 Abstract   In order to perform comparative and detailed measurements of the performance of grid connected photovoltaic (PV) inverters under realistic operating conditions, this paper proposes two designs and implementations of a 200kW PV generator simulator: an interleaved three-phase synchronous buck converter with LC output filter and a conventional synchronous buck converter with LCL output filter. Both implementations consist of commercial half-bridge modules and use almost the same hardware. An appropriate control strategy that implements the I-V output characteristic of a PV generator (with or without partial shading) using a single PI controller is proposed. To establish realistic operating conditions, the output power can be varied according to a given course of generated power during a day.
