How accurate is a PV panel model based on evolutionary algorithm?

Results obtained for PV panel modeling using evolutionary algorithm show an accurate representation of PV panel characteristics and anti-noise ability of the model, especially with PSO. Despite a good accuracy, diode ideality factor is still an unknown parameter of PV panel.

What is PV panel modeling?

In power system applications, PV panel modeling require I – V and P – V characteristics so that electrical behavior of the power system could be studied. For studies where the effect of physical parameters like material doping, thickness of layers on electrical behavior of PV cell is desired, mathematical modeling is useful.

What is a PV model?

A PV model can be simply described as a mathematical representation of the electrical behavior of PV panels for simulating and predicting the performance of PV panels in commercial software environments such as MATLAB/SIMULINK, PSIM, etc. [23, 24, 25, 26].

Are PV models accurate in reconstructing characteristic curves for different PV panels?

Therefore, this review paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the accuracy of PV models in reconstructing characteristic curves for different PV panels. The limitations of existing PV models were identified based on simulation results obtained using MATLAB and performance indices.

What are the components of PV panel modeling?

These components include PV panel, Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT), Buck–Boost converter and DC–AC inverter. In power system applications, PV panel modeling require I – V and P – V characteristics so that electrical behavior of the power system could be studied.

What is a review of a PV panel?

The first part of review considers analytical models based on electrical equivalent circuit and mathematical equations. Second part gives a review of the experimental models, which considers the environmental conditions and their effect on electrical behavior of PV panel.
