Abstract

Photovoltaic systems play a very important role today in the context of renewable energy sources. Thus, the teaching of this area is now very important. Many of the schools have classical laboratories that are not especially designed for the teaching of this area. Thus, a laboratory that was especially designed for the teaching of photovoltaic systems is presented in this paper. The laboratory is prepared to test the several parts of that system, such as PV panel characteristics, MPPT, integration of storage, efficiency of the system, power profile throughout the day, etc. Supporting simulation tools such as Matlab/Simulink was also used to compare the simulation results with the experimental ones. It will also be presented the learning objectives that can be achieved with this laboratory.
