Real time simulation of solar photovoltaic module using labview data acquisition card

The net power generated by solar photovoltaic (PV) module and the characteristics of its module depends on irradiance and temperature. This paper presents an analysis of the Solar PV module on the basis of variation in the characteristics under different temperature and irradiance using simulation tool. The base of study is mathematical modelling of the PV module using Labview. The process of designing and analysing has been carried out in two ways- one is the offline mode and other one is the real time simulation using the DAQ card. A real time input controlled by RPS is supplied to DAQ, creating an interface between labview and itself resulting into real time variation in characteristics. The results obtained from both the modes are similar which were obtained using the datasheet of the existing PV module present in the market.
