[IEEE 2019 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Techniques in Control, Optimization and Signal Processing (INCOS) - Tamilnadu, India (2019.4.11-2019.4.13)] 2019 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Techniques in Control, Optimization and Signal Processing (INCOS) - Hardware and Software Co-emulation Technique based Solar Photovoltaic Sources Emulator

摘要： Photo-Voltaic (PV) Emulator plays a key role in performance evaluation of the PV based energy conversion systems, which is challenging and time-consuming task under varying environmental conditions. This paper presents a hardware and software co-emulation technique based Solar Photo-Voltaic Module Emulator (SPVME) to emulate solar PV Sources. The mathematical model of solar PV module developed in Multisim works as a reference to emulate the solar PV module characteristics. A Programmable DC power supply is employed to replicate the emulated PV module characteristics behavior. LabVIEW software is used to integrate the solar PV module developed in Multisim with the programmable DC power supply. The proposed SPVME system can be used for performance analysis of PV sources like PV module, string and array. The prototype of the proposed SPVME is analyzed with 60 W PV module under varying irradiation and the output result exhibits the accuracy of the developed SPVME prototype.
