Photovoltaic Emulator for High-performance Multi-Substring Simulations
Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution
This paper presents the design and implementation of a photovoltaic (PV) emulator which can act as a multiple sub-string PV module under various irradiation levels, shading conditions and cell temperatures. Based on one-cell diode model approach, the modeling of a PV module takes into account the avalanche breakdown characteristics at the level of shaded cells as well as at substring level. Operation tests of the developed emulator are performed with electronic loads and a DC-DC converter.
