Modeling & Simulation of Grid Connected Photovoltaic System Incorporated With Insolation & Temperature Variation (original) (raw)

Photovoltaic systems are designed either to feed the grid or for direct consumption. Due to global concerns on environment issues, the 21 st century has seen a significant growth of grid-connected installations. Photovoltaic plants connected to the utility grid contain several elements like PV modules, power converters, electric protection apparatus and monitoring devices in order to ensure secure power generation. Since the PV modules produce direct current, an inverter is necessary to interface with the alternative voltage utility grid. The power generated by solar photovoltaic (PV) module depends on surrounding irradiance, temperature and shading conditions. This paper presents modeling of Photovoltaic system of grid connected PV system using MATLAB/Simulink. Each component in the system like boost converter, inverter is modeled and simulated separately and the results are also shown for each model .The complete system model is given at the end with the results. Module model is verified by data given in the literature. The complete system modeled shows voltage output as 220V and 50 Hz frequency.
