Modeling & simulation of proposed grid connected 10 MW solar PV array power plant at Lucknow

This paper proposes the modeling and simulation model of 10 MW grid connected PV based solar power plant on Matlab Simulink R2014a. In today's world where pollution is also a big problem along with the energy crisis, we need to find ways to meet the energy requirements and at the same tie keeping the environment pollution free and clean. Energy from the sun if harvested with proper techniques can help in meeting energy requirement without causing any pollution. In this paper the development of PV array model, their integration & Simulink implementation are described. MPPT i.e. Maximum Power Point Technique control is beneficial to ensure the output of PV power generation system at the maximum possible power output level. This system consist solar array, IGBT inverter and transformer for connecting it to the grid. The performance of power plant is also described with graph as obtained.
