Modeling of InGaN PV module using Matlab/Simulink

Abstract

We present in this paper a new model of a InGaN PV module made up of numerous cells interconnected in diverse potential configurations. The spontaneous and the piezoelectric polarizations effects have been included within the Matlab/Simulink model. Using our model, one can use it, and determine all the necessary parameters under any new conditions of irradiance and temperature and then, obtain the I(V) and P(V) characteristics. The model has shown promising and accurate results and would aid researchers in the field of power electronics to consider it as a truthful PV generator (PVG).
