Introducton Wth the development of new energy technology, there are more and more applcaton of grd-connected photovoltac power generaton ytem [1,]. Tranent model of both accuracy and effcency needed n power ytem dynamc analy wth photovoltac power generaton. In the prevou tudy, two model uually ued a photovoltac power generaton model, of whch one the power flow model, and the other electro- magnetc tranent model. The former ue photovoltac ytem jut a a mple power ource wthout conderng t dynamc proce [3-5], whle the latter etablhed accordng to pecfc photovoltac ytem, and trctly reflect the maxmum power pont trackng(mppt) and the nverter control [6-9]. The latter very detaled and can meet the requrement of grd tranent proce analy, but t alo ha many problem, uch a: 1) the electromagnetc tranent model not unveral becaue the nternal tructure and control method of photovoltac ytem are dfferent of dfferent manufacture, o a lot of work needed f we want to etablh electromagnetc tranent model for dfferent manufacturer and type, ) the electromagnetc tranent model need propretary equpment nternal parameter, whch are dffcult to obtan, 3) the electromagnetc tranent model need mall compute tep becaue of t complexty, reultng n long computaton tme, and 4) at preent, large power grd analy often requre bune or engneerng mulaton oftware, o n order to mprove the automaton level and expand the cale of calculaton, unfed model needed for dfferent knd of power, ncludng photovoltac. In concluon, accordng to the demand of the electromechancal tranent mulaton of power ytem, a unveral modelng method needed whle analyzng the common feature of dfferent knd of photovoltac power generaton ytem. In th paper, electromagnetc tranent model of photovoltac power generaton ytem ntroduced frt accordng to the reference, and then a general electromechancal tranent model of grd-connected photovoltac power ytem propoed, and two mulaton model are etablhed n PSCAD/EMTDC. By comparng the mulaton reult of two model, the correctne and valdty of the electromechancal tranent model verfed, whch provde reference model for mulaton and modelng of large cale grd-connected photovoltac power taton.

48 M. ZHANG ET AL.. The Tranent Model Grd-connected photovoltac ytem nclude photovoltac array, DC/DC, nverter, controller and MPPT control, a hown n Fgure 1. The photovoltac array change olar energy to DC electrcty, whch connected to the power grd through DC/DC and nverter. Accordng to Fgure 1, we can etablh electromagnetc tranent model of photovoltac ytem, whch ntroduced n the followng text..1. The Photovoltac Cell Model There are manly two type of photovoltac cell mulaton model ued n related lterature [1]: the phycal model and the behavor model. The phycal model baed on the phycal equvalent crcut of the cell, n whch ome emconductor parameter uch a photocurrent and PN coeffcent are needed [1], whch have no drect relatonhp wth the charactertc of the cell, and are hard to obtan, therefore, the behavor model often ued n tude [11]. In practce, photovoltac manufacture provde four parameter of the cell: I c, U oc, I m and U m under tandard envronment, accordng to whch we have the followng charactertc of the cell: (1) ().. MPPT Control The I-U curve how that the nternal retant of photovoltac cell tme-varyng, and MPPT a proce of dynamc load matchng, whch uually acheved by the DC/DC crcut. When the maxmum power pont change wth the envronment, the matched external retant can be obtaned by changng the duty cycle of the DC/DC crcut, thu when the external retant equal the nternal retant, the maxmum power of the cell can be obtaned. In practce ytem, the Boot crcut uually ued a the DC/DC crcut. The tructure of MPPT controller hown n Fgure 4. The MPPT controller gve the reference voltage of the cell though real-tme detecton of the actual cell voltage, then the dfference between the two voltage go through a PI regulator, and gve the carrer gnal, whch compare wth the trangle wave and then get the PWM gnal. Th proce a cloed loop control of the photovoltac cell voltage, through whch the actual voltage meet the maxmum power pont voltage quckly, and then the maxmum power of the photovoltac array obtaned.

Take STP6-1/Sc for example, t I-U and P-U curve are hown n Fgure and Fgure 3 under dfferent llumnaton and the ame temperature 5, from whch we can ee that they are both non-lnear. The P-U curve ha a maxmum pont under the ame llumnaton and temperature, whch the maxmum power pont of the cell, and t change wth the llumnaton, temperature or load tate. In order to obtan the maxmum power, maxmum power pont trackng control mut be ued, called a MPPT. Fgure. I-U curve. Fgure 3. P-U curve. Fgure 4. The tructure of MPPT controller. Copyrght 13 ScRe.

Grd-connected Inverter Control The tructure of three-phae grd-connected nverter hown n Fgure 5. The PQ decouplng control baed on ynchronou rotatng frame uually ued, whch nclude nner current loop control and outer power loop control [14-16]. Under tatc abc frame, three-phae nverter can be modeled a follow: a ua e ga d 1 1 b u b e gb d t L R.

And equaton (5) the prncple of current control [14,16]. 3. The Tranent Model Now we have the electromagnetc tranent model of one photovoltac power ytem, whle there are many et of photovoltac workng together n an actual photovoltac power taton, whch need mulaton at the ame tme. Becaue the power flow model too mple to decrbe the dynamc proce, and the electromagnetc tranent model need mall mulaton tep and take a long computaton tme becaue of t complexty, o none of them utable for dynamc proce mulaton of large cale photovoltac ytem, therefore the tudy of an electromechancal tranent model of great meanng. The followng preent a general electromechancal tranent model utable for the mulaton of large-cale power ytem. Th model nclude the photovoltac array model, MPPT, DC/DC, the DC lnk, the nner and outer loop of nverter control. Fgure 6 how the rela- tonhp of gnal tranfer between them. The electromechancal tranent model baed on mathematcal calculaton, wth no electrc element and no hgh frequency wtchng devce. Compared wth the electromagnetc tranent model, MPPT control, DC/DC and the nverter are replaced by pure mathematcal model, whle the photovoltac cell model reman the ame. Thee module wll be dcued later. 3.1. The MPPT Model The man purpoe of MPPT module to acheve realtme trackng of the maxmum power pont voltage, through whch the photovoltac output voltage a frt order lag of the reference voltage. Although dfferent controller ha dfferent pure lag tme contant τ and frt order tme contant T, t effect can be decrbed by the followng equaton: e τ Vpv Vpvm + Vpvm (7) 1 + T where, V pv the real voltage of photovoltac, V pvm the reference voltage, and V the trackng error. 3.. DC/DC Module Take Boot crcut for example, DC/DC manly rae the voltage and tranmt the power. In electromagnetc tranent model, the Boot crcut help acheve the MPPT, whle not n electromechancal tranent model.
