A model of PV generation suitable for stability analysis

This paper describes a model of photovoltaic (PV) generation suitable for studying its interactions with the power system. Experimental results suggest that the maximum power point tracking part of the control system of the PV generator dominates the dynamic behavior of the system. These experimental results are used to develop and validate the proposed model. It is shown that the model accurately reflects the behavior of the generator following both small and fast changes in irradiance and AC grid voltage. The proposed model is designed to be integrated in a dynamic simulation program.
