photovoltaic cell
We’ve come a long way to gain an understanding of semi-conductors to
see how they relate to making solar cells. A solar cell is essential a PN
junction with a large surface area. The N-type material is keep thin to
allow light to pass through to the PN junction.
2. Application PV :
The peak power tracker senses the voltage and current outputs of
the array and continuously adjusts the operating point to extract the
maximum power under the given climatic conditions. The output of the
array goes to the inverter, which converts the DC into AC. The array
output in excess of the load requirement is used to charge the battery.
The battery charger is usually a DC-DC buck converter. If excess power
is still available after fully charging the battery, it is shunted in dump
heaters, which may be space or room heaters in a stand-alone system.

The sun is a star in the center of our solar system. Earth and the other
members (including other planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, and dust)
orbit the Sun. Sun only accounts for 99.86% of the mass of the solar
system.
Particular light, or electromagnetic radiation in general, from the
surface of the Sun is considered the main source of energy for Earth.
Solar constant is calculated by the power of direct comparison of
radiation per unit surface area, with about 1370 W/m2. Sunlight is
absorbed in part on the Earth's atmosphere, so a smaller portion to the
surface, near 1000 W / m² solar energy to Earth in the clear sky
conditions.
Beam is transmitted straight from the sun called direct radiation direct

Solar batteries, structure and working principles:
Solar is a method of producing electricity directly from solar
power through photovoltaic devices change. Solar cell has the
advantages of lightweight, can be tied to any installation where there is
sunlight, especially in the area of spacecraft. Aplication Solar energy in
the form of this technology was developed with speed rapidly,
particularly in developed countries. Solar battery (or photovoltaic cells,
photovoltaic cells), a semiconductor device containing large p-n diodes,
in the presence of sunlight is capable of creating an electrical current is
used. This transition is called the photovoltaic effect.
Areas of energy
Equation of quantum effects:
eV + hv → e- - h+ (1.4)
Conditions for the electrons can absorb photons and transfer energy
from the valence to the conduction band, creating electron-hole are:
hv> Eg = EC - EV (1.5)
Derive the critical wavelengths of light to λC can create pairs of e- - h+
is:
λC = hc / (EC - EV) (1.6)
So when a light into the solid, the valence electron absorbs photon
energy hv and move up the lead to create pairs of particles leading e - f-
holes - h +, ie, creating a voltage. The phenomenon is called
Photoelectric phenomena inside.
Principle of operation of solar photovoltaic phenomenon is occurring on
p-n junctions.
A photon with energy just larger enough energy to excite electrons outer
conductor. However, the frequency of the Sun is often equivalent to
6000 ° K, so most solar energy is absorbed by silicon. However, most
solar energy converted into heat energy than the electrical energy used
Figure 1.17: Simple equivalent circuit of the solar
battery.
Figure 1.18: equivalent circuit of solar cells.
From the equivalent scheme, can easily write equations volt-amper
characteristic brightness of the solar battery as follows:
q U Rs .I U I .Rs
I I ph I d I sh I ph I s exp 1
nkT Rsh
Of which:
Iph - line of photovoltaic (A/m2)
Id - the current through diode (A/m2)
Is - line saturation (A/m2)
n - is called the ideal factor depends on the degree of perfection of the
solar cell manufacturing. You can get near n = 1.
Rs - series resistance (resistance to) the solar battery ()
Rsh - shunt resistance (leakage resistance) ()
q - electron charge (C)
T - temperature of the solar battery (ok)
Usually very large resistor Rsh so can ignore the last term in this
expression.
Figure 1.19: Diagram of a simple equivalent of the solar battery
including a current source in parallel with an ideal diode.
Isc is the short circuit current in the circuit of solar cells when short
circuits (short out the terminals of the battery). At that voltage circuits of
the battery with V = 0. Set the value V = 0 in equation (2.2) we obtain :
RS .I SC
q . Rs . Isc q.RS .I SC Rs . Isc
ISC = Iph – IS(exp nkT nkT – 1) – Rsh Rsh (1.8)
Open circuit voltage VOC is measured when the voltage circuits of the
battery open the Sun (R = ∞). Then I = 0 line circuits. Set the value of
foreign vessels into (2.2) and one very large assumption Rsh determine
VOC expression as follows:
Voc. = Ln (1.10)
Figure 1.20: Graph of solar VA.
For example, consider a solar battery: cross section of 100cm2
Saturation of the diode line Io = 10-12 A/cm2
Short Circuit Current ISC = 40 mA/cm2 at 250C
Saturation line: Is = 10-12. 100 = 10-10 A
Short Circuit: Isc = 40.10-3.100 = 4 A (full sun, 100% radiation)
ISC = 2 A (half sun, 50% radiation)
From formula (1.10), derived application circuit:

Obviously, the higher the efficiency, the higher the output power we get
under a given illumination.
1. The sun intensity:
The magnitude of the photocurrent is maximum under full bright sun
(1.0 sun).On a partially sunny day, the photocurrent diminishes in direct
proportion to the sun intensity. The i-v characteristic shifts downward at
a lower sun intensity as shown in Figure. On a cloudy day, therefore, the
short circuit current decreases significantly. The reduction in the open-
circuit voltage, however, is small.
The cell output current is given by I =I0 cosθ,where I0 is the current with
normal sun (reference), and θ is the angle of the sunline measured from
the normal. This cosine law holds well for sun angles ranging from 0 to
about 50°.
Figure : Kelley cosine curve for pv cell at sun angles from 0 to 90°.
3. Shadow Effect.
The array may consist of many parallel strings of series-connected cells.
Two such strings are shown in Figure .:
Figure : Shadow effect on one long pv string of an array. The power
degradation is small until shadow exceeds the critical limit.
Figure :Bypass diode in pv string minimizes the power loss under heavy
shadow
gets below operating voltage of the string, making the string current fall
to zero, losing all power of the string.
The commonly used method to eliminate the loss of string due to
shadow effect is to subdivide the circuit length in several segments with
bypass diodes (Figure). The diode across the shadowed segment
bypasses only that segment of the string. This causes a proportionate
loss of the string voltage and current, without losing the whole string
power. Some modern pv modules come with such internally embedded
bypass diodes.
4. Temperature Effect:
With increasing temperature, the short-circuit current of the cell
increases, whereas the open-circuit voltage decreases (Figure ).

Many MPPT techniques have been proposed in the literature;
examples are the Perturb and Observe (P&O) methods, the Incremental
Conductance (IC) methods,the Artificial Neural Network method, the
Fuzzy Logic method, etc... These techniques vary between them in many
aspects, including simplicity, convergence speed, hardware
implementation, sensors required, cost, range of effectiveness and need
for parameterization. The P&O and IC techniques, as well as variants
thereof, are the most widely used.
The MPPT techniques considering different types of insulation and
solar irradiance variations. The partially shaded condition will not be
considered: the irradiation is assumed to be uniformly spread over the
PV array.

3. MPPT Algorithm
To find the MPPT, we icrease or decrease the width pulse (duty
cycle) of DC/DC converter
Example ,we use Cuk Converter.
When D increase, current increase , voltage decrease and otherwise.
3.1.Perturbation and Observation Method
Use according to dP / DV
dP
>0
If dV the reduction D
dP
<0
If dV the increased D
dP
=0
If dV they keep the D
where IPV and VPV are the PV array current and voltage, respectively.
When the optimum operating point in the P-V plane is to the right of
the MPP, we have (dIPV/dVPV)+(IPV/VPV)<0, whereas when the optimum
operating point is to the left of the MPP, we have (dI PV/dVPV)+
(IPV/VPV)>0.
The MPP can thus be tracked by comparing the instantaneous
conductance IPV/VPV to the incremental conductance dIPV/dVPV.
Therefore the sign of the quantity (dIPV/dVPV)+(IPV/VPV)
indicates the correct direction of perturbation leading to the MPP. Once
MPP has been reached, the operation of PV array is maintained at this
point and the perturbation stopped unless a change in dI PV is noted. In
this case, the algorithm decrements or increments V ref to track the new
MPP. The increment size determines how fast the MPP is tracked.
Through the IC algorithm it is therefore theoretically possible to know
when the MPP has been reached, and thus when the perturbation can be
stopped. The IC method offers good performance under rapidly
changing atmospheric conditions.
There are two main different IC methods available in the literature.
The classic IC algorithm (ICa) requires the same measurements , in
order to determine the perturbation direction: a measurement of the
voltage VPV and a measurement of the current IPV.
