Modeling of photovoltaic panel by using proteus

Abstract

This paper focuses on a Proteus Spice model of the photovoltaic Panel. This model is based on a mathematical equation which is got from the equivalent circuit of the photovoltaic Panel; it includes a photocurrent source, a diode, a series resistor and a shunt resistor. Next, this model is validated by comparing its data with the experimental data. In addition, since Proteus provides in its library different microcontrollers and electronic boards, this model is connected to the Arduino UNO Board through the voltage and current sensors, that in order to acquire and supervise the photovoltaic voltage, current and power. And for experimental validation, a prototype using real components has been developed.
