Taking a 3-MW distributed photovoltaic power station project in Nanjing as a case study, the sensitivity analysis of factors that affect the benefit of photovoltaic power generation is carried
In the photovoltaic system, the efficiency of solar cells is determined by the combination of latitude and climate. The electricity generation in the photovoltaic cell is more in the morning time

The synoptic diagram of the photovoltaic power tracking technique is depicted in Figure 4. The synoptic diagram shows the relationship between the voltage and current of the Photovoltaic array. An analog MPPT circuit directly uses these values to find the equivalent operating maximum power point. A shunt resistor (Rsh) is used as a sensor for the PV array output current.
The framework consists of solar-based PV array, power converter, MPPT control algorithm block and the load. Generally, during uniform irradiance conditions, just a single maximum power point (MPP) is created on the P – V curve of a solar array where the PV module delivers its most significant yield power at that particular point.
A PV generator is modeled as a constant active power and reactive power source in power system steady state studies. When PV generation changes due to the ambient environment, the power system steady state studies do not investigate the transients of the power system caused by the change in PV generation.
With the increasing usage of photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, it is of great relevance to develop effective models to characterise the dynamic behaviours of actual PV systems under different failures and operation modes.
The paper discusses the design of a photovoltaic system equipped with an analog Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique. The system includes a DC switching chopper, a control system, and a tracking system. The performance of the proposed analog technique was demonstrated using the Proteus-ISIS simulation tool.
With the increased integration of PV generators into the grid, the system operators start to require PV generators have capabilities to stay online during the fault, and provide the active power and the reactive power supports when being required to do so.
