Static and Dynamic Photovoltaic Cell/Module Parameters Identification
The accurate parameters extraction is an important step to obtain a robust PV outputs forecasting for static or dynamic modes. For these aims, several approaches have been proposed for photovoltaic (PV) cell modeling including electrical circuit-based model, empirical models, and non-parametrical models. Moreover, numerous parameter extraction methods have been introduced in the literature depending on the proposed model and the operating mode. These methods can be classified into two main approaches including automatic numerical and analytical approaches. These approaches are commonly applied in the static mode, whereas they can be employed for dynamic parameters extraction. In this chapter, as a first stage, the static parameters extraction for both single and double diodes models is exposed wherein Genetic Algorithm and outdoor measurements are considered for fixed irradiation and temperature. In the second stage, a dynamic parameters extraction is carried out using Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, where 1 day profile outdoor measurement is considered. After that, the robustness of the proposed approaches is evaluated and the parameters obtained by the static method and that given by the dynamic technique are compared. The test is carried out using 3 days with different weather conditions profiles. The obtained results show that the parameters extraction by dynamic techniques gives satisfactory performances in terms of agreement with the real data.
