INTRODUCTIONIncreasing world’s population demand more energy. Thetraditional nonrenewable energy source fails to fulfill thedemand because is not economical and viable for sustainabledevelopment. As a result, in recent days renewable energysources play a vital role to meet the power demand of thegrowing population in the world. Apart from contributing toreduce the emission of greenhouses gases, they added muchexpected facility to the energy sources by decreasing ourdependency on fossil fuels [1]. The renewable energy sourceis the best solution to the power crisis problem and Solar PVis at the top of the option lists of renewable energy. As itoffers some key qualities like having no waste and emission,resulting no adverse effects on the environment and ideallysuited for distributed resource applications [2]. The amount ofsun’s energy comes to earths is estimated as 1018kWh/a whichshould be utilized [3]. Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate DCelectricity when sunlight shines on the PV array. The DCpower is stored to a storage system. An inverter converts DCto AC to power local loads [4].So PV systems consist of a PV generator (cell, module, array),energy storage devices (such as batteries), DC to ACconverter (Inverter). This article refers about a model formodeling and simulation of Solarex MSX 120, a typical120W PV module based on Shockley diode equation andNewton-Raphson iteration method in MATLAB. Single diodeand two diode model provide better relations with a practicalsolar cell keeping in mind the simplicity in implementationand the iteration speed in the extracting parameters as well asI-V and P-V curves also give minimum error with respect tocharacteristics of solar PV cell as per manufacturer sdatasheet [5]. For this paper single diode model is chosen.2. PV MODULE BASICSPhotovoltaic (PV) effect means, when solar energy (photons)hits the solar cell, with energy greater than band gap energy ofthe semiconductor, electrons come out from the atoms in thematerial, creating electron-hole pairs. Due to the impact of theinternal electric fields those carriers result current. Generatedcurrent is directly proportional to the perpetration irradiation.A PV cell, the functional unit of photovoltaic generator, is ap-n semiconductor device that converts sunlight into DCcurrent (electricity) using photovoltaic effect. In the dark, theI-V output characteristics of a PV cell and a diode are similar.When the cell is short circuited, this current flows in theexternal circuit; when open circuited, this current is shuntedinternally by the intrinsic p-n junction diode. Thecharacteristics of this diode therefore set the open circuitvoltage characteristics of the cell [6]. Large numbers of PVcells are attached in series and parallel summation accordingto energy requirements. This arrangement is known as PVmodule. A PV array is defined as group of manifold PVmodules which are altogether connected with each otherin series and parallel connections to increase the array voltageand current in the array respectively [7].3. MODELING THE PV CELLA PV cell is originally a silicon semiconductor junctiondevice that contains a p-n junction similar to a diode. Itgenerates electricity proportional to the incident sunlight.When light shines on the PV cell current flows from the ptype side to the n-type side across the p-n junction throughwire which is known as light generated or photo current IL.The equivalent circuit of a simple PV cell can be modeled bya current source in parallel with a diode, a shunt resistancedeclaring a leakage current and a series resistance describing39

International Journal of Computer Applications (0975 – 8887)Volume 178 – No.3, November 2017Typical electrical characteristics of MSX120, 120W PVmodule is shown in table 1. These data represent theperformance of a typical MSX120, wired in 24Vconfiguration, as measured at its output terminals, and do notinclude the effect of additional equipment such as diode andcabling. Note that all the data are based on measurementsmade in a solar simulator at standard test conditions (STC)such as Illumination of 1 kW/m2 (1 sun) at spectraldistribution of AM 1.5 and Cell temperature of 25 C or asotherwise specified on the curves. Electrical characteristics ofMSX-120s wired in 12V configuration could be found on the12V I-V curve scales, or by doubling 24V current data andhalving 24V voltage data.Under most operating conditions, the cells in a moduleoperate hotter than the ambient temperature. NOCT (NominalOperating Cell Temperature) is an indication of thistemperature rise, and is the cell temperature under StandardOperating Conditions (SOC), such as i) 20 C ambienttemperature, ii) solar irradiation of 0.8 kW/m2, and iii)average wind speed of 1 m/s with the wind oriented parallel tothe plane of the array, and all sides of the array fully exposedto the wind.Table 1: Typical electrical characteristics of SolarexMSX120, 120W PV module [10]ParameterMaximum power P max Value120W2Voltage at34.2VP max ,V maxCurrent at P max ,MinimumIm ax114WP maxShort-circuit current3.5AISCOpen-circuit voltage3.8A42.6VTemperature coefficientof ISC 0.065 0.015 %Temperature coefficientof VOC 160 20 mVTemperature coefficientof power 0.5 0.05 % º C47 2 CMaximum systemvoltage600VMaximum series fuserating20A4. IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTALVARIABLES ON PROPOSED MODELThere are some model equations to determine the impact ofthe ambient irradiation G and the cell temperature T on thecell characteristics. Photocurrent IL (A) is directly proportionalto solar irradiance G (W/m2). The diode allows negligiblecurrent to flow in short circuit mode. Hence the proportionallyconstant in (eqn. 5) has to set in such a way so that the ratedshort circuit current ISC could be delivered under ratedirradiation. Generally solar intensities are considered withrespect to full solar radiation at sea level with averagehumidity and aerosol particulate concentration (1 Sun 1000Watt/m2). But, there is no significant variation of the PVcell performance between full sun and cloudy conditions.Output power is directly proportional to the incident solarenergy where the efficiency remains constant. Change ofphoto-current with the change of temperature (eqn. 6) expressthat the relationship between the photo-current andtemperature is linear (eqn. 4). Shockley equation gives therelationship between the cell’s terminal voltage and currentfor a not illuminated cell. Open circuited and illuminated cellhas photo-current through it. Here, I-V curve is offset fromthe origin by the photo generated current IL (eqn. 1). The opencircuit voltage and short circuit current at 25 C are used tocalculate (eqn. 8) the saturation current IS at that temperature.For “ideality factor”, according to Green’s statements, it takesa value between 1 and 2, being close to one at high currents,ascending towards two at low currents and 1.3 ideality factor issuggested as typical in normal operation and initial use [1113]. The relationship of IS to temperature is complex, butcontains no variables requiring evaluation (eqn. 7) [14].Where the series resistance of the circuit has a great influenceon the slope of the I-V curve at V VOC. Equations 9 and 10are found by differentiating equation 1, evaluating at V VOCand rearranging in terms of Rs [15].5. SIMULATION RESULTS OF THEMATLAB PV MODELVOCNOCT 2The series resistance is considered in the model which makesthe solution for current I, a nonlinear problem, that could besolved by numerical methods. Newton-Raphson method isused as it offers rapid convergence for both positive andnegative currents. A matlab script file is implementedconsidering the parameters of the chosen PV module.ºCºCThe result of the MATLAB function is shown for variousirradiation levels, temperatures, diode quality factors, andmodel series resistances. The plots of I-V and P-V curves areproduced by varying certain parameter at one time andkeeping other parameters constant at standard test conditions.The mathematical program for MSX120, 120W PV module isimplemented in matlab script file as shown in figure 2.Figure 3 and figure 4 shows I-V and P-V characteristicscurves for various solar irradiations (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 suns)respectively. From figure 3, it is observed that cell currentincreases proportionally with the increase of irradiation, butcell voltage increases very little. From figure 4, output poweralso increases with the increase of irradiation and reachesnominal power point at standard test conditions.Figure 5 shows I-V characteristics curves for varioustemperatures (0 , 25 , 50 , 75 ). From figure 5, it is seenthat with the increase in temperature cell current increasesslightly but cell voltages decreases significantly.
