Using the Optimization Module for Power Electromagnetics Problems

SOLVED: A PV module is made up of 36 identical cells, all wired in series. With 1-sun insolation (kW/m2), each cell has short-circuited current Isc = 3.4 A and at 25°C, its reverse saturation current is Io = 6×10-10 A. Parallel resistance Rp = 6.6 Ω and series resistance Rs = 0.005 Ω.a) What duty cycle should a maximum power point tracker (MPPT)/ a boost dc-dc converter have if the module is delivering maximum power to a 10 Ω resistance? Consider a junction voltage (Vd) of 0.50 V for each c
