement of electron to the N-type side and holes
to the P-type side of junction. This acts as a source of
current. Due to the high cost of PV modules, optimal
utilization of the available solar energy is imperative. This
requires an accurate, reliable and comprehensive simulation
of the designed system before installation. PV cell modeling
is a very important factor that affects the output of the PV
cell. Temperature (T), Irradiance (G), have influence on the
open circuit voltage (Voc) and short circuit current (Isc)
which determine the power generation.
2. PV CELL MODELLING
The simplest way of representing the solar cell is the single
diode model. It consists of a current source in parallel to a
diode. The parameters required are short circuit current (Isc),
open circuit voltage (Voc) and the diode ideality factor (a).
The ideality factor of a diode is a measure of how closely
the diode follows the ideal diode equation. Due to the
presence of recombination losses, ideality factor other than
ideal are produced. The basic model is improved for
accuracy by introducing the series resistance (Rs).It does not
prove to be efficient under temperature variations. To
overcome this drawback, an additional shunt resistance (Rp)
is included. This increases the parameters to a considerable
level and the computations are increased. Although Rp is
added, the model fails under low irradiation conditions.
To improve the accuracy, the two diode model is introduced
where another diode is included in parallel to the already
prevailing current source and diode. The addition of the
diode leads to complexity. All the parameters need to be
estimated and thus requires large computational time.
Although greater accuracy can be achieved by this model, it
requires the computation of seven parameters namely

Ipv,Io1,Io2,Rp,Rs,a1 and a2. A three diode model of a solar cell
has also been proposed taking into account the effect of
large leakage current and also including the non-linearity of
a solar cell.
Simscape is a tool provided by MATLAB which provides an
environment for modelling and simulating physical systems
spanning mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and other
physical domains. Simscape components use physical
connection to match the structure of the system being
developed. Solar cell block in Simscape gives us a choice
between two models containing eight parameters and five
parameters respectively. In the latest version of MATLAB
there is an option to set the number of series cells greater
than one. This results in a more efficient simulation than if
equations for each cell were simulated individually.
Internally the block still simulates only the equipment for a
single solar cell, but scales up the output voltage according
to the number of cells.
3. SIMULATION PARAMETERS
A Single PV Cell is used for simulation for the study. The
cells can be connected by increasing the number of cells in
series and parallel based on the load requirement. The PV

5. TWO DIODE MODEL
The single diode model was formulated based on the
assumption that recombination loss in the depletion region is
absent. In a practical solar cell, the recombination loss must
be taken in to account and thus this leads to a more definite
model known as the two diode model. The output current
equation is given as:

Fig -13: Solar cell model in Simscape
The solar cell in electronics represents single solar cell as a
parallel current source(Iph) an exponential diode D and a
shunt resistance (Rp) that are connected in series with a
resistance (Rs). The mathematical equations used in the
single diode and two-diode model are applicable for the
Simscape model as well.

Fig -15: 8-parameter model
The block can be parameterized in terms of short-circuit
current and open-circuit voltage. This block allows
enclosing one of the two models: a model with eight
parameters and a model with five parameters. It is assumed
that the impedance of Rp is infinite and the saturation
current of the second diode is zero. The model with five
parameters allows optimization of this block according to
the equivalent circuit model parameters or by short circuit
current and open circuit voltage.

7. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
In order to compare various PV models, a small scale PV
cell of 0.8 watts is considered. The four models i.e.,
mathematical modeling of single diode and two diode model
and the Simscape modeling of the single diode and two
diode model are simulated and their PV Characteristics are
plotted in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The
Comparison of the PV Characteristics are shown in the
below figure:

Fig -25: V-I Curves for G=1000W/m2
and T=25o
C
Fig -26 P-V Curves for G=1000W/m2
and T=25o
C
It can be observed from Fig 25 and Fig 26 that the two-
diode model gives a better precise output under temperature
and irradiation variation, with respect to the single-diode
model. This is observed as the single diode models were
built on the assumption that the recombination losses were
absent in the depletion region, which is not applicable in real
solar cell especially at low voltages. The observed
difference between the power generated from the single
diode and the two diode models is 0.13W under STC. It was
also found from the plots that PV Simscape model is a more
precise tool to simulate the PV systems. The difference
between the Simscape modelling and the Mathematical
modelling of 0.02W under STC. The Simscape based Solar
cell focuses mainly on the dynamic output of the solar cells
Thus, it is clear that Simscape yields more accurate results
than the Mathematical modeling of the PV Cell. The results
can be observed from the Tables 3-4.

8. CONCLUSION
Simulation tools are very mandatory for developing and
handling mathematical simulations for handling
mathematical simulations for analyzing the behavior of PV
Systems. They embolden the process of progressing the
study of new systems like power converters, inverters etc.,
for reducing cost and time. In this paper, a study on the
various mathematical modeling of PV array is discussed.
The models discussed are single diode model, two diode
model and Simscape modeling of the 8-parameter and 5-
parameter model. It can be revealed from the results that the
Simscape modelled Solar cells i.e., the single diode and two
diode model has comparably better accuracy that the
formulated models. The appropriate modeling of the solar
cells can facilitate proficient work in the area of MPPT even
under varying atmospheric conditions.

A study on modelling and simulation of photovoltaic cells

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 03 Issue: 11 | Nov-2014, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 101 A STUDY ON MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS B.Sai Pranahita1 , A. Sai Kumar2 , A. Pradyush Babu3 1 M.Tech Student, Dept of EEE, SRM University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India 2 M.Tech Student, Dept of EEE, SRM University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India 3 M.Tech Student, Dept of EEE, SRM University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India Abstract This Paper presents a detailed study on the types of modelling of the PV Panel for simulation studies. The main concern of this study is to analyze the results and compare them under standard test conditions. PV systems are generally integrated with specific control algorithms in order to extract the maximum possible power. Hence it is highly imperative that the Maximum Power Point (MPP) is achieved effectively and thus we need to design a model from which the MPPT algorithm can be realized in an efficient way. Also other parameters should be taken into account for finding the best model for the use in simulation. It is very important to choose the appropriate model based on the application. The models used for study in this paper include the single diode model, two diode model and Simscape modelling. MATLAB/Simulink presents a powerful tool to study such systems. The work tests the accuracy of the models under different temperature and irradiance conditions. The two diode model is known to have better accuracy at low irradiance levels which allows for a more accurate prediction of PV system performance. Simscape, part of Simulink environment, has a solar cell block that makes building a PV model straightforward and much easier programming with full demonstration to all system details. On the basis of the study, the best model that can be used for simulation purposes can be selected. It is envisaged that the work can be very useful for professionals who require simple and accurate PV simulators for their design. All the systems here are modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Keywords: PV cell, STC, MATLAB Simulink, Ideality Factor --------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION There are two major problems presently that the world is presently facing i.e. energy crisis and climate change .The environmental issues are caused mostly by the over reliability on the fossil fuels as the prime energy source for everyday activities. The increasing energy consumption due to the development of the technology is another major issue in the world both the problems can be overcome at the same time by introducing renewable energy sources. They play a very healthy part in building a “greener” and more sustainable energy for the plant. The renewable energy sources are clean, economical, abundant and the do not cause harm to the environment by emitting harmful CO2 gases. Solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy and biomass are the sources of renewable energy. Out of all these energies, solar energy is the most reliable source since; sun is an infinite energy reservoir. The solar energy that hits the earth’s surface in one hour is equivalent to the energy consumed by all human activities in a year. The sunlight is converted into electricity by using the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic effect is a phenomenon through which a collection of light-generated carries by the P-N junction causes a movement of electron to the N-type side and holes to the P-type side of junction. This acts as a source of current. Due to the high cost of PV modules, optimal utilization of the available solar energy is imperative. This requires an accurate, reliable and comprehensive simulation of the designed system before installation. PV cell modeling is a very important factor that affects the output of the PV cell. Temperature (T), Irradiance (G), have influence on the open circuit voltage (Voc) and short circuit current (Isc) which determine the power generation. 2. PV CELL MODELLING The simplest way of representing the solar cell is the single diode model. It consists of a current source in parallel to a diode. The parameters required are short circuit current (Isc), open circuit voltage (Voc) and the diode ideality factor (a). The ideality factor of a diode is a measure of how closely the diode follows the ideal diode equation. Due to the presence of recombination losses, ideality factor other than ideal are produced. The basic model is improved for accuracy by introducing the series resistance (Rs).It does not prove to be efficient under temperature variations. To overcome this drawback, an additional shunt resistance (Rp) is included. This increases the parameters to a considerable level and the computations are increased. Although Rp is added, the model fails under low irradiation conditions. To improve the accuracy, the two diode model is introduced where another diode is included in parallel to the already prevailing current source and diode. The addition of the diode leads to complexity. All the parameters need to be estimated and thus requires large computational time. Although greater accuracy can be achieved by this model, it requires the computation of seven parameters namely

A three diode model of a solar cell has also been proposed taking into account the effect of large leakage current and also including the non-linearity of a solar cell. Simscape is a tool provided by MATLAB which provides an environment for modelling and simulating physical systems spanning mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and other physical domains. Simscape components use physical connection to match the structure of the system being developed. Solar cell block in Simscape gives us a choice between two models containing eight parameters and five parameters respectively. In the latest version of MATLAB there is an option to set the number of series cells greater than one. This results in a more efficient simulation than if equations for each cell were simulated individually. Internally the block still simulates only the equipment for a single solar cell, but scales up the output voltage according to the number of cells. 3.

This is observed as the single diode models were built on the assumption that the recombination losses were absent in the depletion region, which is not applicable in real solar cell especially at low voltages. The observed difference between the power generated from the single diode and the two diode models is 0.13W under STC. It was also found from the plots that PV Simscape model is a more precise tool to simulate the PV systems. The difference between the Simscape modelling and the Mathematical modelling of 0.02W under STC. The Simscape based Solar cell focuses mainly on the dynamic output of the solar cells Thus, it is clear that Simscape yields more accurate results than the Mathematical modeling of the PV Cell. The results can be observed from the Tables 3-4.

CONCLUSION Simulation tools are very mandatory for developing and handling mathematical simulations for handling mathematical simulations for analyzing the behavior of PV Systems. They embolden the process of progressing the study of new systems like power converters, inverters etc., for reducing cost and time. In this paper, a study on the various mathematical modeling of PV array is discussed. The models discussed are single diode model, two diode model and Simscape modeling of the 8-parameter and 5- parameter model. It can be revealed from the results that the Simscape modelled Solar cells i.e., the single diode and two diode model has comparably better accuracy that the formulated models. The appropriate modeling of the solar cells can facilitate proficient work in the area of MPPT even under varying atmospheric conditions. REFERENCES [1]. Mr. G.
