The aim of the present work is to introduce some improvements on the four parametermodel of the photovoltaic cells in order to fit the variation of the current voltage characteristic under various operating conditions. That is achieved by modifying both the open voltage equation and the voltage at the maximum power point, in order to take into consideration the effects of the variation of the equivalent circuit parameters with irradiation and temperature. The accuracy of this model is verified by using seven PV modules of different types (mono-crystalline, multi-crystalline, and thin-film) from various manufacturers and compared with the fiveparameter and the two diode models, where it gives the same or better performances. Moreover, it is motivated by the known simplicity of the four parametermodel and the small amount of input data requested which can make it as a valuable tool for PV power converter designers and circuit simulator developers.

Fast and accurate electrical models of PV systems are crucial for their design. Electrical models of PV devices range from very simple scaling equations to complex models requiring large amount of experimental data. The purpose of the present work is two-fold. First, an optimization methodology to estimate the modelparameters for the fiveparameter single-diode equivalent electrical circuit model of PV devices using only manufacturer supplied data is presented and compared to three electrical models from literature for six different PV modules. Second, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to identify the relative importance of the fivemodelparameters. Using the results of sensitivity analysis, the electrical model is improved by including two additional parameters. The suggested model modification results in marked improvement in the prediction accuracy for all six modules considered. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Predictive performance tools are an important factor in the success of any new technology because they permit demonstration of whether a system will be efficient and economically feasible. A reliable predictive tool should allow the designer to optimise system performance and to maximise the cost effectiveness of a system prior to installation. This article discusses the five main parametric models for photovoltaic (PV) systems available in the literature. The current-voltage characteristics of a photovoltaic module can be reproduced modelling the PV panel as an equivalent electrical circuit made of linear and non-linear components. The parameters describing such components are directly related to the performance characteristics of the specific PV panel, which are generally available in a graphic form with respect to standard values of temperature and incident irradiance. five of the most recent models are analysed in detail describing the algorithm, showing how the parameters were determined and highlighting the most important mathematical and physical assumptions that characterised each model and the calculation process. To simplify the examination and reading of the procedures referred to in the fivemodels, all equations are rewritten using the same nomenclature. Furthermore, to assess the accuracy of each model with respect to the data provided by the manufacturer, this paper compares the I-V and P-V curves at various temperatures and irradiance for a generic PV panel.

Equivalent electric circuit modeling of PV devices is widely used to predict PV electrical performance. The first task in using the model to calculate the electrical characteristics of a PV device is to find the modelparameters which represent the PV device. In the present work, parameter estimation for the modelparameter using various evolutionary algorithms is presented and compared. The constraint set on the estimation process is that only the data directly available in module datasheets can be used for estimating the parameters. The electrical model accuracy using the estimated parameters is then compared to several electrical models reported in literature for various PV cell technologies. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
