Abstract We present a computer-modeling framework for photovoltaic (PV) source emulation that preserves the exact single-diode physics while enabling iteration-free, real-time evaluation. We derive two closed-form explicit solvers based on the Lambert W function: a voltage-driven V-Lambert solver for high-fidelity I–V computation and a resistance-driven R-Lambert solver designed for seamless integration in a closed-loop PV emulator. Unlike Taylor-linearized explicit models, our proposed formulation retains the exponential nonlinearity of the PV equations. It employs a numerically stable analytical evaluation that eliminates the need for lookup tables and root-finding, all while maintaining limited computational costs and a small… More >
