Comprehensive modeling and simulation of photovoltaic system performance by using matlab/simulink: integrating dynamic meteorological parameters for enhanced accuracy

Abstract

AbstractStudying the operation of photovoltaic panels in the presence of varying meteorological parameters is a complex undertaking that requires the development of models to understand the physical phenomena associated with different meteorological factors. The main aim of this study is to examine the impact of meteorological factors, such as illuminance, temperature, and wind speed, on the performance of photovoltaic modules. Our goal is to develop precise models that illustrate how these factors affect the output of a photovoltaic system at a specific location. To achieve this, we utilized a rigorously validated mathematical model, previously tested with photovoltaic simulation software such as PVsyst, enabling accurate prediction of photovoltaic installation output. We compared the results of our simulations, conducted with the chosen mathematical model, with those obtained from PVsyst software. Subsequently, we validated the accuracy of our proposed model using real operating conditions simulated by PVsyst. Additionally, we incorporated additional curves, not available in the PVsyst database, accounting for wind speed as a meteorological parameter.
