Desarrollo de plataforma para el estudio de sistemas fotovoltaicos aislados con simulación en tiempo real

Abstract

This project develops a real-time simulation platform for the study of off-grid photovoltaic generation systems, addressing the need for advanced tools for research and training in renewable energy. The platform integrates hardware with simulated real-time control algorithms, allowing the validation of MPPT optimization strategies, DC-DC conversion and DC-AC inversion in isolated environments. A system combining real-time simulation with power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) was implemented, using RT-LAB, Simulink and PLECS to model three-phase DC-DC converters and DC-AC inverters, voltage control and maximum power point tracking algorithms were developed. The results showed a significant improvement in the accuracy of the simulations and in the ability to evaluate the performance of real photovoltaic hardware. It is concluded that the platform provides an essential tool for specialized training and advanced research in off-grid photovoltaic systems, contributing to academic and technological development in the field of renewable energy. Keywords: Real-time simulation, photovoltaic systems, PHIL, renewable energy.
