Abstract:This paper presents a new method to characterize photovoltaic panels. The power electronic converter used is a Pulse Density Modulation (PDM) inverter. In this method, the inverter plays two roles: First, it is a DC inductor emulator. Second, it allows assembly between inductive and capacitive load methods. The PDM inverter is adapted to operate at very high switching frequency. In this application, it avoids the difficulties of making DC inductors with high DC current and its control remains very simple. This… Show more
