Abstract

Photovoltaic solar energy consists of the direct conversion of sunlight into electricity by means of solar cells. These cells, electrically interconnected in series and/or in parallel, form the photovoltaic generator (GPV). The efficiency of the GPV is influenced by the irradiation and the temperature. In the intertropical zone, these two atmospheric factors vary rapidly and considerably influence the efficiency of the photovoltaic generator. This paper highlights the characteristics of the four-parameter cell photovoltaic generator when these two parameters (irradiance and/or temperature) vary rapidly. The simulation results obtained with the MATLAB/SIMULINK software show that with the four-parameter model the response time of the generator is proportional to the variation of the irradiance, i.e. the irradiance perturbation has an almost instantaneous effect on the current delivered by the photovoltaic generator and, when the temperature increases, the maximum power decreases, which confirms the correlation between these parameters. In fact, it can be seen that the developed model gives results close to the values provided by the manufacturers (five parameters) for amorphous, monocrystalline and polycrystalline cells with relative errors varying between 0.015 and 1.26%. The response time of the PV generator obtained with this model is 2 ms. The evaluation of the simulation method was also performed.
