Currently there are different methods to estimate the parameters necessary to model a PV cell or generator. The simplest ones are based on reducing the number of parameters, disregarding some of them or assigning an initial value. These methods use simple equations, often obtained empirically,...

For practical purposes it can be assumed that the power delivered by a photovoltaic generator that is connected to an MPPT is always maximal. When studying the behaviour of a PV generator working in this way, the most interesting aspect is the evolution of the point of maximum power. So, the...
