Simulation of an Autonomous Photovoltaic System in MATLAB Simulink Software Environment

Abstract

The paper describes a possibility of constructing mathematical models of any photovoltaic module with known indicators of the module surface temperature and solar radiation. As a result of modeling, the dependencies of the current-voltage characteristics of the module on temperature and solar radiation were obtained. A mathematical autonomous photovoltaic system simulation model, featuring photovoltaic modules, an inverter, a LCL filter, a single-phase transformer and a consumer of electrical energy, is developed. The simulation is performed using MATLAB Simulink.
