Abstract

Nowadays, most of the country switched to generate their power by renewable energy sources as well as the power industries also mainly focused on the renewable resources for power generation. The renewable resources are solar, wind, biomass, and hydroelectric; out of these, the solar market is developing due to shortage of non-renewable resources. The solar energy is freely obtainable during the year; also, it provides a clean and noiseless environment. Most of the large- and small-scale industries and household consumers moved to generate the power through a PV solar cell. Most of the research work includes the modelling of the PV solar cell based on their requirement in a one-diode model. In this article, a detailed study is provided about the circuit-based single-diode solar cell (SCSC) model and double-diode solar cell (DDSC) with different conditions done in MATLAB/Simulink. Both the SDSC and DDSC models are tested with different values of temperature, irradiation, and shunt resistance. This work helps the researchers study V-I and P-V characteristics of the PV solar cell clearly with different conditions. The outputs of SDSC and DDSC models are compared with simulation outputs. Effect of partial shading is also discussed to get a better idea.
