Design and implementation of electronic equipment that emulates photovoltaic panels

摘要

This paper presents the design and implementation of electronic equipment able to emulate the characteristics of current, voltage and power, of solar panels between 50 W and 100 W, with values in irradiance and temperature programed by the user. The device is composed by a flyback converter with a Current Injection Control (CIC) and has a software developed in Labview and Arduino, that allows to the user interact with the device and provide access to changing environmental conditions. Finally, the results are compared with data obtained from photovoltaic panels CNPV and conclusions are presented.
