Development of a Photovoltaic Simulator with Novel Simulation Method of Photovoltaic Characteristics

摘要

This paper propose photovoltaic simulator with a novel simulation method of Photovoltaic (PV) characteristics. The equation of photovoltaic characteristic is very complex and non linear system. So it is too difficult to implement a PV simulator using this method. To overcome this problem, this paper describe simple novel method using only photovoltaic voltage, current curve from PV module's databook on standard test condition. The prototype PV simulator is introduced to experimentally verify the proposed method.
