Abstract
This paper presents the study and design of a photovoltaic module simulator prototype. The photovoltaic module features are modeled through an equation implemented on a DSC - Digital Signal Controller - which controls a DC-DC converter and emulates a photovoltaic module operation. In this paper, simulation results and experimental results proving the proper functioning of the simulator are presented.
