Abstract
The design and construction of a modular electronic photovoltaic (PV) simulator is presented. This is to be used to develop a reliable and repeatable methodology for the assessment of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) performance. As part of the design process the simulator was modelled using Ispice and Simulink. A linearised model was derived which is used to obtain an optimal compromise between accuracy and dynamic performance for the controller
