Based on the assumption that the input/output variables of all AC devices in the PV station are of fundamental frequency,a method to simulate the operation characteristics of PV station's power conversion and transmission system is proposed.Phasor analysis and controllable power source theory are applied in the proposed method.A model is developed consisting of PV arrays,power inverters with maximum power point tracking function,transformers and control system.Comparison results between the measurement data and simulation results from a real PV system validate the proposed model.
