Abstract
In this paper, interpolation methods to enable fast simulation of photovoltaic (PV) inverters are proposed. The interpolation methods are based on the event-driven interpolating method that can be introduced in the simulation model to run the model at a higher timestep while maintaining accuracy. The proposed methods are tested on a neutral point clamp (NPC) converter and a two-level converter (2LC) that are typically used in large-scale PV plants. The interpolation methods are integrated into the NPC and 2LC simulation models in PSCAD/Fortran and RSCAD C platforms. These models are tested at different simulation timesteps in off-line and real-time simulation platforms PSCAD and RSCAD respectively.
