FPGA based photovoltaic madules

Nowadays, FPGA devices are widely used to build control platforms in various fields of real time applications such as wireless telecommunications, image and signal processing, robotics and renewable energy systems. In this paper, a new Photovoltaic (PV) emulator is presented and discussed. photovoltaic (PV) emulator systems make it possible to perform. Different PV system tests under various operating conditions. Its main feature is represented by the use of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) on which the desired current vs. voltage (I–V) PV characteristic can be implemented. Our model can handle the dependence of all the parameters in the model with respect to solar irradiation and temperature.
