The simulation of photovoltaic( PV) power generation systems relies on appropriate models of the PV array,inverter models and operating conditions. An inverter model based on a finite state machine( FSM) is built to tackle the insufficiency of the current inverter model in photovoltatic power generation system in terms of its universality and automatic control capacity. This essay analyzes the operational process and regularities of the grid-connected inverter model,induces its potential state,occurrences and transformation relations,and co...
