Design and research of solar array simulator

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Solar array is widely used in many areas, so more research is focusing on it. However, because of the weather problem, the research can not be carried out at any time. So, the design of solar array simulator is necessary. Based on the mathematical model of solar cell, a circuit which can generate the I-V curves of the real solar cell by using analog devices was designed in this paper. The experiment results show the I-V curves can well meet the characteristics of solar cell. The shunt switching unit was designed to maintain the stability of DC bus and test the performance of DC bus of the solar array simulator.
