Modeling a photovoltaic string problem

Question

Hello

I am carrying out the MPPT algorithm for the solar panel array using the BP365 model, I found a file pv_lookup_data_bp365.mat, where the information of this specific module is located, the simulation in plecs works well. My question is how can I obtain the .mat file for another photovoltaic module with other characteristics, for example the BP585 module. I have searched for information, but I have not been successful in my search. Appreciate your help

Greetings
Daniel

PLECS does not include a database of profiles for PV panels.  There are several online resources and papers that include procedures to go from datasheet parameters like Voc, Isc, etc. to a equivalent IV curves. Alternatively, the BP585 module datasheet may contain IV data as well, which can be digitized and converted into lookup table data.
