Three Dimensional Transient Numerical Modeling of Temperature Distribution and Output Power in Photovoltaic Module

According to the effect of temperature on the output power of a photovoltaic module, this research tries to calculate the temperature distribution in a photovoltaic module by numerical solving of the energy balance equations. Therefore, its output power can be accurately predicted. For this purpose, several photovoltaic modules are modeled in detail in the COMSOL software. A new method for calc...

Maximum Power Tracking for Photovoltaic Power Systems

The electric power supplied by a photovoltaic power generation system depends on the solar radiation and temperature. Designing efficient PV systems heavily emphasizes to track the maximum power operating point. This work develops a novel three-point weight comparison method that avoids the oscillation problem of the perturbation and observation algorithm which is often employed to track the ma...
