ABSTRACT

With an increasing number of photovoltaic (PV) power stations integrated into the power grid, a model which is suitable to be used in the power system electromagnetic transient simulation is required. So in this paper, a detailed PV power system model is provided. In the model, the core components, such as PV array and inverter are all considered. Then in a certain case, which contains a PV power system, are simulated and analyzed. The results show that the model could reflect the electromagnetic characteristics of PV power system effectively.
