IN-GRID SOLAR-TO-ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM MODELING AND TESTING

Abstract

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