English abstract:
The paper describes basic types of linear-mode power
systems for simulating voltage/current characteristics of solar
cells modules. Starting from a current source with a chain of
diodes arranged in parallel (being the most simple equivalent
circuit diagram of a solar power module) a very basic solar
module simulator using a bipolar power transistor and based on
the "amplified diode" concept is developed. Furthermore, this
principle is modified utilizing a linear-mode series regulator in
order to reduce the dissipated power at no-load condition. The
paper includes a detailed description of the different operating
principles, gives dimensioning guidelines and presents also
measurement results taken from laboratory prototype systems.
