Description
Summary:The study of renewable energies, such as photovoltaic generators, is still relevant until this day. As a result, PV Emulator is highly recommended. It allows to faithfully reproduce the characteristic of a panel, module or any photovoltaic field by taking into consideration the variation of the radiance, temperature and load. The PV Emulator proposed in this paper consists of an isolated switch mode power supply based on a full bridge converter. To force the current tracking the PV characteristic, PI controller and phase shift PWM are implemented via an F28335 platform. To duplicate PV module behavior, two modeling approaches are investigated and compared in simulation and confronted to experimental characteristics. Then, the PV Emulator is implemented using these modeling methods and the designed power supply. Both simulation and experimental results are presented at the end of this paper. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
