how to connect a variable resistor solar cell

Hello to all teachers

I have a solar cell simulation circuit with the gray wolf algorithm. I wanted to replace the resistance of the boost circuit connected to the solar cell with a variable resistor.

Due to various radiations of the resistance of the output circuit, the output power does not track well.

I want a variable resistance so that by increasing and decreasing the radiation to the cells, we can observe the maximum power on the scope.

Thank you

Hi Soshiant,

To add a variable Resistor to your model, you can make use of the Discrete variable resistor block. To learn more about this block, click on the link below;
