Abstract
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 current- voltage (I–V) equation for the Single-diode photovoltaic (PV) model including the effect of the series and parallel resistances and confirms the maximum power of the model matches with the maximum power of the real array. The novel soft switching converter is designed for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The mathematical model of the PV device may be useful in the study of the dynamic analysis of converters, in the study of MPP tracking (MPPT) algorithms. The converter aims to get the regulated output voltage from photovoltaic (PV) arrays with low switching loss and conduction loss and efficiency of more than 92% can be easily achieved.
