Abstract
The continuous development of different domains of technique leads us to diversity; likewise, there are appearing new types of energy sources in the field of energy engineering, as well as new extraction procedures, conversions or energy caption, but also new components with better performances being used in many domain of industry. The nature offers us numerous energy resources, the only difficulty consists of their transformation into appropriate sources.
In this article, a modelling and simulating method of a photovoltaic plant is presented with the help of the software called MatLAB, using the program’s library as well as the predefined configurations.
The simulation with MatLAB and Simulink blocks leads us to accurate results due to the program’s high complexity level. The program is able to consider all necessary conditions, such as the variation of irradiance and temperature, to obtain a good, accurate and realizable project.
