In this study, a simulation model of in-grid solar-to-electrical energy
conversion system is presented. In this case, the in-grid solar-to-electrical
energy conversion system is small photovoltaic power plant, which was
constructed by the Center for Renewable Energy and Power Quality from Faculty
of Technical Sciences (FTS). Equivalent circuit diagram of photovoltaic cell
is described which was used to develop the simulation model of modules.
Possible types and topologies of inverters are also described. The
photovoltaic power plant is described briefly, because it is necessary to
understand the simulation model. The result of simulation is an electricity
annual production by the power plant. These results were compared with the
real values, while its get a good overlap. The paper also presents the modern
modeling methods developed at Faculty of Technical Sciences in the Laboratory
for RES systems.
