Abstract

This work presents an integrated thermal and electrical model for Photovoltaic panel based on Matlab/Simulink tools. The model is designed for extreme and dusty weather conditions. The objective of this work is to reach a realistic online simulation that accommodates all major environmental variables such ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and solar irradiation. The water mass flow rate was used to control the PV panel temperature through surface cooling in order to boost its output power. The output power adjustment was needed for power system operation purposes. The developed model is now ready any future controller development. The obtained results for testing the model under varying online climatic conditions and for various water mass flow rates were very satisfactory. The use of water to cool the panel played two major roles namely PV cleaning and temperature reduction then consequently increasing the panel power output.
