    ABSTRACT

    Dynamic modeling is important to predict the energy productionof Photovoltaic (PV) systems. It is needed to make informedtechnical and economical decisions. The simulation models of PVsystems in literature are good enough for steady state analysis,

    but they are not suitable for dynamic analysis of grid operatingand control conditions. This paper proposes a dynamic PV modelsuitable for Decentralized Generation (DG) applications. The

    proposed model relates the electrical output of the PV system to

    various input environmental parameters. The model is developedin Matlab-Simulink environment, and it is validated comparingthe developed PV performance characteristic curves with those ofthe manufacturer's data sheet and those developed by a

    commercial software package for a Solarex-MSX 60W PV type.

    Key words: Photovoltaic (PV) model, Decentralized Generation(DG), Temperature coefficients.

    1. INTRODUCTIONDynamic modeling and simulation of modern Decentralized

    Generation (DG) electrical systems is a challenging process because of the several modeling steps presenting the power

    generation dynamics of the DG system [1]. Photovoltaic (PV)technology is offering one of the best DG power productionoptions [2]. Modeling of the PV system is needed for testingdifferent control algorithms and operation scenarios before real-

    time implementation. PV simulation models have been developedfor years. literature review of some of recent work is presented in[3-6].The work in those literatures uses general and simplifiedmathematical models, which are good enough for steady state

    analysis and for modeling the PV system annual performance.But those models lack the availability for dynamic analysis withreal grid conditions, and with various dynamic controlalgorithms. Other PV models are available within some

    commercial software packages. These packages are used forsizing and economic studies such as (Hybrid2, SOMES,PVSYST, Solar Studio, PV F-Chart, PV-Design Proetc) [7].These types of software can perform extensive sensitivity

    analysis, but they generally do not permit the user to modify theoperating algorithms that determine the behavior and interactionson individual system components. The PV model should bedynamic and flexible enough to easily present the components of

    the required PV equivalent circuit. The model should also predicthow PV current and voltage will vary with ambient temperatureand solar radiation conditions.

    2. PV MODELLING FRAMEWORKThere are some steps that form a proposed framework for

    building accurate and flexible model of the PV system. Thosesteps are briefly presented in Figure 1. In this paper, a PV modelis developed based on the proposed framework. This model allows

    the operation of a single solar cell, and hence a panel, to besimulated using available data from manufacturer data sheets, andfield tests. These data are used to provide values for the model

    parameters. The model is tested and verified by comparing the

    results showing the I-V and P-V characteristics to those providedby both the manufacturer, and a commercial PV software package.All the proposed modules are built using Matlab-Simulink [8],which is an open-architecture tool that has a high level of

    flexibility in the interaction of the model components as will beillustrated in the sections of this paper.

    2.1. PV Equivalent Electrical Circuit ModelIn the crystalline silicon PV module; The complex physics of

    the PV cell can be represented by the equivalent electrical circuit

    shown in Figure 2 For that equivalent circuit; a set of equationshave been derived, based on standard theory [10-12], that allowthe operation of a single solar cell, to be simulated using data from

    manufacturers or field experiments.

    Figure 2.Equivalent electrical circuit of PV module

    The circuit parameters are as follows [10-12]:

    The output-terminal current I equals to the light-generatedcurrent IL, less the diode-current Id and the shunt-leakagecurrent Ish.

    The series resistance Rs represents the internal resistance tothe current flow, and depends on the p-n junction depth, theimpurities and the contact resistance.

    The shunt resistance Rsh is inversely related with leakagecurrent to the ground.

    In an ideal PV cell, Rs = 0 (no series loss), and Rsh = (noleakage to ground). In a typical high quality one square inchsilicon cell, Rs = 0.05 to 0.10 ohm and Rsh = 200 to 300 ohms[10]. The PV conversion efficiency is sensitive to small variations

    in Rs, but is insensitive to variations in Rsh. A small increase in Rscan decrease the PV output significantly [10].

    2.2. Mathematical Modeling of the PV SystemThe equivalent circuit of Figure 2, the current delivered to the

    external load equals the current IL generated by the illumination,less the diode current Id and the ground-shunt current Ish. The loadcurrent is given by the expression:

    (1)where:

    V0 = Vsh = voltage on the diode and the shunt resistance

    Id = diode Current (A).The cell could be represented by a voltage-current equation:

    (2)where:

    V = cell output voltage (V).I = load (cell) output current (A).IL = Photocurrent (A).I0= Reverse diode saturation current (A).

    The two most important parameters widely used fordescribing the cell electrical performance are the open-circuitvoltage Voc and the short-circuit current Isc. The short-circuit

    current is measured by shorting the output terminals, andmeasuring the terminal current under full illumination. The

    maximum photo-voltage is produced under the open-circuitvoltage. The open circuit voltage Voc of the cell is obtained whenthe load current is zero, i.e., when I = 0.

    2.3. Mathematical Modeling of Environmental FactorsIn this research paper, a model of the PV system with

    increased accuracy and complexity could be developed byincluding temperature dependence of the photocurrent IL and the

    saturation current of the diode I0. The series resistance Rs isincluded, but the shunt resistance is ignored. The proposed modeladopts the simplified single diode version of the two diode model

    presented in [13]. In the proposed model a single diode could be

    used with adjusting the diode quality factor for the best curvefitting.

    The general equation describing the (I-V) characteristics of thePV cell is obtained from Eq.1 by ignoring the last term of the

    shunt resistance, and using the famous formula used for the diodecurrent [10], as follows:

    / 1 (3)where:

    IL = photocurrent (A).I0 = diode saturation current (A).

    q = electron charge = 1.6* 10-19 Coulombs.n = ideality factor.

    K = Boltzmann constant = 1.38 * 10-23 Joule/oK.Tr = rated cell temperature in Kelvin.Rs = cell series resistance (ohm).

    The non-linear Eq.3 describes the PV cell (I-V)characteristics, which adopts the equivalent circuit of PV cell

    presented in Figure 2 and includes an explicit solar radiationdependency of the photocurrent (IL). The diode current (Id) ismodeled as a thermally activated device to account for variationsof module performance with temperature. Eq.3 is considered as

    the benchmark model for a certain level of cell operating

    temperature (Tr) in Kelvin, and Solar radiation level (Gr) in(W/m2). If those two important environmental variables are takeninto consideration, the voltage and current output of the PV cell

    will follow their changes which should be included in the final PVcell model. When the cell is not illuminated, the relationship

    between the cells terminal voltage and current is given by theShockley equation [10]. When the cell is open circuited and

    illuminated, the photo-current flows entirely in the diode. The (I-V) curve is offset from the origin by the photo generated current ILas illustrated in Eq. 3.The value of the saturation current I0 at different operating

    temperatures is calculated as presented in Eq. 4 [12, 13]:

    (4)

    / 1 (4.a)where:

    Vg = The band gap voltageVoc(Tr) = Open Circuit voltage at rated operating conditions.Isc(Tr) = Short circuit current at rated operating conditions.

    An estimate must be made of the unknown ideality factor "n",which takes a value from 1 to 2. A value of 1.3 is suggested as

    typical in normal operation [6]. The relationship of I0 in Eq. 4 iscomplex, but fortunately contains no variables that requireevaluation [14]. The photocurrent IL(A) is directly proportional to

    solar radiation level G (W/m2), as presented in Eq. 5 [14]:

    1 (5) ,/ (5.a)

    (5.b)where:

    Isc = the short circuit temperature coefficient (A/sec)

    When the cell is short circuited, a negligible current flows in

    the diode. Hence the proportionality constant in Eq. 5.a is set sothe rated short circuit current ISC at the rated temperature isdelivered under rated radiation (usually 1 Sun =1000W/m2).

    The relationship between the photo-current and the

    temperature is linear in Eq. 5, and is deduced by noting the changeof photo-current with the change of temperature with the constant

    value Iscspecified in Eq.5.b.The open circuit voltage is varied with temperature as

    illustrated in Eq. 6:

    1 (6)where:VOC = the open circuit temperature coefficient (V/sec).

    The Manufacturers usually provide data about the temperature

    coefficients. Temperature coefficients provide the rate of change(derivative) with respect to temperature for the main PV

    performance parameters. ASTM standards address twotemperature coefficients, one for short circuit current and one for

    open circuit voltage [15, 16]. The temperature coefficient for opencircuit voltage is usually assumed to be independent of the solar

    radiation level, which is a reasonable simplification. Thetemperature coefficient for short circuit current must be scaled by

    the ratio of actual radiation level to the level of 1000 W/m2 used

    for determining the coefficients [17, 18]. All the constants in the

    above equations are provided for typical rating conditions of 25oCcell temperature, a prescribed solar radiation of 1000 W/m2

    radiation level, and zero angle of incidence.

    2.4. Building the PV Simulation ModelMatlab-Simulink is used for the modeling task [10]. The

    Simulink block diagram presenting the PV model is the core of

    the system model. The model is flexible for any number ofmodules connected in series and/or parallel branches dependingon the PV system power required. A Solarex MSX60 PV type [19]is chosen for PV array modeling. This type is well-suited for

    virtually all applications where PV systems are a feasible energysource, including pumping and irrigation, remote villages and

    clinics, and aids to navigation. The MSX60 module provides 60Watts of rated power, and has 36 series connected polycrystalline

    silicon cells. The performance of typical MSX60 modules isdescribed by the electrical characteristics parameters shown inTable 1[18, 19]. The Matlab-Simulink model is developed for onecell of the PV module based on the manufacturer data, and themathematical equations (from Eq. 3 to Eq. 6) as shown in Figure 3

    the output presents the PV cell operating current. Three sub-systems are combined to present the complete PV cell model forspecific type of PV systems such as the Solarex MSX60 type, as

    shown in Figure 4:1. Manufacturer data block: it presents the key specification

    parameters of the PV module type in Table 1.

    2. PV cell model bock: it presents one PV cell modeldeveloped in Figure.2.

    3. PV voltage block: this block is built to find the value ofthe PV cell output voltage based on Eq.2 to give the

    flexibility to use the model as a current or voltage sourceduring computer simulations, and to calculate the celloutput power.

    As discussed earlier in this paper the model is subjected to

    environmental conditions which are presented by the inputparameters of temperature and solar radiation level. The number

    of series connected modules and parallel branches are alsoincluded in the input parameters, as illustrated in the graphical

    user interface (GUI) block in Figure 5.

    3. TESTING AND VALIDATION OF THE MODELThe proposed model is able to calculate current, voltage, and

    power relationships, for different environmental conditions of

    solar radiations, and ambient temperatures. The I-V and P-Vcharacteristics are produced by the proposed model for the chosenPV array type through Matlab-Simulink environment. Thevalidations of the results are done for three steps:

    Validation under standard test conditions (full sun radiation(1000W/m2) and 25oC temperature).

    Validation under different temperature level.

    Validation under different solar radiation levels.Testing results of PV operating characteristics would be

    compared to the ones produced by PV commercial software, and

    the manufacturer data sheets, as will be explained in the followingsections.

    3.1 Model Validation under Standard Test Conditions

    The results are developed for standard test conditions of fullsun radiation (1000W/m2) and 25oC temperature, and they are

    presented in Figure 6.

    PV-Design Pro. software package [20] is used to present theI-V and P-V characteristics for the same PV type from a large data

    base built in it. This package is a detailed simulation program with

    algorithms developed by King et al. [21]. These algorithms areused for the annual performance prediction of PV systems such asPV powered water pumping system. Figure 7 shows the I-V andP-V characteristics for the Solarex MSX 60 as developed by the

    Comparison of the results in Table 2 shows that it is withinacceptable accuracy and that the model is well-designed tosimulate the performance characteristics of the actual MSX60 PV

    system under standard test conditions.

    3.2 Model Validation for Different Temperature Levels and

    Constant Radiation

    To assure the flexibility and the accuracy of the developed

    Simulink model, the model is tested under different temperaturelevel of 50oC, and the I-V and P-V characteristics are developedin Figure 8.

    The PV-Design Pro. offers a comparison between the I-Vcharacteristics for both 25oC and 50oC at a radiation of 1000

    W/m2, from which; it is possible to obtain the values of the I-Vcurve knee points of the voltage and the current which presentsthe maximum power points, as presented in Figure 9.

    software package. Results of comparison verify the accuracy ofthe developed Simulink model, and they show the model realityand flexibility with different levels of environmental conditions.The proposed model has the advantage of generalized structure so

    that it can be used for performance testing of different PVcommercial types, and it could be used for simulation and study ofdifferent decentralized generation applications by establishing

    proper interfacing and controllers, which will be investigated in a

    future work.
