Modeling & simulation of proposed 100 KW solar PV array power plant for MMMUT Gorakhpur

Abstract

This paper presents the modeling & simulation of 100 KW grid connected Solar Power Plant on MATLAB. The renewable energy sources such as the solar and wind offers clean, green and abundant energy. As the power demand increasing the power failure also increases so that the renewable energy can be used to provide the constant load demand continuously. Due to environmental condition PV array is influenced and conversion efficiency becomes low. So a maximum power tracking known as MPPT technique is needed to detect the peak power in order maximize the energy produced. In this paper the development of PV array model, their integration & Simulink implementation are described. MPPT control is beneficial to ensure the output of PV power generation system at the maximum possible power output level. This system consist solar array, IGBT inverter. The performance of power plant is also described with characteristics as obtained.
