Many popular models for photovoltaic system performance (e.g., [1], [2]) employ a single diode model (e.g., [3]) to compute the IV curve for a module or string of modules for given irradiance and temperature conditions. Most commonly (e.g., [4]), parameters are determined using only current and voltage at short circuit, open circuit and maximum power from a single IV curve at standard test cond...

This paper deals with the determination of the nonlinear I–V parameters of the equation by adjusting the curve at three points: open circuit, maximum power, and short circuit. Given these three points, which are provided by all commercial array datasheets, the method finds the best currentvoltage (I–V) equation for the Single-diode photovoltaic (PV) model including the effect of the series and ...

This work proposes a new analytical model to extract the 1-Diode/2-Resistor solar cell/panel equivalent circuit parameters. The methodology is based on a reduced amount of experimentally measured information: short-circuit current, the slope of the I-V curve at that point, the open-circuit voltage, and the current and voltage levels, together with the slope of the I-V curve at the instantaneous...

This paper proposes a reflection-type wideband 360 ° analogue phase shifter. The phase shifter employs a branchline coupler circuit to achieve a wideband operation and a varactor-diode circuit to achieve a wide phase-shift range. Analytical formulas are derived to optimize the parameters in the coupler circuit for wideband operation and reduced attenuation ripple, and in the varactor circuit to...
