MATLAB/Simulink Based Modeling of Photovoltaic Cell

This paper focuses on a MATLAB/Simulink model of a photovoltaic cell. This model is based on mathematical equations and is described through an equivalent circuit including a photocurrent source, a diode, a series resistor and a shunt resistor.The developed model allows the prediction of PV cell behavior under different physical and environmental parameters. The model can also be used to extract the physical parameters for a given solar PV cell...
