Abstract

The single-diode model (SDM) is widely used in photovoltaic (PV) system modeling and output power estimation because of its simplicity and accuracy. This article proposed an improved and comprehensive method for parameter identification and performance estimation by using manufacturer datasheet information for PV module. The temperature dependence of all physical parameters in SDM of PV module is comprehensively considered and investigated for varying operating conditions. In the proposed method, all physical parameters under reference condition and their temperature coefficients are calculated from information in manufacturer datasheet, which can be used for parameter calculation and output power estimation under varying operating conditions. To improve the accuracy and efficiency, the analytical and optimization methods are combined in calculation procedure of parameter extraction. By using analytical derivation from I–V equations at key operating points and their temperature coefficients, it reduces the dimensions of the search space and save computational cost for parameter optimization. The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method are validated by massive experimental data under varying operating conditions for different type PV modules. The proposed processes are simple and especially useful to calculate the actual performances of PV modules under operating conditions, making it scalable for direct online application.
