Modeling of 100W-18V Solar Panel Using MATLAB/Simulink and Proteus Simulation

This study describes the modeling and simulation of photovoltaic (PV) for a 100W-18V solar panel prototype using Matlab/Simulink and Proteus. Using the manufacturer's data sheet as a reference, we compare and evaluate our findings with the nonlinear characteristics of current versus voltage (I-V) and power vs voltage (P-V). Finally, we apply all of the values from Matlab/Simulink to the Proteus simulator. The model used by Proteus is based on the single-diode, which depicts the appropriate circuit of a solar panel. Proteus software has been used to run simulations to evaluate the effectiveness of the solar under various environmental circumstances, standard test settings, and abrupt shifts in the solar irradiance as well as the temperature can be used. In this work, the shading and series/parallel resistances have all been considered. PV array has been simulated in Proteus to improve model simulation. This work might also serve as a guide for less experienced researchers studying PV panels on how to replicate a PV in various ways.
