Abstract
In order to develop a PV system, it needs to be either tested in a laboratory based power system model or to be simulated using a simulation program like Simulink. In fact, PV simulations provide good understanding of PV performance. The effect of many PV parameters can be studied and analyzed by simulating the proposed model. This paper presents a proposed PVPS Simulink model suitable for direct coupled PV-AC load system. The model consists of PV generator, DC-DC converter, maximum power point controller, DC-AC inverter and capacitor bank DC link as energy storage system. The DC link is used also to maintain balance between the DC power and the AC power transferred to the load. The entire system components are designed and a Matlab-Simulink model is developed and simulated to validate the optimum design of them. Measurements are taken at each stage of the system to test, verify and validate the design. Simulations results verify the functionality of PV generation systems with a resistive AC load.
