Abstract: Design and the simulation of a photovoltaic power generation system are using MATLAB and Simulink software. The power plant is composed of photovoltaic panels connected in series and parallel strings, a DC-DC converter and a three-phase inverter which connects to a 0.4 kV three-phase low voltage grid and a 20 KV medium voltage grid by means of a step-up transformer. The DC-DC boost converter uses an MPPT controller and the inverter uses a control method using SPWM.MATLAB is used to investigate the I-V and P-V characteristics of solar photovoltaic cell considering the effect of temperature, solar radiation, ideality factor, series resistance and shunt resistance of the solar cell, number of cells in PV array and reverse saturation current.
