Abstract

The photovoltaic (PV) model is used in a simulation study to validate the system design of a PV system. This work presents the modeling and the simulation of the PV module using the Matlab environment taking into consideration the measurements carried out under real working conditions in Tetouan (northern Morocco). The model is developed based on the mathematical model of the PV module. A particular PV module is selected for the analysis of the developed model. The three-dimensional profile of solar radiation used in this work is presented. The output current and power characteristic curves, which highly depend on some climatic factors such as solar radiation and temperature, are obtained by simulation for the selected module and discussed. The instantaneous power production characteristics of the 12 months of the year are presented and interpreted.
