Reconfigurable Emulator for Photovoltaic Modules under Static Partial Shading Conditions

This paper aims to emulate the IV characteristics of a multiple-substring photovoltaic (PV) module under nonuniform irradiance levels by taking into account the breakdown voltage of shaded cells, congurations of bypass diode connections, and cell temperatures. A suitable control scheme for the emulator's power stage signicantly improves the performance of the emulator's output. As a result, this PV emulator proves to be capable of performing under various operating conditions of the PV module including uniform irradiation and nonuniform partial shading with great accuracy.
