VI. CONCLUSION
In this paper, we used artificial intelligence as a tool for
modeling of photovoltaic panel BP 3160W.
The analysis of various results, we found that the current of
a solar cell is proportional to the solar illumination, it increases
slightly with temperature, the open circuit voltage of a solar
panel varies slightly with the solar illumination and decrease
with increasing temperature.
Moreover, the optimal power increases mainly with
increasing illumination and decreases rapidly with increasing
temperature.
The simulation results were validated by comparison with
experimental measurements, these characteristics don’t differ
much experimental characteristics of simulation, and the small
difference is due to small variations in temperature at the time
of testing.
A very good agreement is obtained between the model of
the PV panel and the neural technique. A relative error of
about 0.1% is found, indicating the effectiveness of artificial
neural networks.
