Abstract

This paper designs the simulation model of the PV (photovoltaic) cells by using the mathematical model applying in engineering firstly. Then the output of the PV cells is simulated based on the PSCAD/EMTDC platform by using the single-phase VSR PWM rectifier circuit which uses the direct current control as well with the triangular wave current comparison as the control strategy. The results show that the model could simulate the output of the PV cells well and could also meet the V-I characteristics of the loads. This model will have good practicability for the further design of MPPT algorithm applying in the photovoltaic grid-connected system too.
