This document describes the modeling of the RTDS PV array model. The fundamental component of a PV array is the solar cell. Solar cells are manufactured using several types of semiconductor materials eg silicon and germanium; these semiconductor materials produce an electric charge when exposed to direct sunlight.
The term array used henceforth means any photovoltaic device composed of several basic cells. The power produced by a single module is seldom enough for commercial use, so modules are connected to form array to supply the load. The connection of the modules in an array is same as that of cells in a module.
The model of the PV array is presented, simulated, and validated against a PV cell datasheet. A closed loop controller for the Boost converter is designed such that, it provides a regulated DC voltage at the Boost converter's output, and simultaneously operates the PV array at the MPP of any weather condition.
The developed model implements all components of the grid-connected PV system at the DC side; these components are a PV array, a Boost converter, and a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller. Each component of the system is modelled, simulated and validated.
The modeling of PV array serve as a fundamental component for any research activity related with PV system.
