AB - In this study, a simulation model of in-grid solar-to-electrical energy  conversion system is presented. In this case, the in-grid solar-to-electrical  energy conversion system is small photovoltaic power plant, which was  constructed by the Center for Renewable Energy and Power Quality from Faculty  of Technical Sciences (FTS). Equivalent circuit diagram of photovoltaic cell  is described which was used to develop the simulation model of modules.  Possible types and topologies of inverters are also described. The  photovoltaic power plant is described briefly, because it is necessary to  understand the simulation model. The result of simulation is an electricity  annual production by the power plant. These results were compared with the  real values, while its get a good overlap. The paper also presents the modern  modeling methods developed at Faculty of Technical Sciences in the Laboratory  for RES systems.
