Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) is the conversion of solar energy into DC electrical energy using PV cells. In addition, solar energy is an important renewable energy source. In this study, it is proposed that Thevenin's equivalent PV cell model produces a voltage-current characteristic that is quite representative of the operation of the PV source. Thevenin's elements depend on ambient temperature conditions, so charging is derived and simplified to construct a model that closely predicts and demonstrates adequate PV cell characteristic for different ambient temperature conditions. This method is very useful for estimating the desired performance and also for examining
different Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms. Theoretically, the simulation was supplemented with test data, then used to develop an equivalent Thevenin model in which the resistance is non-linear and voltage dependent. Thevenin's method and variable pitch is to improve the maximum power transfer to
the load by increasing the performance of the PV cell. These methods were modeled and studied in a simulation program.
