Approximate Single-Diode Photovoltaic Model for Efficient I-V Characteristics Estimation

Approximate Single-Diode Photovoltaic Model for Efficient I-V Characteristics Estimation

Precise photovoltaic (PV) behavior models are normally described by nonlinear analytical equations. To solve such equations, it is necessary to use iterative procedures. Aiming to make the computation easier, this paper proposes an approximate single-diode PV model that enables high-speed prediction...
