Abstract |
This paper presents an application of the Weighted Dynamic aggregated (WD agg) approach to model photovoltaic (PV) units equipped with a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm and a boost converter for power conversion, even in the presence of significant parameter disparities. The proposed model accurately captures the essential features of a PV farm, including PV curves, shading effects, and input irradiance, making it highly suitable for solar farm studies. It successfully replicates the steady-state, transient, and dynamic behavior of the system, with negligible uncertainties in the system parameters. The performance of the proposed method is thoroughly evaluated through time-domain simulations conducted on PV farms consisting of three paralleled PV units with substantial parameter disparities in various case studies. These case studies involve combinations of different stability conditions and irradiation input. |
