Abstract :
This thesis focuses on the modeling of photovoltaic systems. The electrical response of solar modules, made up of solar cells, can be described by their current-voltage curve, which is influenced by the health and illumination conditions of each cell. In Chapter 2, the I-V curve is modeled using the simplified model known as the single-diode model. An in-depth analysis of the mathematical description of the SDM is carried out, leading to three theorems. Next, Chapter 3 describes in detail the electrical modeling of a solar module using a granularity of solar cells. Based on this theoretical part, a practical computational methodology is presented for calculating both the current and voltage of solar modules, with a comparison of the results obtained with existing state-of-the-art solutions. Finally, Chapter 4 combines the electrical model and the heat transfer model, enabling the calculation of solar module temperature on a cell-by-cell basis in transient and steady-state conditions. This algorithm enables us to understand the impact of electrical faults on the thermal response. The behavior simulated by the algorithm is compared with data from the literature, demonstrating its effectiveness.
