How to model a solar powered electric grid in Simulink?

Aim: Design of solar powered electric grid to supply reliable electric power solely using solar energy.

The design may make use of a electricity storage component e.g. (battery etc.) The load may be 3 phase or single phase (for industrial or residential power consumption) and is varying with time as consumption varies. Solar radiation vary's during the day (can be assumed constant in morning time)

Please provide a model for simulation.

Hello, Faraz,

I suggest you consider the use of SimPowerSystems for your design. You can find some examples here:

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to have a single PV array block With a maximum power point of 2 or 5 MW and how. Because i am trying to do so but the output values i measured are not correct... Thank you in advance
