Abstract

Algeria, like any other country, has drawn up its roadmap for the use and promotion of renewable energy sources. Motivated by its commitment to the international community in the fight against global warming and its possession of one of the largest solar fields in the world, a series of laws and institutions have consolidated this ambitious schedule. As known, both the climate and the geological area of Algeria take place among the foremost favoured countries in the field of solar energy. The present paper aims at proposing a simple model of photovoltaic module.

The authors used Matlab/Simulink software to predict the current-voltage and power-voltage characteristics according to the influence of several factors, such as solar irradiance, cell temperature and series resistance, on the efficiency of photovoltaic module. The proposed experimental investigation can easily predict the curves (current-voltage and power-voltage) of a PV module, where both of simulation and practical results are identical. A single-crystal-line photovoltaic module was introduced close to Badji-Mokhtar Annaba University, Annaba (Algeria) to show the impact of climatic conditions in this coastal region and partial shading on characteristics.
