Simulation of a photovoltaic emulator

Dale Dolan, Joseph Durago, Joe Crowfoot, Taufik Taufik

Abstract

This paper will outline the simulation of a photovoltaic emulator. A photovoltaic emulator is a DC-DC converter which has similar electrical characteristics to a photovoltaic panel. A photovoltaic emulator allows PV systems to be analyzed in a controlled environment where using actual photovoltaic panels would produce inconsistent results for the PV system, due to variability in outside temperature and weather conditions.
