Modelling Photovoltaic Systems Using PSpice®

Castañer and Silvestre provide a comprehensive treatment of PV system technology analysis. Using PSpice, the tool of choice for circuits and electronics designers, this book highlights the increasing importance of modelling techniques in the quantitative analysis of PV systems. This unique treatment presents both students and professional engineers, with the means to understand, evaluate and develop their own PV modules and systems.

• Provides a unique, self-contained, guide to the modelling and design of PV systems
• Presents a practical, application oriented approach to PV technology, something that is missing from the current literature
• Uses the widely known PSpice circuit-modelling tool to analyse and simulate the performance of PV modules for the first time
• Written by respected and well-known academics in the field
