Ways to Implement a PV Block in Simulink1. Using Simscape Electrical (Specialized Power Systems)
MATLAB provides a built-in PV Array block:
  • Location: Simscape > Electrical > Specialized Power Systems > Renewable Energy
  • Block: PV Array
  • Features:
  • Includes parameterization for series/parallel modules
  • Inputs for solar irradiance (W/m²) and temperature (°C)
  • Outputs current and voltage
2. Custom PV Model
If you need a custom PV model (e.g., for research):
  • Use equations from the single-diode model of a PV cell:
