Grid-Connected PV Array
The following two models are included in the package:
• PVarray_Grid_IncCondReg_det.mdl is a detailed model of a 100-kW array connected to a 25-kV grid via a DC-DC boost converter and a three-phase three-level Voltage Source Converter (VSC). Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is implemented in the boost converter by means of a Simulink model using the “Incremental Conductance + Integral Regulator” technique.
• PVarray_Grid_PandO_avg.mdl is an average model of a 200-kW array connected to a 25-kV grid via two DC-DC boost converters and a single three-phase VSC. The MPPT controller based on the “Perturb and Observe” technique is implemented by means of a MATLAB Function block that generates embeddable C code.
A Help file containing useful information on the two models is also included.

Hi Bala,
This model should run in R2011b and later releases of MATLAB, but probably not in could in older ones. If you get a chance to install and run the Pre Release R2015a version of MATLAB you wil lsee that the PV Array block is now part of the SPS libraries. The new block will give you access to more than 10,000 manuafacturer preset of PV modules from the NREL System Advisory Model database.

How does the Voltage regulator keeps DC voltage constant at 500 volts.. I really did not understand because the Vdc_ref is subtracted from Vdc_meas. Shouldnt it be the other way round.. Vdc_ref - Vdc_meas for the error input into the PI controller? Please help !
