Modeling and parameter identification of photovoltaic modules

This paper proposes and validates an algorithm to determine photovoltaic (PV) modules model parameters using the information
provided by the PV module suppliers. The effect of temperature and solar irradiation variations on the parameters are analyzed for
three PV models widely discussed on the literature. Advantages and drawbacks of the models are compared to determine the best
adapted to be used in simulation of PV modules for sizing and energy management. The retained model and parameter identification
algorithm is validated with the specifications of two different PV modules.
