Transitioning towards a Green Economy in Karnataka.
Recently a simple explicit model was introduced to represent theJ–Vcharacteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances and bias dependent photocurrent asj=(1−vm)/(1+αv), here the normalized voltage,vand normalized current densityjcan be represented asv=V/Vocandj=J/Jscrespectively, whereVocis the open circuit voltage andJscis the short circuit current density.
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants require Direct Normal Solar Irradiance (DNI) data for both design and operation.
