Modeling and performance analysis of a generalized photovoltaic array in Matlab

A generalized photovoltaic array simulation model in Matlab/Simulink environment is developed and presented in this paper. The model includes PV module and array for easy use on simulation platform. The proposed model is designed with a user-friendly icon and a dialog box like Simulink block libraries. This makes the generalized PV model easily simulated and analyzed even with a maximum power point tracker. Considering the effect of solar...
