It is difficult issue for Photovoltaic (PV) studies to create different types of solar irradiance for PV panels because of various temperature and weather conditions. This paper proposes a solar irradiance emulator based on dc power supply. The proposed emulator allows for building the desired radiation in the photovoltaic panel tests. It is particularly useful to test PV converters such as inverters...
Modeling a photovoltaic source is a necessary operation in order to track the maximum power point of the solar panels for a specific condition. Generally, solar panels are modeled as nonlinear elements because of their nonlinear characteristics. Thus, maximum power point is tracked by numerical algorithms. As a different approach, this paper proposes an analytical maximum power point tracking (MPPT)...
This paper introduces a versatile and reliable photovoltaic systems simulator. It includes the main components of a photovoltaic plant: a PV string and a PWM controlled boost chooper. The key feature of this simulator is the ability to consider different and non-uniform irradiation and temperature conditions (partial shading and partial heating of the strings). All the different I-V and P-V or P-I...
An alternative approach to modeling and analyzing solar arrays is presented in the manuscript, based on the Thevenin equivalent circuit. A commonly used solar array model in linearized, allowing simple source-resistance representation. The Thevenin elements dependence on the ambient conditions and load are derived and the simplified model is shown to be sufficient to closely predict the array behavior...
