“…These are usually known for their high efficiency and fast dynamic response. It comprises of linear power supplies which comes into picture when there is low power control and also less complexity is required (Vagapov & Alecksey, 2016). Conventionally, controls of PV Emulators were usually digital (DSP Boards) but nowadays PV Emulators are PC controlled using a proprietary software like LabVIEW, DSPACE, PyLab works, MATLAB Simulink etc.…”

The current situation of fast depleting non-renewable resources and excessive damage done to mother earth due to severe mechanization and industrialization has resulted in alarming rate of pollutions. The one-word answer for it is that we should start harnessing renewable resources of energy. Tapping sun’s energy is a wonderful and apt answer to the current situation of energy requirement. World over this technology is worked upon to make use of sun’s energy easy to be converted into usable energy form i.e. electricity. The research work being carried on in varied fields however to mention one such aspect of solar panels is irradiance -receiving and capturing powers. Along with the irradiance, the area of a panel which is exposed to sun, the daytime and location are some of the factors affecting the amount of power generated using solar power as generating source. From research point of view, to analyze the effect of variation of these parameters, it is difficult to get the analysis data using solar panels and hence now a day’s emulator is preferred and used for research purposes. This paper focuses on the basics of emulator, its structure, functioning, effect of various parameter variations on the analysis of the generated power and other related benefits using emulator. The paper also presents the effect of partial shading on the maximum power generated and the efficiency hence obtained. The performance analysis is done on an Experimental set up fabricated in Research lab.

“…The main learning outcome of practical experiments on PV technology is the understanding of Maximum Power Point (MPP) of the photovoltaic I-V characteristic and its relation with the weather conditions. This can be achieved using PV emulators based on voltage power supplies operating under control algorithms simulating non-linearity of photovoltaic I-V characteristic [7]- [12]. However, a non-linear model of the PV array can be simulated using standard educational equipment designed for electrical and electronic engineering curriculum.…”

This paper discusses modelling and parameters investigation of a photovoltaic array using Analog System Lab Kit Pro board offered by Texas Instrument for instructional laboratories on Electric and Electronic Engineering. The modelling of PV array is based on representation of the currentvoltage characteristic by an analogue circuit developed using the components available on the Lab Kit board. The model is applicable for instructional laboratory investigation on the array current-voltage characteristic and its performance at maximum power point. This investigation expands the portfolio of the laboratory works available through Analog System Lab Kit Pro board.
