1.4.1 Simulation Results
The results obtained by GS and NR for various panel of KD245GX, U5-80, and Shell SP70 under STC are given in Tables 1.2 and 1.3, respectively. It is inferred that under STC, the results obtained from the GS and NR technique are reliable; however, the NR method is accurate with minimum convergence error compared to GS method. Similarly, the results obtained under varying irradiance and temperature conditions for PV panel such as KD245GX and Shell SP70 using GS and NR techniques are given in Tables 1.4 and 1.5, respectively. It is seen that the parameters such as A, Rse, ILG, Isat increases as there is increase in operating temperature of PV panel. On the flipside, the shunt resistance Rsh decreases with increasing in temperature. Similar observation is found in both the techniques, however the maximum power obtained from NR technique is higher than the GS method.
