| Abstract [eng] |
This master work was focused on modelling and investigation of a photovoltaic module which operates in non-uniform solar irradiance and temperature changes which is typical to Lithuanian climate. 60 polycrystalline silicon cells were used to model photovoltaic module. Matlab®/Simulink® was used for modelling and calculating the whole system. To generate solar insolation curve, the latitude, longitude of the geographic place and a number of days in a year have to be selected. Buck-boost DC-DC converter and hill-climbing maximum power point tracking algorithm was used to produce maximum power point of the photovoltaic module. Modeled system has reached 93.95 % of maximum power from the photovoltaic module. Structure: introduction, review of maximum power point algorithms, system modelling, research results, conclusions, references. The thesis consists of: 60 pages, 41 figures, 16 tables, 37 references. Appendixes included. |
