Why do my Simulink PV module simulation characteristics appear this way?
Show older comments
I have tried to simulate a PV module with Simulink for a change in radiation and I am unable to get the characteristics.The P-V and I-V characteristics I am expecting are here . I used the repeating sequence for my voltage source and the repeating sequence stair for my insolation. I get incomplete characteristics such as the figures below.

_ . What could be the problem? I have changed the time values and output values for the repeating sequence source and the simulation time but without success. Anyone with an explanation?

Simscape electrical provides a good example that shows how to generate the power-voltage curve for a solar array. this can be a good starting point in understanding how to setup the model.
Since R2024b, the Solar Cell block in Simscape Electrical allows to generate a digital datasheet for the Solar Cell block, including current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) curves, using a MATLAB live script.
