A Practical Example of the Impact of Uncertainty on the One-Dimensional Single-Diode Model
Abstract
The state of health of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is assessed by measuring the current-voltage (I-V) curves, which present a collection of three cardinal points: the short-circuit point, the open-circuit point, and the maximum power point. To understand the response of PV systems, the I-V curve is typically modeled using the well-known single-diode model (SDM), which involves five parameters. However, the SDM can be expressed as a function of one parameter when the information of the cardinal points is incorporated into the formulation. This paper presents a methodology to address the uncertainty of the cardinal points on the parameters of the single-diode model based on the mathematical theory. Utilizing the one-dimensional single-diode model as the basis, the study demonstrates that it is possible to include the uncertainty by solving a set of nonlinear equations. The results highlight the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach in accounting for uncertainties in the SDM parameters.
