Abstract
Large-scale photovoltaic (PV) integration to the network necessitates accurate modeling of PV system dynamics under solar irradiance changes and disturbances in the power system. Most of the available PV dynamic models in the literature are scope-specific, neglecting some control functions and employing simplifications. In this paper, a complete dynamic model for two-stage PV systems is presented, given in entirely state-space form and explicit equations that takes into account all power circuit dynamics and modern control functions. This is a holistic approach that considers a full range of ancillary services required by modern grid codes, supports both balanced and unbalanced grid operation, and accounts for the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) of the dc/dc converter of the system. The proposed dynamic model is evaluated and compared to other approaches based on the literature, against scenarios of irradiance variation, voltage sags and frequency distortion. Simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink indicate high accuracy at low computational cost and complexity.
