Modeling of the ND 240QCJ SHARP photovoltaic solar module and study the influence of the variation of the parameters

Abstract

Solar energy is inexhaustible on a human scale and freely available in very large quantities. In addition, during the operational phase, the production of electricity by means of photovoltaic panels is not polluting. The modeling, simulation and analysis of the solar photovoltaic (PV) generator is a vital phase before mounting the PV system at any location, which helps to understand the behavior and characteristics under real climatic conditions of this location and even physical too. This paper presents an easy and accurate method of modeling photovoltaic arrays. The photovoltaic array model can be simulated with any circuit simulator, in this article we have applied the Simulink Matlab as software for PV model simulation in all stages. The objective of this study is the modeling and simulation of the electrical operation of a solar PV model in the standard conditions and variants whether environmental such as temperature and irradiation or physical such as series resistance and shunt and clarification influence of these variants on system behavior. In our analysis, we designed a PV system where the PV generator is the ND-240QCJ 240 watt module manufactured by SHARP Solar Electricity producing, under standard test conditions (STC), a peak power of 240 W, an optimum current of 8.75 A and an optimum voltage of 37.5 V, is used as a reference.
