Educational Experimental Platform for Emulation of Photovoltaic Modules
This paper presents a one solution for photovoltaic (PV) emulator. A main part of the developed PV emulator is buckconverter with recently proposed new I2 dual current mode control (I2 DCMC). The given simulation and experimental resultsdemonstrate excellent performances of the proposed PV emulator: matching between the characteristics obtained from the developedmathematical (simulation) model of the PV module and from the PV emulator, adaptability to the emulated changes in solar insolationand temperature, simple and efficient manipulation with PV module parameters and operating conditions, which is useful especially foreducation purposes, and fast dynamics.
