Cec permet d avor la réponse transtore en tout pont de la caractérstque I- V de la cellule solare du crcut ouvert jusqu au court crcut. Dans le but de fare des smulatons de ce régme transtore avec Matlab Smulnk, nous avons utlsé un modèle de crcut électrque équvalent de la photople en régme statque et l nfluence du champ magnétque sur le photocourant transtore a été étudée. Nous avons consdéré tros modes d éclarement : éclarement par l émetteur, éclarement par la face arrère et l éclarement smultané par les deux faces. Ces smulatons nous ont perms de proposer un crcut électrque équvalent de la photople en régme dynamque transtore obtenu par varaton du pont de fonctonnement. Abstract The bfacal cell wth an n + -p-p + structure and under constant magnetc feld s placed n a fast-swtchnterrupted crcut and submtted to a constant multspectral llumnaton. The transent decay occurs between two steady states through operatng ponts dependng on two varables resstors; ths allows us to obtan a transent decay at any operatng pont of the I- V curve of the solar cell, from the short crcut to the open one. To perform the smulaton wth Matlab Smulnk, the bfacal cell has been replaced by an equvalent electrcal crcut and the nfluence of the magnetc feld on the transent photocurrent has been studed. Three llumnaton modes have been consdered here: the front llumnaton, the back-sde llumnaton and the smultaneous llumnaton of both front and back-sde of the bfacal solar cell. These smulatons lead to an equvalent crcut of the bfacal cell n transent state assumng that the photocurrent s the dffused. Mots clés Bfacale, Cellule solare; Champ magnétque.
