Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy photovoltaic power generation, specifically a method for extracting seven parameters of a photovoltaic cell dual-diode model. Background Technology
[0002] In modern photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, accurate PV cell modeling is crucial for system performance prediction and optimal control. Current PV cell modeling methods are mainly divided into two categories: single-diode five-parameter models and dual-diode seven-parameter models. While the single-diode modeling method has relatively low computational complexity and is widely used in engineering applications, it has inherent limitations in describing PV cell characteristics. This method fails to fully consider the recombination mechanism of charge carriers in the depletion region of the PN junction, leading to a significant decrease in model accuracy under low-light conditions. In contrast, the dual-diode seven-parameter modeling method can more accurately describe the physical characteristics of PV cells, especially exhibiting higher modeling accuracy under complex lighting conditions.
[0003] However, existing seven-parameter extraction methods have many technical bottlenecks: Analytical methods: Although computationally efficient, they often require the introduction of simplified assumptions and the neglect of the influence of some key parameters, which limits the accuracy of the model.
[0004] Numerical solution methods typically require the introduction of auxiliary parameters such as temperature coefficient and equivalent resistance to construct a set of constraint equations. This method is extremely sensitive to the initial value setting and is prone to getting trapped in local optima or even having no solution.
[0005] Intelligent optimization algorithms, including particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks, and simulated annealing, while possessing good global search and nonlinear processing capabilities, generally suffer from poor convergence stability, long computation time, and complex parameter tuning. Therefore, they do not meet current requirements. To address this, we propose a seven-parameter extraction method for a photovoltaic cell dual-diode model. Summary of the Invention
