Abstract

In this paper, we suggest and simulate a model of an electronic device emulating the electric behavior of a photovoltaic generator. This emulator can power an electric installation under study, to adjust it and/or test it. The proposed model is composed on a buck converter controlled by a PWM signal (Pulse Width Modulation). This emulator reproduces perfectly the behavior of the photovoltaic panel Kyocera-KC40 used in the ERTAIER laboratory (Research team in advanced technologies and renewable energy engineering).
