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.

Failed to find 'Continuous/PID Controller' in library 'simulink' referenced by 'PVarray_Grid_PandO_avg/VSC Control1/Current Regulator/PI'.
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.
when I am simulating the model in R2009b getting errors saying
1)Initialization commands cannot be evaluated
2)error in evaluating system parameters
How can I overcome this problem... please provide the suggestions or mail to balamurugan.m27@gmail.com

Hi
My problems are similar
I am getting errors saying
1)Initialization commands cannot be evaluated
2)error in evaluating system parameters
How can I overcome this problem...
@yuvaraj Kondaswamy depending on your OS, you can download the SDK from the windows website. Afterwhich you can follow this link http://qt-project.org/wiki/Cannot_Install_Windows_SDK Thereafter execute the SDK. I hope this helps everyone else with the query.
Awesome model. Thank you so much!
I am trying to run 'PVarray_Grid_PandO_avg.mdl' as a referenced model from the Kundur two area system average model 'power_pss'. I keep getting an algebraic loop error emanating from the PV array which I have unsuccessfully tried to break using rate transitions and other means...kindly provide any pointers.
A bit more detail to my immediate prior post is that the model I am trying to run as a referenced model is the 'average model'.
Very good job, I have a similar work but I want to have a voltage Vref in the block MPPT instead of daty cycle can you help me thank you

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 !
dear sir,
I m having a problem with this simulation model.
It pops up and says
1. Undefined function or variable 'Isat_array'
2. Initialization commands cannot be evaluated.
could you please respond to it, its very urgent and important.
ty.
dear sir,
I'm fine to contact you for the first time. So, I need some help.
My big problem this days, it's the parameter that I would choose to release a boost inverter (190V to 311V with 3.2 A),
I need the parameter of L, C, Rl, Rc and R ( as load).
You can join me to mail: gmati_badii@yahoo.fr.
Thanks.
Hai, I have been trying to run the simulations but i get the following errors
1) "Attempt to reference field of non-structure array"
2) "Problem creating Accelerator MEX file for model 'PVarray_Grid_IncCondReg_det'."
how did you arrive at the values for PI parameters in current controller, voltage controller and in phase locked loop? Did u get those values through tuning the controllers?
Heyy guys!can anyone help me please?
I am getting errors like
this parameter has not been initialized
and undefined function and variable
Hi guys i had implemented and worked perfect.i want to ask how we choose the gain value of di/dv + iv for the integral regulator.here is 7 as i seen.
This model is the best one that I've ever seen. Thanks
Hi,
I have simulate a PV cell using equations and I wanted to ghather all in a block ( subsystem)or the output will be a voltage, I have the current Ipv as output, I want to create voltage terminal to be able to associate the module and have a generator.
How can I do that?
Any idéa,
Hello, Please help me, how could I evaluate the panel parameters such Rs, Rp, Isat...etc..
you may contact me also at musheer3000@gmail.com
Thanks a lot
Hi,
I'd like some help about the VSC converter.
I need to change the grid parameters.
ty,
Barbara
The PV model is very useful. I have two question.
1. Simulation type is discrete of solver in power gui.
I'd like to implement at continuous of simulation type. Do you have a solution to change the solver's simulation type?
2. Why does it use discrete? I'd like to know the difference of discrete and continuous. Thank you
Hi Subesh and Buvana,
Thanks for your contribution.
The diode characteristic inside the PV Array blocks is now correctly implemented as Id=Isat*[exp(Vd/Vt)-1]. See latest update (oct. 9).
@Piyush
Yes I do have MATLAB 2011b and the program runs fine.
@Buvana
Can you confirm that its running on 2011b (if you have one copy of that version).
@Piyush
It could be that the version is not compatible.
While simulating in matlab 2009a i am getting error as shown below.someone please help me
"Failed to find 'Continuous/PID Controller' in library 'simulink' referenced by 'PVarray_Grid_PandO_avg/VSC Control1/Current Regulator/PI'."
thks
I try to connect this model to a diesel generator model. but it doesn't run. Can any body help me???
Subash
It looks like the Id indeed is calculated wrong. I had noticed it too.
@Prashant: Did you run it on 2011b? I guess change in MATLAB version may affect simulation !!!
I tried to run this model but unfortunately i have received two errors like ,
Error in 'PVarray_Grid_IncCondReg_det/PV Array': Initialization commands cannot be evaluated.
and
Error evaluating parameter 'Value' in 'PVarray_Grid_IncCondReg_det/PV Array/Diode/Is': Undefined function or variable 'Isat_array'.
Could anyone help me out to resolve this problem.
I just noticed something on the diode model (inside PV model). The diode current is calculated as Id = Isat*(exp(Vd/Vt-1) while it should be Id = Isat*(exp(Vd/Vt)-1). Can someone look into it? May be I am missing something here.
nice work. thanx a lot sir
I need your support please because all PI blocks appear as bad links.
I need the parameters please
again thanks
I am doing a project similar to this. I am having a hard time trying to come up with Kp and Ki values of both voltage regulator and current regulator. I have been working on it for weeks with no luck whatsoever. Is there anyone who has looked into it and knows how to calculate those values?? Feedback is sincerely appreciated..
can you tell me how did you calculated the Ki block in the inc cond MPPT control method? i'm trying to figure it up for a week :)
thanks
Hi Yuvaraj
Regarding the problem with C-compiler I recommend that you report the issue to the customer support service of The Mathworks.
Thanks you for your interest in the demo and to SimPowerSystem.
Hai, I have been trying to run the simulations but i get the following error
"Unable to locate a C-compiler required by Stateflow and MATLAB Function blocks.
Use 'mex -setup' to select a supported C-compiler."
I have installed the compiler. But still it's not working. Could you please let me what could be the problem? I am using the R2011b matlab version.
Thanks.
Excellent work
Can you please upload the files with all the values of resistances ?? and voltages ??
Excellent job.
is that possible to make a PV array model running in phasor type?
if we can not? so we can't make an integrated model using both wind turbine and PV arrays simultaneously?
I appreciate your writings in advance
Perfect job,
I'm sure that anybody who sees your Simulink, wondering if you explain more on your PV Arrray block or Boost converter.
however, you did a great job,it worked properly for me.
nice work
should you tell me how did you tune the pi controller?
The PVarray model was built using R2011b. It is possible that some features available in SPS 11b cannot be run in previous releases.
Nice view model but I have some errors on R2007b. Is the version the run error problem?
the model is very good...but when i running it..."Error in 'PVarray_Grid_IncCondReg_det/PV Array': Initialization commands cannot be evaluated."
version: 2010b
Is it because of software version?
nice job..its not working properly when i run this
