Grid-connected photovoltaic generation system model considering inverter operating mode

Abstract

This paper presents a grid-connected photovoltaic generation system model by considering the operating mode of inverter. Firstly, a photovoltaic (PV) module modelling by estimating various parameters has to be evaluated. These parameters cannot be obtained from the technical datasheet. In addition, the parameters are given only for PV module. Therefore, this research has to expand the model from the module to be the array. Furthermore, the effects of irradiance and temperature affecting on PV cells are considered. The operating mode of inverter to the grid is also considered in this research. Finally, the simulation of installing a PV system into a power grid has been carried out.
