Abstract
This paper proposes a novel simplified two-diode model of a photovoltaic (PV) module. The main aim of this study is to represent a PV module as an ideal two-diode model. In order to reduce computational time, the proposed model has a photocurrent source, i.e., two ideal diodes, neglecting the series and shunt resistances. Only four unknown parameters from the datasheet are required in order to analyze the proposed model. The simulation results that are obtained by MATLAB/Simulink are validated with experimental data of a commercial PV module, using different PV technologies such as multicrystalline and monocrystalline, supplied by the manufacturer. It is envisaged that this work can be useful for professionals who require a simple and accurate PV simulator for their design.
