Emulator Solar Panel

A new pv emulator to evaluate the i v profile of solar panels the device is based on a state feedback adaptive control system in a real time controller.

Emulator solar panel.

It is a flexible instrument designed to emulate the output of solar panels from different manufacturers variations due to time of the day effect of season and different geographical locations of installation. Most of these pv emulators take a mathematical model of a solar cell which is based on specific cell parameters and calculate the emulator s voltage and current characteristics based on this model. The solar pv emulator is a programmable power supply designed to emulate solar panels. Solar array simulator is a dc power supply that can simulate the current and voltage.

Electricity generation from the photovoltaic pv systems is a major renewable energy source as it involves zero greenhouse gas emission and no fossil fuel consumption. By being able to accurately simulate solar panels under various space conditions with complete control a system developer can comprehensively verify design margins and quickly test in production spacecraft power systems and their associated electronics. The current and the voltage generated by the emulator under the same conditions show a perfect agreement with those delivered by the photovoltaic panel under consideration. To achieve the target of solar generation by 2022 the approach and methodology opted should be made faster efficient and cheap.

With fast transient response the emulator responds to change in load conditions and maintains the output on iv characteristics of the selected panel for a given ambient condition. According to its developers it can achieve. These pv emulators were developed using custom built power supplies or modified versions of commercially available power supplies. A novel pv emulator is constructed by using conventional solar panels with a dc power supply.

It is a flexible instrument designed to emulate the output of solar panels from different manufacturers variations due to time of the day effect of season. 600s dc power supply with solar array simulation can program the i v curve through sas mode and table mode via front panel or softpanel easily and up to 100 i v curves can be stored in the unit. The emulator combines the measured solar irradiation with an estimated incidence angle to determine the actual irradiation received by the panel. The incidence angle changes from 49 to 82.

The user can recall the i v curve from 62150h 600s afterwards.
