14 TWO DIODES MODEL Luque A, Hegedus S Handbook of photovoltaic science and engineering Wiley

15 TWO DIODES MODEL - I SC [A] is the short-circuit current when there are no parasitic resistances - I o1 [A]is the dark saturation current due to the recombination in the quasi-neutral region - I o2 [A] is the dark saturation current due to the recombination in the space-charge region - q [C] is the electron charge - R s [Ω] is the series resistance - R sh [Ω] is the shunt resistance - k [J/K] is the Boltzmann s constant - T [K] is the cell temperature The 5 parameters I SC, I 01, I 02, R S, R Sh are usually not listed in the data sheet of a PV device!!! 1. for the calculus of the 5 parameters 2. EMPIRICAL MODEL

16 EMPIRICAL MODEL - I [p.u.] is the per unit current referred to I sc - I L [p-u.] is per unit irradiance referred to 1.000W/m 2 - z [1/ C] is the current-voltage coefficient referred to I sc - T C [ C] is the solar cell temperature - m [ ] is an exponential factor - V [p.u.] is the per unit voltage referred to V oc - w [1/ C] is the voltage-temperature coefficient referred to V oc Massi Pavan A, Mellit A, Lughi V Explicit empirical model for general photovoltaic devices: experimental validation at maximum power point Solar Energy 101 pp , 2014
