Background System Advisor Model
1. Equivalent circuit models
2. Point models
3. “Data” models

Background System Advisor Model
Single diode model
Great at STC, but what about all these conditions?
5
Background System Advisor Model
Original model
implementation in SAM:
“Procedure for applying
IEC-61853 test data to a
single diode model”,
Dobos, PVSC 2014
Based only on thin film data!
Curve fitting errors sometimes
reduced ability of the model
to accurately reproduce test
data

Estimating Parameters at Test Conditions System Advisor Model
7
Estimating Parameters at Any Condition System Advisor Model
8
Estimating Parameters at Any Condition System Advisor Model
9
Map Boundaries System Advisor Model
If desired operating
condition is…
• sufficiently near edge of
convex hull defined by
test points, nearest
known point used
• Too far away, model
reverts to standard
single diode model
equations

Comparison with 6 Parameter Model System Advisor Model
11
Comparison with 6 Parameter Model System Advisor Model
88% reduction in error on average across 20 modules
12
Upcoming Work System Advisor Model
Further validation compared to measured data using MPERT data
13
• Desktop Application
• Built-in Scripting Language
• Software Development Kit (SDK)
o C/C++
o Matlab
o Python
o C#
o Java
• Upcoming: SAM open-sourcing
(more on that later!)
