DIFFERENT PARAMETER ANALYSIS OF PV CELL

Abstract

Today energy is the main concern for any country. It is one of the main factors for growth and development. Sources of light and fuel are changed time to time. First it was made by wood or animal dung or waste plants. Later they got replaced by non renewable sources of energy coal, water & nuclear energy. These types of sources are very limited. So use of renewable sources becomes essential. There is a huge scope of solar energy. Earlier generation cost of solar cell is very high. But now it is utterly down because of many factors. These are recent market trends, regulatory pressures, consumer incentives, and rapid technological advancement. Stand alone system reduces the transmission cost. Solar power is generated by various mean like solar thermal power plant, Photovoltaic system etc but PV cell is more economic and efficient cell. By Seeing the current development and future scope of PV cell study of this system becomes interesting. In this project PV cell behaviour with different parameters were studied. Parameters are insolation, temperature, series resistance,shunt resistance, reverse saturation current of diode .First I-V and P-V characteristics then change in Maximum power with variation of these parameters is analyzed and variation in the voltage for maximum power is also observed. All simulation work was done in MATLAB. Codes used in this simulation work are also attached in this report.
