A Contribution of a Computer Tool Using ATP-EMTP TACS to the Modeling of a Photovoltaic (PV) Module

Abstract

Abstract. The access to electrical distribution systems with the use of solar photovoltaic's is becoming a viable alternative for the provision of generation through alternative sources of electricity. However, many studies of power quality and transient stability need to be made to meet the technical requirements of the network. Therefore, this article deals with the modeling of photovoltaic module in ATP-EMTP tool called TACS for future studies of the insertion of the PV system in medium and low voltage. To validate this model comparisons of the simulations with the data provided by the manufacturer, thus validating the developed model were performed.

Mitigation of transient overvoltages in microgrid including PV arrays

“…In electromagnetic transient software packages and circuit simulators such as ATP/EMTP, a DC source is used instead of a PV generator since there is no such a component embedded in the programme [7,8]. Using ATP/EMTP, transient analysis of control systems (TACS) is more suitable for models have lower data processing time because it has all the control functions predefined in a feasible environment for the realisation of mathematical routines [8].…”
