Abstract
As the cost of photovoltaic(PV) generation systems continues to decrease, utility interactive systems are becoming more economically viable. Furthermore, increases in consumer awareness correspond to a willingness to pay a premium price for clean electrical energy generated using renewable energy resources. Especially, PV generation systems, in particular, is undergoing a rapid expansion-showing an industrial growth of approximately 40$\%$ per year in the worldwide, as PV cell and systems technology improve new markets become increasingly accessible. This has resulted in an increased demand for the simulation scheme and operational technologies of utility interactive PV devices and systems. The simulation schemes that can be applied to the utility interactive PV generation systems readily and cheaply under various conditions considering the sort of solar cell, the capacity of systems and the converter system as well are strongly expected and emphasized among researchers. So far, authors have been introducing the simulation method of PV generation systems with several papers. In this paper, authors introduce the simulation way of PV generation systems using EMTP type simulators; EMTP/ATP, EMTDC/PSCAD, RTDS, with each examples. And, by connecting the voltage amplifier to the RTDS a novel simulation method which is extremely close to the real condition of PV generation system is also introduced.
