Real Time Simulation of Photovoltaic System using FPGA

The idea of this paper is to present a Real Time Simulation Framework coupling a modeling environment such as Matlab Simulink to a Real Time Hardware like National Instrument MyRio. The idea is to draft an implementation example of Hardware in the loop simulation for teaching goals. The simulation of PV system including control strategy has to cope with different constraints. The former is the solution of the DAE system required by the PV that is strongly nonlinear. The latter is the fast simulation of the dynamic control strategy, such as the case of Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm. In the middle several other requirements, including the hardware in the loop Simulation.
